Turning one is a big milestone. In the first 12 months of life it's amazing just how much children grow and develop and a cake smash photoshoot is a great way to celebrate the occasion. Cake smash sessions typically start with a few 'non-messy' photos before the real fun starts. It's always fascinating to [...]
For a family photoshoot that involves lots of children of varying ages, there's no better location than some of the glorious woodlands and forests around Nottinghamshire! We're truly blessed to have such a great variety, and so much of it is easily accessible 24/7. For this extended family session we headed into a local [...]
Being outdoors exploring the local woodlands is one of my favourite things to do! I love the 'unfussy' nature of woodlands, the perfectly imperfect, the bohemian vibes of being out in the open. When we planned this session along a bohemian theme, I knew a beatiful open wooded area would be the ideal location. [...]
It has been a while now since I last photographed images as part of a series, so I decided to set myself a challenge: Freckles! I love love love freckles (and am maybe just a teeny bit jealous that i've never had any!). Harlie's Mum got in touch to say that he would love [...]
After what felt like a very cold and wet start to the year, the warm long evenings of the last few weeks have been a welcome change. It's not uncommon for parents to approach me looking to book a session for just their kids - children grow up sooo fast and photographs make a [...]
One of my favourite things about being a photographer is watching children and families grow. By my calculation, it's roughly 4 years since I first photographed this family, and i've worked with them on several occasions since then. This year, we headed out into the local Nottinghamshire woodland to make the most of the [...]
Every now and again when I've ordered new equipment, I like to arrange a short session where I can experiment and find out exactly what it's capable of. The purpose of this session was to experiment with some new filters - these fit over the end of a lens and allow the photographer to [...]
Every now and again I like to run snap competitions over on my facebook page. It's a great way for people to get involved and learn more about the services I can offer. Hannah's mum was randomly chosen as the winner for our Summer competition, but for various reasons we hadn't managed to schedule [...]
It's fair to say that this session had been a long time in the planning. E is an incredible child model, and his Mum had first contacted me about arranging a session back at the start of 2017. With one thing or another, we just didn't have much luck in finding a suitable opportunity [...]
Since moving house in late April I have worked almost exclusively on location. However, I often receive emails from parents and families who would prefer to book a studio based session so during the October Half Term I decided to run a 'studio day' at the local village hall. Due to an unfortunate last [...]
