Autumn is one the best times of the year to get outside and enjoy the amazing colours as the leaves start to fall and we get those lovely oranges and yellows. So why not book in an afternoon to spend with the family exploring a local woods or park - the perfect opportunity to have fun together and also document this special time with some great photos! With Christmas fast approaching now is defiantly the time to get those family photos sorted as they are always the perfect g

One of the things I love most about photographing families and children is being able to be creative and provide them with images they will enjoy looking back on in years to come. Denise's son actually purchased this photoshoot for her as a Christmas present as he knew she would absolutely love a set of photos of all her children and granddaughter. We met near Figheldean in Wiltshire and went to a section of the river where Denise's children (now all adults) used to play and

Last month I had the pleasure of photographing a family photoshoot for Paula and John at Hare Warren in Wilton. They have 4 sons, two of whom live abroad ,so we arranged the photoshoot for when the whole family was together between Christmas and New Year. The photoshoot lasted about an hour and we just walked a little until we found a bench and clearing and then took some relaxed photos. Even though the woods weren't as green as they would be in the Spring or Summer we sti

Taking family photos can be hard work - especially when trying to come up with new ideas and keeping the photos fresh and unique. I was asked by Anna to do a double photoshoot with her family and her brother-in-law's family at the same time earlier this year. We decided to go to the New Forest and I arranged to meet them at a location I'd actually done pre-school photos for earlier this year. Although it was the same location, I Decided to try and have my own take on the '

A conversation I seem to be having a lot of the time is schools and Pre-School portraits, I rarely hear great reports about the photos and parents often tell me how much they like my informal and fun style of photography and wish they could have something similar from their schools and nurseries. I do think there is a huge potential for introducing great informal and fun photos into schools and nurseries and it is an area that I have been pressing into. Last week I did my sec

It is always fantastic when existing clients ask me to take their family portraits the following year and it was great to hear from Lesley again to book her family shoot before they returned to the States. Having photographed them before I knew they were out-doorsy people and would appreciate getting out and about. When discussing the options the were really keen on meeting me in the Clarendon Estate as thats where they had been living whilst in the UK and the photos would

One of the real privileges of being a family and portrait photographer is that clients often book me year on year and our shoots become even more relaxed, fun and genuine as we get to know each other more. I have photographed Glen, Claire and the girls a few times now and each time is a real pleasure! The photoshoot was purchased by Glen as a Mother's Day gift and we scheduled it in for the beginning of April - just as the weather started to improve! We started off with a wa

With the warmer weather all of a sudden the fields seem to have come to life and it feels like summer is just around the corner, what better time to rejuvenate and refresh your family photos. With the rapeseed appearing over the last few days and the bluebells on their way, now is the perfect time to book your family photoshoot! Photoshoots are only £50 and I only have a few dates available in April and May, so to ensure you don't miss out, contact me now via the "Families &

I am delighted to announce that this Easter I will be holding an exhibition of some of my work at the Wilton Shopping Village! From Friday the 30th until Monday 2nd April I will be exhibiting some of my prints in the kiosk at the entrance to the main square. The exhibition will coincide with the Wilton Shopping Village's Easter celebration - which includes a petting farm with a wide range of animals for children to meet - it promises to be lots of fun! #photographyexhibition
