Family photography is a huge part of my work and I love getting to know the individuals and families that I photograph, with families often returning year after year (or every few years) to update their family portraits as their children get older. It's an opportunity that I've had the privilege to have with many families over the years, and I particularly enjoy watching the
I love maternity photo shoots; the excitement and anticipation of what's to come is infectious. There's a slight nervousness for mothers as they anticipate labour and life with their newborn baby which I love to capture. In my opinion it's something beautiful that needs to be photographed thoughtfully and delicately, and when photographed right is absolutely beautiful. I really enjoyed capturing Sam and Rhiannon a
There's nothing quite like a family get together, and there's nothing like trying to organise a family photo. Believe me, my extended family has over 60 people in it, and it gets harder every time! It's always a fun challenge when I'm asked to photograph multi-generational family photos, so here's a few hints and tips to help you plan your family photo shoot. My number
There's nothing quite as precious as the arrival of a newborn baby into a family, and I find it such an honour to be asked to photograph this special time of life for both the parents to treasure and the little one to one day look back on.

Portrait photos for a Bulldog. When I was called and asked if I'd be happy to capture a single portrait of a British bulldog, I was a bit perplexed as I am slightly better geared up to photographing families and groups of people, but the customer insisted that he wanted a portrait style photo of his pet pooch. Knowing the old moto "never work with
One of my favourite aspects of being a photographer is being a part of people's lives and capturing their happiest moments for them to treasure forever. Those moments become all the more special as customers come back time and again to show off their growing families, and I get to see their little ones growing up and capture the exciting new chapters in their little
Late November (and very early December) is the time you want to book into the studio or even book an outdoor family photo shoot if you're wanting your photos edited, ready and delivered in time to get prints/canvases and anything like that back in time for Christmas. The four weeks before Christmas are some of the busiest weeks of the year for me as a
I really love photographing families, especially families with young children...I don't know. There's something about kids that makes me smile (maybe it's having my own...!) But watching and capturing the love of a family as they play, laugh and have a great time in my studio has got to be one of the highlights of my job. This lovely and beautiful family were no exception
Two slightly different photo shoots being summed up here, but with a common theme. These two young men had both finished their studies, one a sixth form student at Christ's Hospital and the second a recent university graduate. They and their parents wanted a record of their time and the student being unable to attend his graduation ceremony wanted a graduation photo and the student
