Hi all,
I have not blogged in a while as the model work has gone quiet but I thought I’d post a quick update on my recent holiday. I spent some time in Barcelona and I thought I’d treat you to some of my holiday snaps. It’s a great city and if you get the chance to go please make time. Such a great vibe to the city. I have loads of work booked in for the coming months so be sure to bookmark the site and pop back to see what I have been up to.
Tonight I processed another batch from Cornwall and I have settled on a few more favourites. I thought this time I would post larger pictures so you can appreciate the full effect of how stunning the sunsets were. All taken with my canon 350 with the 24-70 2.8L lens which produces fantastic rich colours and sharpness. These shots were taken at Crantock and Fistral beach and take full advantage of the low autumn sunsets. I love the richness of the sky and the glassy effect of the water. The camera club would probably throw these out as some are a little dark but I’ve always been a fan of contrasty shots so as it’s my blog, I will show them! My my, 3 blogs in 2 days, I must have too much time on my hands!
Comments welcomed as always 
This September I was lucky enough to go on a wonderful family holiday to visit my sister in Cornwall. It was great as it allowed me to see a part of the country I’d always wanted to visit, and it also allowed me to test out my landscape photography skills. We had a great week and were really lucky with the weather – clear blue skies and beautiful sunshine. The sunsets were breathtaking.
All images below were taken on my Canon SD750 point & shoot and processed through Aperture with minor tweaks that took no time at all. Images were taken at various bays in and around Newquay and St Ives. Click on the thumbnail of each picture to see a larger version. If you haven’t been I’d advise you to go!
Feel free to leave any comments, feedback is always good!
Well for those of you who regularly stop by, you will know that I haven’t blogged in ages. Not through laziness I might add, more due to the fact that the IT department (me) has been unable to resolve several pressing hardware issues with my laptop. Well I am pleased to inform you after significant investment I am back at full power with the addition of a brand new Apple Imac 20″ so I am able to edit now with ease and produce more consistent files. Great news if you were thinking about booking a session with me! Please contact me if you would like any family portraits doing in the run up to Christmas – could be a great present!
Hello! Well I got an odd request by email several weeks ago from another photographer called Ed O’Keefe and he asked if he could critique one of my images from my recent set with Anita (see below). Ed is a keen amateur photographer based in Manchester, UK. I was happy for him to do this, and today I get an email saying my image has been given the once-over! Well it’s not too harsh, and I do agree in some ways with Ed’s comments, if I were to do it again I would fix the hat, and quite possibly I do have one with more focus on Anita’s face, but for some reason I went on to release the picture you see being critiqued. Anyway, heres a link to the full comments from Ed http://www.showited.com/ and a screen shot for those who are just stopping by.
Hey folks. I’ve been quiet since the last wedding but yesterday I managed to arrange a shoot that I have been trying to arrange for the past 6 months!! I met up with Anita and we discussed ideas for the shoot and we both said we wanted some pictures with bold colours. We ended up in a corn field in Loughborough, Leicestershire and then headed off to some meadows to photograph the great colours on display. I have to say, what a great sense of style Anita has, and she also has THE best wardrobe ever! I’d love to work with her again so we can really push our creative ideas to the max!

Hi all,
Last week I worked with another photographer Mike Patterson http://www.mikepatterson.com/, and assisted on a wedding in Galway, Ireland. This was my first ever trip to Ireland and to be photographing a wedding made it that bit more Special. To say the bride and groom were stunning was an understatement! A beautiful Australian couple, Kristy & Rob. Thanks again Mike

Today was little Alastairs Christening, held at St Michaels All Angels church in Croft, and followed by a knees up in Enderby. Despite weather forecasts predicting gloomy showers, we actually managed the whole day in beautiful warm sunshine. Here are a few images below taken before the ceremony.
I love the power of photographs. My family has huge books full of faded photographs that date back many years. below are examples of the moments that they will treasure in years to come. Families grow so fast, it is important to remember every little detail. Here is some from a session with the Hollis family. This is little Alastair at 48 hours old!
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting Sally and Stuart and their beautiful children, Courtney, Erin, Oliver and Alexandra. We spent an afternoon of madness getting some great pictures for their family album, and we even had Courtney dressed to impress in her High School Musical cheerleaders outfit! All children were perfectly well behaved, even if Erin was a little camera shy, she still looked gorgeous in her pictures. Little Alexandra is awaiting open heart surgery so it was an ideal time to get the family together and get some wonderful pictures. She is so tiny and adorable, and it was a real pleasure to meet the whole family. Here are a few highlights from the day.
Oliver, a real cheeky chappie!

Courtney
Thankyou Sally and family
