Colchester Zoo

What a lovely day I had at Colchester Zoo yesterday.  It was a very cold day, but I wrapped up ward, and had a full day watching and photographing the animals.

Engagement

My beautiful daughter Sophie has gone and got herself engaged to a lovely young man called Edward.  Here are a few shots of the engagement ring she is so proud to be wearing.

Sophie

Hi to everyone out there.  Well its been a very long time since I've posted anything, but I've still been very busy taking photographs.  When my daughter Sophie (19) asked me to take some shots of her, how could I refuse such a willing model.  We went over to Ferry Meadows, our local country park and nature reserve.  It was a very cold day, but we got some great shots.  I hope you enjoy looking at them.

 

 

 

Montage

I'm busy looking for professional print services for my business.  I really want to step up a gear next year, so I'm looking for lots of new products and services at the moment.  I'm also busy learning lots of new techniques to make my work even better, so watch this space.

Here's just a little montage of baby Harry.  I took the photos earlier on this year, he's grown a little since then, and will be enjoying his first Christmas this year, then his first birthday the day after. 

Megan

This is my second session for yesterday. I have photographed baby Megan once before so she's a real pro now.  Her mummy wanted a photo of her wearing angel wings.  As she is now crawling around, I had to shoot quickly, and it wasn't easy capturing her in the best way to show the wings.  But I just simply love this shot, she's such lovely girl.

Ellie-Mae

This little cutie is Ellie-Mae.  I had a photo session with her yesterday and she is adorable.  Full of curiosity, 'helping' me with the setting up, discovering what's inside my prop box, and having a good time showing me how clever she is.

Thanks for looking

Newborn Shoot With Baby Thomas

Hi all.

I recently did a newborn shoot with baby Thomas.  He was just ten days old when I first met him, such a cute little bundle.  I was looking forward to my first shoot with this perfect little boy.  So taking all my 'mobile studio' over to his mummy and daddy's house, I set up and was ready to go.  After a couple of shots, Thomas decided he wanted us to all know he was ready for feeding.  So off mummy went to feed him, while I made some adjustments to my set up.  Well, when he came back with mummy, he wanted to see what all the fuss was about, and just would not go back to sleep, so I did a few more shots with him, but couldn't get exactly the shots I wanted, so eventually we called it a day.  However I agreed to return the following week to try some more.  His mummy assured me if I came a little earlier I would find him in his most restful period, where he tended to sleep more soundly....I only wish Thomas was in on the plan....Lo and behold the same pattern emerged.  He was asleep when I first arrived, but soon woke up to see what was going on...Good job I've got loads of time and patience.  I didn't get as many shots as I'd wanted, but I still got a good few.  Here are some of them:

Thank you for looking.
