Private Portrait - October 2010

My friends are so clever. Look what they did!
This gorgeous girl is nearly 5 weeks old and I couldn't resist taking some photos between feeds and sleeps. Hers, not mine.

Business portrait - October 2010

Another business portrait this week. Sue-Mee Maudsley is a fashion designer, stylist and personal shopper. I have had experience of Sue-Mee's talents as she de-cluttered my wardrobe for me a week or so ago and did a great job at making me feel like I have a style again.

Prize portrait - October 2010

I recently offered a portrait as a prize for a photography competition in Playground magazine. I had a lovely couple of hours at the winner's home photographing her and her children. I took along my vintage Rolleicord as an experiment, to try and capture something a little different, it's not an easy task to photograph children with a camera that has no auto focus or exposure! I guess we're all a little spoiled these days with the technology we use. It turned out to be a great success and we were all delighted with the results.

Laura Duret loves vintage.
She loves vintage so much that she has based her business around it. Laura currently sells vintage clothing, organises Vintage evenings and is setting up a bespoke service to help clients rediscover their inner glamour, all under the name of Powder Room Vintage.
She looked beautiful in this vintage dress and the space where she houses her pop-up boutique (above Panache in Tunbridge Wells) was a wonderful place to photograph.

Style Savvy workshop - September 2010

A couple of weeks ago I had a great evening at Hotel du Vin in Tunbridge Wells. I went along to shoot Sue-Mee Maudsley's Style Savvy workshop. Each of the guests brought along 3 items of their clothing and Sue-Mee showed them how to style it for this season. It was a great evening and fascinating to watch Sue-Mee at work, she really knows her stuff.
