Fireworks night in Beaconsfield

Every year when it gets to fireworks night I think to myself "shall I take my camera along for some fireworks shots?" and every year I decide it'll be too complicated with tripods, children, hot mulled wine and the like all getting mixed up.  But having been annoyed at missing out last year, this time I decided to give it a go - particularly as it was such a warm dry and clear evening - just perfect.

So here are the results from the fabulous Beaconsfield Fireworks display:

Family portraits in Beaconsfield

October has been a busy busy month with several nurseries, a wedding and also a lot of portrait sessions - everyone seemed to want their photos taken over Half term which made for a busy time for me.  A couple of outdoor shoots had to be postponed due to rainy days at just the wrong time, but here are some from the studio portrait sessions:

2010 Portraits Slideshow

Here is a slideshow of some of my 2010 portraits - it covers both studio and lifestyle so a bit of a taste of the different styles of photos you can have.  Hope you enjoy it!

Studio photographs Beaconsfield

Last week I had the chance to photograph a lady only a little younger than me but substantially more photogenic.  She was a great model and we had a good session in the studio with a gorgeous (fake) fur coat amongst other things!  I bet many mothers of three wish they looked like this - next time you are at the school gate, look a little closer at what gorgeousness is hiding there:

Baby Jack

This afternoon I took photos of baby Jack at the tender age of only 12 days.  Jack's Mum Karen managed to combine the arrival of her fourth son with the launch of her business Kiddiebase - an online shopping base where you can access all sorts of baby and child related items from toys and equipment to gifts and maternity gear. See the Kiddiebase website

One of the photos will be used in a promotional article in The Guardian next week - look forward to seeing that!

Teenage photos

Becca came to me originally for some school style photos as they weren't having them done this year ... but I suggested she bring a change of clothes as well so that we could make the most of the session and get something a bit more interesting.  Here are a few of the photos from the session:

Big family photoshoot

Family visiting from abroad, a new baby and teenagers about to leave for University were all co-ordinated to get everyone together for this photoshoot that spanned three generations.  As it was quite a large group we had hoped to get some outside, but with rain pouring down we went for just the studio.  Baby Matilda was brilliant and even looked at the camera every now and then for the photos!
