This month's Pet portrait Winner!


So, here it is , at last, March's pet portrait winner...Hector the Tortoise!

As you can see, Hector was very shy and has asked not to be identified. He has endured a certain amount of bullying at the beaks of other bigger, more confident reptiles and feels he may be accused of vanity and other such unkind labels. However, his Mum was delighted with her MOther's day portrait gift, which Hector saved up for, for quite some time. Well done, Hector, you were a delight to photograph and your Mum should be very proud.

Georgina & Jasmin

I've had the loveliest day today, photographing people's pets! Here is a picture of Jasmin who was the most delightful, playful dog. She' s only 7months old and she sits and lies down and plays dead (hilarious!) Her Mum says she gets all her tips from the 'Dog Whisperer' and they clearly work! Thanks Georgina!

Playgroup fun


Yesterday morning I spent photographing the children at Playgroup. Its great working with small children who are so full of energy and fun and have so few hang ups about themselves!

Here is my favourite picture from the session.

More yearbook Photographs




It looks like the cut off date for all yearbook submissions is coming around very fast!


On Friday, Elizabeth brought nine of her friends for a group picture! It seems the louder the music, the better the pose, so, slightly deafened I'm talking a little too loud to make up for it!


However, it seems everyone enjoyed themselves, and here are a couple of shots from the session!

Valentine's Weekend


So, the age of romance has NOT passed!

It was lovely to see so many of you this weekend for a romantic valentine shoot!
I photographed Elizabeth & Darren's wedding at Newstead Abbey, 2 years ago. It was a very memorable day and Elizabeth and Darren were wonderful to work with.

Baby Bump Portraits



Baby Bump portraits are one of my favourite things!


Philippa and Aaron were a delight to photograph. Their love and tenderness towards each other and the excitement they felt for the new baby was quite tangible. It was a lovely session.


I can't wait to see the baby when he/she arrives!

Happy Birthday, June




On Sunday, June had a landmark birthday, and specially to celebrate the event, her family gathered for a day full of surprises, including a lovely family portrait. Afterwards to the fantastic bistro, 'Gino's' in Ruddington where 20 family members joined her for dinner and then home to Rachel's where a further 20 friends and family ended the day having fun and canapes! Hope you've recovered June! Hope you like the photographs too! Here's one or two to see!
