lifestyle shoot

I spent some time with Rebecca, her brother, sister and 2 boys the other Sunday morning.

Rebecca's parents are moving to Africa for a few years to be involved in asome aid work, and she thought that some photos of the family to take with them would be a nice gift.

We went for a walk together round a field behind their parents house, whilst I shot images of the family as they played and chatted.

Rebecca is a physiotherapist and has a practice in Broughton, check her out, she has done wonders for my neck & shoulders :)

pre-wedding shoot

I spent the 18th April in London doing a pre-wedding shoot for Jenni & Ben who are geting married on 20th June in Maidstone, Kent.

We met at Trafalgar Square, by the fountains, which is where Ben proposed on Christmas Eve.
Unfortunately, due to a Dutch Festival and the fountains down for maintenance it wasn't quite the scene we had in mind - but we managed a few photos!

We then spent the day walking round London - down to Whitehall, the Embankment - over to the South Bank, down to the Tate, over the Millennium Bridge to St Paul's. Ben wanted to go see Buckingham Palace - so after a much needed sit down in Green Park, we obliged him. Then a walk up the Mall and back to Trafalgar Sqaure - phew!!
Needless to say I was glad to put my feet up on the train journey back North!

We found a lovely sand sculpture to take a rest!

and, finally at the top of the Mall

family lifestyle shoot

I've eventually got around to blogging my Good Friday lifestyle shoot, better late than never!

I photographed this family 2 years ago and it was great coming back for more :)

We had some fun in the back garden with a giant bubble maker, before going for a little walk down to the remains of the Roman Baths in Ribchester.

You may recognise the children from my Comic Relief photos, and I would like to thank the family for supporting me in that adventure :)

lifestyle portrait shoot

It was Saturday morning and I had the pleasure of shooting a lovely family who had won their shoot at a raffle held at Cottam Primary School.
We went for a walk around Cottam with Mac their year old Border Terrier.

Daisy's birthday

It was my neice's 2nd birthday last weekend - I got an invite for Sunday dinner (roast beef - yum!)
Daisy Lou got a 'rock chick' guitar from nanny & grandad - big hit!
Although I was very proud of the daisy hair clips - good find aunty Sam.

"not sure pink is really my colour"

no, this way is so much better

photo shoot for comic relief

Here are a few images form the photo shoot I held in the park in aid of Comic Relief - considering it wasn't the best day for playing in the park - I managed to raise £65 so a huge thank you to all those who took part.

One of the first to arrive - Maisie, Millie & Finlay - I loved Finlay's French spider costume!

By the time Emily & Zach arrived it was a tad wet and cold but we found some shelter near the bowling green - They had rushed over straight from Emily's ballet lesson, many thanks for their mum & dad for making such an effort to join us - much appreciated.

Alice had a more 'grown-up shoot' but was very willing and able to have fun!
