Lula Handmade T-Shirts

Possibly the highlight of my commercial photography career to date...

After moths of planning and sewing, Katie bit the bullet and we had a brilliant couple of days shooting with some absolutely A Class models!

Makes me feel all proud to be a woman when I think what we achieved together, Katie and I...

Katie is one of the nicest and most talented people I know. I hope I've done her beautiful designs justice.

...and as for the models...could you ask for anything more?

Everyone was so professional even though few of them hadn't done anything like this before...

Katie's friend, Georgie more than kindly leant us her house for the shoot,

It was a perfect space to work in and then kids felt really at home...well quite naughty in fact!

Thank you all, especially Georgie, Katie and all the mums, for a great couple of days. Worth it, I think you'll agree!!

Sarah and Meng's Pre-Wed Shoot

I am photographing Sarah and Meng's wedding at in Cambridge this year - hooray!

The couple met at Cambridge University and will marry in Selwyn College. They love Cambridge but at the moment are living near the beautiful Greenwich so they invited me to come and photograph them in the park a few weekends ago. Of course I jumped at the chance with spring blossom in mind!

We had a fabulous day for the shoot. The weather was fantastic.

Thank you for lunch, both of you...and for letting Diesel find a new friend in Benny. He's been talking about him and the other animals ever since!

I can't wait to photograph Sarah and Meng's wedding in July. Bring on the summer!

Ruben

My new baby nephew. He is perfect. x

Time Out

Last week I took a little seaside break...

Thank you for rejuvenation! x

Happy Birthday Jasmine!

I can't believe I was Jasmine's age when I met my best friend, who happens to be this beautiful young lady's mum! Ah!

I promised Jasmine a photo shoot as a Christmas present...sorry for the delay, Jas!

Yesterday was Jasmine's 12th Birthday. She came over to fill her brand new iPod up with music. The sun was shining so whilst waiting for a download we nipped outside and I started snapping!

Jasmine is the kindest, sweetest most gorgeous girl in the world. I am a very proud Godmother (and very with it, I tell you! I know who One Direction are, just don't ask me to name a song!)

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart. x

My Little Sev

He is the cheekiest monkey out there...

He makes my heart melt.

We've had lots of time, playing in the woods whilst his mummy has been in hospital, having his little brother.

It was one of those really warm days. We just wanted to feel the warmth on our....tummies!

Were you made so beautiful so I could photograph you?

Thank you for being you...

This one goes out to the one I love...

To My Dearest Sister...

You are beautiful.

Get well soon. I love you. I can't wait to photograph your baby. xx

Country Life in Landbeach

The Brightley family asked me to take their portrait over the Easter weekend. Of course it was an honour to be asked by these close neighbours and dog-walking friends!

It was such a rainy day but there were a few of hardy family members who helped make my dream of photographing them in their shooting gear come true!

Thank- you, John and Ben. It was great to photograph you and your very special lady, Jess. I love her grey whiskers. She's still got it!! x

A New Little Star is Born!

Please welcome baby Madeleine to the world! She has very proud parents who are a real power team!

It was such a delight to spend some time with Nathalie and Lawrence and their brand new baby girl in Cambridge recently. I'm getting more and more experience of photographing new babies. Note to self...they leak!

Thank you for a lovely morning, guys. I really enjoyed it. Madeleine really is a little darling. Sorry about all the washing ;) x

A beautiful tree, a beautiful family

I was over the moon when Carrie asked me to photograph her gorgeous family in St Albans, Hertfordshire.

I thought it couldn't get much better but then came the sunshine and a stunning tree!

If ever there was a yummy mummy, Carrie is it!!

It's not surprising that between her and the lovely Nick (thanks for lunch, Nick!) they have created a little angel, Arabella.

As you can imagine they were just a dream to photograph, despite some naughty antics going on in the background...

Anyone who knows me, knows how I feel about black labradors...I LOVE THEM...and Max, despite being almost as naughty as Diesel (my pup) actually was a superstar when his turn came for a photograph.

Thank you for being such perfect models. I had a wonderful time. x

My New Friend, Dom

I met the talented Mr Dominic Whiten at a wedding Fair at Madingly Hall. I had an instant attraction to his work. His stand looked so clean and fresh...I just knew we were gonna get on!

I assisted Dom a couple of weeks ago. It was such a great few days. We talked about all our favourite influences, equipment, processing and business strategies and put the world of photography to rights!

Dom is super generous with his time and advice which I thinks makes absolutely the best photographers of all.

Thank you for being my new friend, Dom. We're a good team. I can't wait for more adventures to come this year.

Model Baby!

You might recognise these beautiful bibs made by the wonderfully talented Katie Beeke.

You might not recognise our beautiful new model, Lillian.

I photographed this brilliant little lady in a gorgeous studio in Cambridge. It reminded me of how much I love studio work. Any more babies want their portrait taking?!!! Happy to help!

Thank you to mum, Kirsty who's amazing singing and dancing had us all in stitches, including Lillian! It was as much as I could do to hold the camera straight, I was laughing so much!

Where the Wild Things Are!

Place? Claridges...

Time? Mulberry...

...for breakfast!

Who?...Everybody!

What?...

Need I say more?
