Family studio session with the dog

Now I am more of a cat person really, but this family were keen to include ALL the family in the photoshoot so brought their cute little terrier along to the studio session.  He was brilliant and actually settled himself down for a sleep in the middle of the session once he'd posed for his shots!  This was a great session with lots of outfit changes and some lovely photos at the end of it.  Now just for them to decide which ones will get pride of place on their walls:

Andy and Alex's Autumn wedding

The last weekend of October was the date for Andy and Alex's wedding - the day the clocks changed, the day before Halloween, and as it turned out, the most fabulous warm and sunny day in October.  The flowers and decorations had a lovely autumn burnt orange theme that was just perfect for the season and it was a wonderful day all round with the reception at the  The Compleat Anger, Marlow  - a beautiful riverside location.  It was so warm that guests did even mill about outside enjoying the view for a while.

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!
