A photo of me!

Its so rare that you see a photograph of me because I'm nearly ALWAYS behind a camera!
Anyway, I found one, a photo of me. And guess what...? I'm behind a camera!


Taken in Northumberland on a November sunrise. It was VERY VERY cold!!

Cotswold Town & County Councillors

With the local elections fast approaching, some of the Cotswolds' Town and County Councillors were in need of some fresh head shots for their promotional materials and websites.

This also gave me the perfect opportunity to experiment with my new portable backdrop so now I have a fully portable studio for shoots!

I am not used to producing such static images but the images were to serve illustrative purposes rather than sentimental or creative and feedback was definitely very good!

I wish them all the best in the elections!

Eleanor, Andrew & Ollie

Last week I had a family portrait session with a lovely family back in the Cotswolds, Eleanor, Andrew and 2 and a half month old Ollie.

This was Ollie's first photoshoot so I was very privileged. Ollie was ever so good (although a little tired) and seemed quite comfortable in front of the camera as were his mum and dad.

The family were very pleased with the photographs and have asked for another shoot when Ollie is a little older.

Ollie's First Photoshoot

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing 2 and a half month old Ollie and his parents.

More photographs to follow soon!

Owen's Second Photoshoot

On Boxing Day, my nephew Owen had his second photoshoot. He is going to have a well documented life so he might as well get used to the camera sooner rather than later. As it happened, he seemed to love it in front of the lens!

I haven't seen Owen since just after he was born as I live so far away, but I can't believe how much he has grown in just 6 weeks!

Oh, and he has the teeniest little hands!

Christmas Shortbread

I always try to make something at Christmas for friends and family. A couple of years ago I knitted everyone scarves, last year I baked biscuits and cakes and this year I made shortbread.

I didn't want to go with the typical 'biscuit box' idea so I decided to package them slightly differently...

Busy, busy, busy...

I haven't been posting as often as I would like recently for a number of reasons. I have been working full time which has meant that I am limited to evenings and weekends for camera time and of course, there has been Christmas.

Heading into the New Year, I have a lot of plans so my blogging should start to increase a little more soon and there will be some rather big changes to come too!
