Welcome to my Blog!

 

 

This is the place for sneak previews, to get to know me and probably my girls a little better, after all they are my muses!

Creativity is in the blood in my family, from writers, dressmakers, painters and the odd photographer or two, it’s no wonder it’s a passion of mine. I admit, I have tried my hand at other crafts, but photography and I have had a long standing love affair from an early age.

Enjoy the previews and feel free to leave a comment or two.

A sunny day in June

Tuesday, June 22, 2010 at 4:05pm

It’s been a crazy month so far with lots of commercial work going on, so  just enough time to squeeze in some lifestyle shoots at the weekend.

I worked with this lovely, lively family last year when E was just 5 days old, now walking and not wanting to keep still for a second, she has very much found her feet, and with an amazing amount of clothing changes, which I adore, this was a very fast paced session.

N,  Happy Birthday and thanks for the cake, which travelled very well and was eaten very quickly when I got home, delicous.

Lovely to see you all again, here are  just a few of my many faves to keep you going.

See how they grow

Monday, May 17, 2010 at 11:21am

I can’t believe that the last year has gone by so quickly. This little man was just a few days old last time I saw him , even I forget how quickly they grow.

It’s always such a pleasure working with this family and it was great to see feisty little Miss B again, she cracks me up and although this will have been the fourth time I have shot her, she still inistists that she really hates haveing her pictrure taken as only a 3 year old could express. She has a firm place in my heart as she will certainly make an impression in life.

Even the sun came out in London as we headed over to Wandsworth common to track down buttercups, a little bit of heaven in the city.

J&K, it was so lovely to see you all and spend time with you over lunch, K I have decided that I need to know how you predict the weather 3 weeks in advance, as I recall you always seem to get it spot on.

Enjoy these and the rest will be available shortly.

Summer sun and ice-cream colour

Thursday, April 22, 2010 at 4:34pm

That beautiful summer light is finally here, equally deceptive as it’s still cold in the breeze, but yesterday afternoon in London was fantastic. I spent my afternoon with two little live wires and their new baby brother who was just a bundle of joy.

I started the processing images for the preview on here and have had to now stop myself.. will power… as these are just  a few of my favorites so far!

Thats for a fab afternoon.

Music to my ears

Friday, April 9, 2010 at 9:33am

It’s been an age since I have posted anything,  life, both work and business has been very busy over the last month so a little catching up to do.

It’s been a busy month on the editorial front, and I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s really time to invest in a portable stepladder as not being the tallest of people, this has posed a few challenges whey trying not to shoot up someone’s nose!  With that thought in mind I will have to leave you guessing as I don’t post my editorial work due to , red tape, red tape red tape.

Keep an eye on the  blog over the next few weeks as there have been lots of projects going on behind the scenes which I will share with you soon, I promise.

Yesterday’s shoot, I couldn’t have asked for better weather and London in the sun is such a lovely place to work.  This was quite a challenge for me as I’ve not worked with a client and her musical instrument before, nor a prop of sorts, quite so large and expensive, but A was up for anything which is always great for me.

A, it was a lot of fun and enjoy this preview of your promo shots.

Mother’s Day

Monday, March 1, 2010 at 1:00pm

As a mum myself I know all too well how everyday life can sometimes have us taking for granted the moments of childhood, family and  appreciation of our own mother’s and grandmother’s.  This year why not treat the mum in your life to the gift of photography and capture those precious moments between mother and child of all ages.

This very special 1 hour session can be shot at home or any location you choose ( for older kids I would recommend this) and as part of this offer every mum* will receive a framed 5×7 print of her choice .

To take up this offer please use the contact form at the top of the page or Email me for more details

*One frame per booking.

It’s been a while…

Saturday, February 20, 2010 at 8:26pm

… in fact a very long while since my youngest daughter has let me shoot her and sometimes with a little planning you have a quick session where it all just comes together , perfect light, a more than willing model and a great location, I’ll have to further investigate Chobham Common and make time to have a few more creative shoots with my two girls.

I have to say that I was quite shocked to see just how grown up my youngest is now looking in some of these shots, although H is more than impressed and I’m sure she will have plastered them all over facebook this evening.

Coffee morning

Thursday, February 11, 2010 at 7:51pm

I got to spend a few hours with this beautiful family in London this morning, along with two doting  grandmothers, such a relaxed session it really was like popping round for coffee. The children were fantastic and so well behaved,  it really was a pleasure.

N&M it was so lovely to finally met you all.  Enjoy the preview, a few more than I would normally put up, but I was spoilt for choice.

Yummy Mummy

Friday, January 29, 2010 at 4:13pm

I consider myself very lucky to work with some great clients in their beautiful homes and yesterday was no exception. I arrived in London with the sun shining to be met by A, a rather stunning yummy mummy, who was more than happy to let me wander round her home to get some ideas and very open to my suggestions. These are just a few of my many faves from the session.

A & J you were such fun to work with, I am already looking forward to working the you and the rest of your family again.  Enjoy.

Nursery shoots with a difference

Saturday, January 16, 2010 at 1:55pm

As a location photographer I strive to stay away from white backdrops as much a possible, not there is anything wrong with these, I just love to shoot children and families using whatever natural backdrops are available. With that in mind I have had the opportunity to do a series of mini sessions at a fantastic local nursery, Littluns Day Care in Surrey, using the nursery, house and grounds to create something a little different and allowing the kids personalities to shine though.

If you would be interested in booking a session for your nursery please Contact me for more details
