My Little Brother






Some little brothers are annoying, this one is just plain cute! I was driving my own kids to school past this field everyday when I got a call asking for a shoot in a field of linseed (small blue flowers) and of course not only were they not in bloom they were also no longer subsidised by the government and so off most farmers planting schedule - ooo get me I should be on Country File! Anyway poppies in a field of rapeseed to the rescue. The thing about being a photographer is that every view is a potential backdrop!

Billie



When you are a photographer and your kids are nagging you to take some new pictures of them you really don't have any excuse!

Urbane Incidentals



Last Friday saw me in varies fields in the local area shooting bags! The brief was to get shots that would be different from your average accessories shoot and I think I succeeded, even getting the local farmer in on the act with his tractor as an accessory to the bags
Some of the range is based on the camoflage colours of the Indian Army and are great to photograph. When Urban Incidentals goes live I'll let you know. Thanks to Stuart and Rick for the commission.

Anna & Jon






The Reid Rooms in Chelmsford were the gorgeous setting for the marriage of Anna & Jon. It was a real treat for me as I got to snaffle some food and drink which was very welcome and delicious! Congratulations to the happy couple, it was a very emotional day with great speeches that had me fighting back a tear or two - not a good look for the photographer.

Sisters



Beautiful girls who made the whole process very easy for us both! I know tradition says with little girls they should be smiling and laughing all the time but we went for the mean and moody look and I think the results are great with all of them having amazing eyes. Ok, we went for laughs in the end but even super models need downtime!

Corinne & Mike

Congratulations to Corinne and Mike who had a gorgeous sunny day for their wedding at Braintree Registry Office. I hope they enjoyed their shoot in the middle of the town afterwards and thanks to the members of the wedding party who literally stopped the traffic for us!

Showmaker at Verden

Sorry I haven't posted for a long time, the reason is simple - I've been busy, busy, busy!
The following pictures are from a trip to the World Breeding Championships in Verden, Germany with my clients (and friends!) Garry and Verity. Garry had been selected to represent GBr in the 5 year old section of the young horse championship with his stallion Showmaker. Despite an arduous trip (20 hours) and having to attend to his other 'duties' before leaving home Showmaker aquitted himself well with a placing in the consolation final on Friday 3rd.
I have also had 2 weddings and a portrait shoot in the meantime so more to follow on them shortly.
