My favourite Halloween memory 🎃 and the start of everything
Dear keeper of happy haunts and heart-melting smiles,
Every Halloween, this picture takes me right back to where it all began…
My tiny daughter in her witch-black dress, a crooked hat to match, and three cheerful pumpkins looking like they are having the time of their lives, perched on a tree trunk.
It pulls me back to those early days when Niddledy Noddledy was just a dream, the camera my new best friend, and Arya a very patient model (most of the time).
When I clicked the picture, something clicked inside me too.
A few weeks later, this very photo found its way into a magazine… my first ever feature as a photographer.
I still remember the thrill, that mix of disbelief and pure joy, the feeling that maybe, just maybe, I was doing something right.
That picture still hangs in my home, a return ticket to that happy Halloween day.
Every time I see it, I’m back in those early days of excitement, discovery, and calm courage.
It reminds me why I do what I do, helping other parents hold on to their own little return tickets.
Because that’s what these photographs really are… tiny time machines filled with love, laughter, and light.
They take us back to our beginnings, no matter where in the world life takes us next.
With pumpkin smiles and a witchy wink,
Suchanda

Hi, I’m Suchanda, the ♥️ behind Niddledy Noddledy 📸
Not me in the frame, though… just my daughter proving that Halloween mischief clearly runs in the family!
As a mother myself, I understand how quickly the precious moments of life slip by—from the quiet anticipation of maternity to the joyful chaos of childhood. For many years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing families, capturing the giggles, the mischief, and those tender moments that make your journey so special.
My sessions are designed to create a relaxed, joyful environment where expectant mothers, little ones, and even the not-so-little ones feel free to laugh, play, and just be themselves. Whether it’s the serene glow of motherhood, a cheeky toddler grin, or the way your baby holds your hand, I’m here to preserve the details you’ll treasure forever.
If that sounds like what you’re looking for, let’s talk. Together, we can create memories that last a lifetime.
Visit Niddledy Noddledy to see how I can help turn your precious moments into lasting memories.
