I was asked to photograph Annabel’s Greek Christening a few weeks ago. At first I was unsure what to expect, but as soon as I chatted to Annabel’s mum Nicole, I knew it was going to be beautiful. So special to have been a part of such an important part of a little life. Congratulations Annabel, and to Leon and Nicole for such a beautiful, happy little girl.

I find that styled shoots are a great way to ‘refresh’ my creativity, what’s difficult about them though, is to focus when you have so much pretty to look at. I’m kind of like a magpie to these things. So here we are, a small selection of what the team and I got up to at the beautiful Old Halliwell Country Inn a few weeks ago, enjoy.

Massive thank you to Kimberly from Natural Nostalgia for putting it all together, so great to work with you my friend – you are so talented! Belle & Bravado, can’t thank you enough for the three gorgeous dresses and head pieces.

Did a bit of a test shoot with the beautiful Chelsea, testing out a new idea of teaching portraiture and creative photography. More to come on this toward the end of the year.  Exciting!

Josh is the (I hope I get this right) fitness coach for the team and wow what amazing facilities, kind of makes you proud. Apart from being really gorgeous and the setting, this couple are fun loving and passionate, hopefully you can tell by the images. I cannot wait to shoot their wedding! Congrats you two xx

I photographed this beautiful little family in Sheffield beach whilst they were there for the Christmas holidays. Such a chilled little guy, congrats Dave and Cands and welcome to the world little Luke. Here are some of my favourite images from our shoot.

I photographed the Long family in the build up of a huge storm a couple Sundays ago, so they had to endure wind and rain and still look beautiful and happy.  I am so chuffed with how well the images came out – proof that a bit of rain won’t kill you. Well done guys, you rocked it! xx
