Family photographs outdoors

This family came originally for some family photos in the studio, but given that it was actually quite a bright, if cold day, we also went outside and I captured some lovely moments in the winter light.  In fact the family liked the outdoor photos best of all, and it was quite hard to extract the children when it was time to go home!

SWPP Licentiate Qualification

I was dead pleased to hear this week to hear that I had been awarded the Licentiate qualification by the SWPP (Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers).  It's a recognition by the professional body in my area of photography that my photos have achieved a defined standard.  Whilst I appreciate that not many customers are too up to speed with the details of the SWPP qualification system, it was more for my own self development and benefit.  Big smile on my face today!

The photos I submitted are exhibited on the link below:

Martin Johnson Evening

Last week I took photos at a private dinner where Martin Johnson was a guest. He might look tall when on the rugby pitch with other rugby players, but he is head and shoulders above normal sized people!
