Learning how to use your camera off auto will really step up your photography game.As a Photographer, I know my way around a camera - what all of the buttons do, what each of the functions mean, and how to change the settings to get the best results out of each and every shot.However, I appreciate that not everyone has that knowledge. For some people, learning how to take their camera of auto and switch to manual settings is an important step in ensuring they can take great photographs. That's why I also offer Photography training. I am always happy to host an in-person or virtual photography training session to help you improve your photography knowledge and skills.Learning how to use your ...

Normally my blog posts are clients (unless I can persuade the family to model!) however at the start of 2014 I was lucky to join a photographers' group - My love, My life - where the aim is for us to take some time out and to shoot images of our own children to capture our own memories :), exactly as we love to for our clients.

I am now going to create these and others from the walk into a special present for Fathers day from the children to their Daddy.So if you are looking for a gift for a Dad you know, how about a voucher for a location shoot ...
A couple of weeks ago I finally got to shoot my latest 'themed' shoot Little Madam! This one has been a few months in the planning since I saw the most gorgeous tutu skirt at a baby show. Originating from France it cried out to me for my daughter and a natural light location shoot! Missing was a pair of boots and a jacket and a young lady with attitude! My daughter can at times supply the attitude and as you can see from some of the images on the day true to form she did! That saying about not photographing children and animals did come to mind during the shoot as it is especially true for us photographers when we try to photograph our own children!The other little ...
