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.

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!

Red Nose Day 2009

I was watching the trailers for Red Nose Day the other day and began to reminisce the days when I was a Nursery Nurse and dressed in all sorts of interesting outfits and with the help of the children we raised money for Comic Relief. We would bake, paint and dress up , oh those were the days.
Now I am a self-employed one man band I thought dressing in my tutu to sit at the computer all day would just be a little sad ;(

So, I have decided to get out there and ‘do something fun’ for Comic Relief.

But… ….I need you!

I am having a zany photo shoot in the park. The shoot will cost £10.00 and last about 15 minutes. Images taken (about 4/6) will be put on a CD and posted out to you to do with what you will :)
The idea is to have fun - let the children choose their own outfits (!), come in their dressing up outfits, funky hats. Let your imagination go wild!
I will be in Moor Park, Preston from 11.00 am – 3.00am on Saturday 7th March. I will be based near the children’s play area near the bowling pavilion.
If you are planning to come it would be great if you could drop me a line to let me know or – join the Facebook Group (click here)

All proceeds will go to Comic Relief.

So if you have any children, know any children, or are a child at heart come along and join the fun.

p.s I’ll be the one in the tutu!

Richard & Emma

It was a cold Thursday in February for Richard & Emma's wedding at St Leonard's Church in Walton-le-Dale. There was a flurry of snow when the bridesmaids & then Bride arrived.

After a lovely ceremony Richard & Emma along with their friends and family headed off to Mitton Hall, near Whalley for their reception.

Mitton Hall has recently been refurbished and it looked amazing, with a variety of places to take some photos and we braved the cold for a few outside too.

Here are a few images of the day. The rest of the images are now available to view. If you have a password you can click here to be taken diretly to the website.
