Isobel and Ewan

The first signs of Spring have started to appear in The Cohen's garden in Cambridge.



Isobel is an extremely talented choreographer and contemporary dancer. She is also just coming to the end of her Degree in English which she is reading at Cambridge. A truly beautiful bride.



Last Saturday she married Ewan, a brilliant musician (of course!) at Shire Hall in Cambridge.



As I expected, the wedding was chic, understated and stylish.



But there wasn't a dry eye in the house.



The couple are expecting their first baby in May. It was so lovely for them to have him...or her there on their special day.



I love Cambridge and I've been itching to do a shoot at this gorgeous cafe, Fitzbillies on Trumpington Street. I think you can probably see why.



The couple are used to an audience and they were certainly attracting a crowd.



The couple's reception was at The Arts Theatre restaurant, a perfect place for me to get some, conceptual shots.



Isobel and Ewan are just such a lovely couple...so cool and laid back. They were a delight to photograph and were willing to let me experiment a bit - well, she is a contemporary dance artist!




Bravo, both of you. Thank you for a super day. You are fabulous!

Planes, Bikes and Bumble Bees!

Ian and Larisa are dear friends of mine and it was so good to spend some quality time with Dylan, their little boy. He's such a character!


Dylan is just so bold. He loves his bike and uses it for big adventures. It was as much as we could all do to keep up with him!



Ian made some paper aeroplanes for Dylan to fly. They flew so much better with the aid of his special flying goggles!

There was a buzzing in the bushes and sure enough, when Dylan looked VERY closely, there was a busy bumble bee - who'd have thought? - at this time of year!!



Like many an explorer before him, Dylan took a tumble and scratched his nose. He was so brave. Luckily, mummy and daddy had some raisins to hand. Someone else had their eye on them too!



It wasn't long before we were all smiles again and I was able to get some final shots.



With beautiful light to boot, it was a joy to photograph my gorgeous friends.



Thank you for the lovely pub lunch and for being wonderful you. You're amazing. x

Norwood School

A few weeks ago I went back to skooool! The Norwood School is rebranding and is launching a marketing campaign. The staff asked me to be a part of their exciting project.




The pupils were a dream to photograph. They looked immaculate and were really hard-working all day.




I had so much fun, going down memory lane and visiting classes in all my favourite subjects.




Even Maths looked fun!



The school has a sixth form and it was especially thrilling for me to see this group really throwing themselves in to their specialist subjects...



As you might know, I have a special interest in dance and there was the most dynamic dance class going on. It really gave me itchy feet so I couldn't help choreographing this shot!



Good luck all of you and thank you for being so utterly photogenic. I look forward to another day at Norwood.
