Planning a wedding proposal: Alex got in touch with me a month or so back, he was planning to propose to his girlfriend of several years and was looking for a photographer to capture "the moment"! We planned the wedding proposal and photos together via email over a the course of a week or so before selecting Devil's Dyke. We arranged to meet there a
For the last 10 years now I have had the joy of using a great venue for much of my family and portrait photography work, StPeter's Hall in Horsham has been a fantastic space for me to grow and expand my business. It's provided me with a consistent venue for the many photo shoots that I capture there week in week out. The space is
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
A lovely couple whom I met a few years back (when they asked me to capture their wedding at what is now known as Brookfield Barn near Horsham) got in touch to inform me that they'd just had twins! Twins! I've got three children of my own and one at a time was enough for me, so hat's off to them! Anyway, they asked me

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. I've captured photos of every type of baby, from those who are wide awake and watching me
So you may have noticed that this blog has been a little bit quiet this year (by comparison with my usual contributions), it's not that I don't have anything to talk about, or that I'm not busy with my photography, in fact the photography business is going really well (thanks to all of you who are booking me and making enquiries all the time). You
When someone asks you to photograph a make-over studio photo shoot for them you know that the bar has been set high. The standard of photography and re-touching required for a beauty/fashion shoot is different from a family photo shoot for the simple reason being that the focus is primarily on one person and that person has to look absolutely fantastic!

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.
