Macmillan competition winner: in-home baby shoot

December 13, 2017

I was contacted last year by a lady who was running a Macmillan coffee morning with raffle, and was looking for some prizes to offer. I try to do a few charity prize shoots per year, as I think it’s a great way for me to be able to give to charity and Macmillan is […]

Always work with children and animals

December 12, 2017

Some people say to me ‘it must be hard getting children to cooperate’. The truth is, I never mind, because that energy that kids have is the very thing I love to capture. Throw a dog into the mix and it adds a whole new element, especially a dog that thinks it’s a puppy! But […]

A gorgeous in-home Grandparents shoot

December 6, 2017

I’ve only done one shoot before with grandparents involved, but never one just with grandparents, and now I want to do more! Grandparents can be so integral to our children’s lives (and ours!) and I absolutely loved capturing that unique bond.

Golden hour at Compton Verney

December 6, 2017

Sometimes, the light and the people and the place just work and you end up with a set of images that just glow. I was so lucky to get to photograph my lovely friend with her beautiful family at Compton Verney recently and these images are some of my favourite ever.

A wintry walk

November 22, 2017

It was a lovely sunny, chilly day in the park last Sunday, playing with these gorgeous little people. I’ve never had such a smiley pair! We covered a lot of ground, racing around the park and seeing all their favourite bits as well as seeing some new bits they’d never seen before.

Autumn / winter minishoot madness!

November 9, 2017

I tried something new this month – minishoots! I went along to a wonderful little playgroup and did a few short shoots for some of the families there, during their regular play session. It was a very different thing from my usual hour or two shoots, but I think we captured some lovely shots. Here […]

Down on the farm

November 8, 2017

Doing this job, you get to discover a lot of hidden gems, and some of those are just beautiful little slices of countryside you’d never normally get to see. This pretty farm is one of those places, and being able to photograph this lovely, friendly young family on their own turf was a joy. We […]

A village romp

October 25, 2017

As part of my blimmin lovely job, I get to explore so many lovely villages around Warwickshire that I may never otherwise have even seen. Pretty little hamlets with village greens and beautiful woodlands, places surrounded by fields and viewpoints that give you miles of uninterrupted countryside to gaze at. I got all of that […]

Nikki “Take it From Mummy” and her family

October 17, 2017

I’ve known about Nikki longer than I’ve known Nikki – she’s something of a local celebrity. Her facebook page “Mum Knows Best Warwickshire” has been an absolute lifeline to me since having my son two years ago. Nikki works tirelessly to help local mums with advice, support and entertainment, and as well as this, she runs a great […]

The brink of autumn

September 11, 2017

Brr! It’s a bit chilly today. But you know what? That autumn light is starting to look really tasty. Golden and low and warm. So it’s definitely time to get that photoshoot booked that you’ve been thinking about for so long! In the meantime, why not take a look through this lovely little family shoot […]
