  • "Brave New World." On a maternity ward at Kings College Hospital, London, a tiny new-born baby girl sleeps in her cot at the foot of her mother's bed. We see the mum's legs and feet pointing towards some curtains against which her infant is wrapped in an NHS shawl to keep her snug and warm. But it's Summer and the bedding is ruffled at the bottom to keep the heat down for an exhausted mother comfortable in an otherwise airless room. It is a scene of serenity and safety, at a time when mother and baby are bonding. This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.

  • A two and half year-old girl watches her mother bath her baby brother in the bathroom of her South London home.

  • A portrait of a mother in her 41st year has been gathering heather in handfuls and holds up her young child who grins towards his father who is taking the picture at a park near the Essex seaside town of Southend. It is the summer of 1960 and the mum's dress is styled from the previous decade: blue with white spots and pearl necklace. She too is smiling as she grasps the flowers and her child on a warm day. Oddly, the boy looks as though he is wearing a girl's dress which may have been a hand-me-down from an older sibling or just the trend then.

  • "First shoes in Wales." An eleven month-old infant tries to walk in her first pair of proper rigid shoes whilst on holiday in Snowdonia, North Wales UK.

  • "Then raindrops fell on my head." Looking over the shoulder as a mother pours bath water from a toy seive on to the head of her five month-old baby daughter. The infant looks unsure but otherwise spellbound as the droplets fall, watching them leaving the pot to feel them trickling down. We see the child's trust for her mother and imagine her fascination with tumbling liquid, the feel of it touching her skin. This water is shallow, a child can drown in an inch of water so the mum is supporting the baby's head around the neck in the correct manner. This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.

  • "Diptheria, tetanus, polio, whooping cough, meningitis."  A four month-old baby screams with the sharp prick of an innoculation needle administered by a health visitor at a doctor's surgery, London. The post-natal clinic is a health check for the baby and for new mothers to discuss parenting problems with a NHS-qualified midwife and paediatric specialist. She attends to mother and child since they arrived back home from hospital, days after birth and therefore knows all their details and the baby's growth statistics and development curves. This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.

  • In the 24hrs that a further 38 died from Coronavirus, bringing the total to 41,736, a further easing of the UK’s Covid pandemic lockdown restrictions took place with many high street shops today being allowed to re-open after three months of forced closure. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, wanting to stimulate the economy, has urged people to "shop with confidence" and long queues formed outside the main brands. But unlike on public transport, face coverings are not compulsory so shop floors and shopping practices have had to be adapted to ensure customers’ social distances, amid fears of a second infection wave. A mother points out the window display to her child outside Selfridges on Oxford Street, on 15th June 2020, in London, England.

  • A mother leads her kids past the exterior frontage of Carnegie Library in Herne Hill. Faced with the closure of its local library, Lambeth council plan to close the facility used by the community as part of austerity cuts, saying they will convert the building into a gym and privately-owned gentrified businesses - rather than a much-loved reading and learning resource. £12,600 was donated by the American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie to help build the library which opened in 1906. It is a fine example of Edwardian civic architecture, built with red Flettan bricks and terracotta, listed as Grade II in 1981.

  • Female vet, Diana Stapleton is ecstatically happy after successfully delivering twin calves to Fresian cow at Manor House Farm, Barnoldswick near Settle, North Yorkshire, England. With the two youngsters spread on the soft straw of the barn, and their mother facing the corner of the outhouse with the resulting afterbirth still attached, Diana makes her sense of achievement clear to the farmer who must also be relived about the positive outcome. The survival of twin cattle births depends on thorough training and an instinct for animal husbandry and medical requirements. Diana Stapleton belonged to the Dalehead Veterinary Group based in nearby Settle for 15 years, covering a 20-mile area of 500 remote farms though she specialised in small animals and farmwork before dying suddenly at the age of 39.
