December - Wedding





















A December wedding in Bristol for some friends of mine. It was a lovely day, full of laughter and fun. Shooting this late in the year is a real challenge for a photographer as you are always chasing the light but we got some great shots and I even had a chance to set up a photo booth in the evening.

December - Private Portrait


















I confess, I'm a people watcher, which makes my job such a joy. One of the things I absolutely love about photographing families is watching the way that siblings interact, being able to capture that is the challenge I adore.

December - Private Portrait





















There's something incredibly special about 4 generations of a family coming together. Before Christmas I shot a wonderful session with a family of 13 whose ages ranged across 90 years. Sessions like these are great because there are so many connections between family members to capture. I hired a great studio in Southborough for this shoot because it would have been a bit of a squeeze in mine. It's a great space and we were all made very welcome.

Inside Out Garden Ornaments - business photography





















Before the snow arrived, I took a trip out to Wall Crouch to a wonderful, treasure trove of a business called Inside Out Garden Ornaments. It is crammed full of lovely statues, urns and figures to buy for your garden. I spent great couple of hours wandering around shooting photos for their website and went away with loads of ideas for things I'd like to fill my garden with.

Private Portrait - November 2010





















O the joys of being 5! I spent a lovely afternoon with some great friends chasing their son around the garden TRYING to get him to stand still for 5 minutes. It was lots of fun and I think the energy really comes across.

Haywards Butchers - business photography













For all you foodies out there, I have had the best job for the last few months, photographing for our local butcher in Tonbridge. Haywards is a family-run butchers, which is committed to supplying great quality meat to its customers - I should know, I'm one of them.
It's been a great experience photographing all the wonderful meat that Haywards supplies, and then getting to cook it afterwards. I have learned about all sorts of cuts of meat and discovered a love of Ox tail - got any good recipes anyone?
