Sun, Sea and Sand … a beach child portrait session!

As a Mansfield based portrait photographer, I'm lucky to have a number of fabulous locations right on my doorstep. However, given that Nottinghamshire is - geographically speaking - relatively central on blighty, most of these locations are rural or urban in nature. During the Summer I managed to spend a few days away on the [...]

Child portraits in Mansfield – Warrior at sunset

As a portrait photographer, i'm always on the look out for new locations that may be suitable for a photoshoot. Sometimes the places that are closest to your doorstop are the easiest to overlook! I last worked with Ben when he came along for one of my February Half Term sessions earlier in the [...]

The Knight Family – Fun in the park

I loved this session! Claire first got in touch with me as she had long wanted some 'summery' images of the whole family. They had plenty of selfie snaps and phone photos, but had never really gotten around to making portraits that would be treasured for generations. I think this is true of so [...]

The Jones Family – Family Photographer in Mansfield

I loved this session! Mum got in touch after seeing some of the photos from a few of her friends who had also booked their family portrait sessions with me. After discussing dates and times, we arranged to meet at a local park in Mansfield early on a Sunday morning -  making the most [...]

Riot Interstate T-Shirts – Shooting with Jamie

Those of you who have followed this blog for some time may remember the male project that I shot with Jamie Harby last year. I was thrilled recently when Jamie approached me to see whether i'd be interested in shooting some new t-shirts with him. These particular shirts were from the upcoming American clothing [...]

Mr & Mrs Bryant – Newark Castle | Wedding Photographer in Mansfield

If you're a regular follower of this blog, then you may recall that back at the start of the summer I photographed Kerry & Bens pre wedding engagement shoot. Skip forward a couple of months, and the big day had quickly come around. Kerry & Ben had chosen to officially get married at Newark [...]

What happens during a photo shoot … from start to finish

It may well be the case when you book your session with me that it's the first 'professional photo shoot' you have ever booked. It's even more likely that it could well be the first photo shoot you have booked outdoors and not in a studio environment. It's natural therefore that you have many [...]

Natasha & Scott – Couples photoshoot in Mansfield

It’s always lovely when my wedding couples choose to book a pre-wedding engagement photo shoot as part of their wedding package. These sessions are so much fun and a great excuse to take a break from all the stress of planning the big day and just relax.  For this session, I met up with [...]

Choosing my favourite lens … what and why?

I often get asked by interested customers if there's a particular lens I would recommend for beginners, or if I have a favourite lens. It's fair to say that over the years, I've had the opportunity to photograph using a whole heap of lenses.  There's so many lens options available and each lens has [...]

Sunset Family Portraits in Mansfield – The Gee Family

I first heard from Mum after she had been recommended to me by one of her friends. Children never stop growing and since the last time the family had been for a photo shoot it's fair to say the kids had grown and changed a fair bit! After chatting to Mum we decided that [...]
