Its rare for people to feel relaxed in front of a camera so over the years I have learnt ways to help them relax.Nothing too posed– well unless if a styled shoot that I want to achieve that look in. still prefer them with natural light though. That’s why my clients know me a photographer who loves natural light all be it outside on location or at their homes, in the lounge or nursery.Why I changed from studio work to locationYears ago, when I was studying on my photography course my main aim was to ...
Over the years something that has always been important to me is to friendships. I enjoy that fact that they can occur sometimes when least expected and that they are not necessarily with people your own age.Meeting new people can be hard and I never was one of the popular ones at school – more like the third tagger on – trying to please and be liked. To be honest I am sure I was annoying! but I just wanted to fit in and belong somewhere and did not realise that is a guaranteed way to put people off. As I grew older, I was the helpful one - babysat and helped out at Brownies and then Guides, did my Duke of Edinburgh award to Gold (yes, I did get ...

Making memories One of the things we always enjoy about Christmas is putting up the tree! I always admire people whose trees and decorations are all co-ordinated colour wise – it looks grown up. Our tree on the other hand is a complete mis match of colours and items! I love to collect a new decoration each Christmas from somewhere special we have been as a family and of course each year the children bring home new decorations made at school or their after-school activities.Each year we talk about the decorations and where each came from to the kids.
