Another Leo, new born portrait session

May 25, 2016  •  Leave a Comment
Not long after I had finished editing my best mates little guy, Leo, a lovely couple got in touch regarding a new born photoshoot. He hadn't arrived yet so I had plenty of time to plan the photoshoot. Infact I kept getting given more time as he was over a week late and we pushed the photoshoot back twice! Leo was amazing on the day though, sleepin...

Every now and again I decide to mix things up and test out new techniques and play with a few ideas that have been going around in my head. This time I wanted to try out some dramatic dog portraits. Firstly I had to grab a willing test subject. Thank fully my mum has the most well trained dog I've ever known, but also the most nuts and completely...

Family fun in Spring

April 07, 2016  •  Leave a Comment
Apart from Autumn, Spring is my next favourite time of year to photograph. Good job I had the Hayne's family booked in for some fun over in York. Making the most of the early Daffodils we captured some beautiful memories. Made even more memorable as it was close to Peter's 1st birthday. He'd just started to learn to walk and absolutely loved his h...

Last weekend I had the opportunity to photograph one of my oldest friends new arrival. This was their first child and the first in our friends group to have a baby. So everyone was super excited, including the wife who is getting more broody with every second. Leo however has got to be one of the best behaved babies I've photographed. He slept pre...

How to get a dog to sit still

February 29, 2016  •  Leave a Comment
Want to know the secret to a well behaved, still dog? TREATS. Last year I photographed Toby; a very smart, well tempered and loving dog. Armed with a bag of treats and the following phrases "sit", "lay", "stay", "good boy" I was able to produce some beautiful portraits for my clients. Here are some of my favourites.

Planned in just 5 weeks

December 11, 2015  •  4 Comments
Jemma and Stu’s wedding had got to be one of the coldest wedding’s I’ve photographed, but then again it was the middle of November. Set against a beautiful clear blue sky and the reception at Oakwood Hall, the day was perfect. Highlight of the day had to be the bestmen's (yes plural) speeches. I think the photos represent how well they went down....

Laura and Alex, Weetwood Hall, Friday 13th

December 02, 2015  •  Leave a Comment
Not one of the best days for a wedding when storm 'Barney' rolled in, high winds and horizontal rain. The venue (Weetwood Hall) however was lovely though, so great photos were easily achieved. Laura and Alex had a great day and their son definitely stole the show. Here are some of favourites from the day.

Watch them grow

November 17, 2015  •  1 Comment
A while ago I was approached by Andy and Martina to capture their gorgeous little girl grow throughout the years. I was incredibly honoured to be chosen to capture such an event. As this was my first time doing such a massive task I took my time creating a package that they'd hopefully be pleased with; 1 photoshoot every 6 months (with prints) unti...

Married after 30 year's together

November 10, 2015  •  Leave a Comment
I was approached by Yvonne and Ray back in August to photograph their wedding, they'd been together for 30 years before Ray decided to propose. How he proposed was great though, sending Yvonne a picture message of him on one knee. They chose Weetwood Hall in Leeds for their wedding venue, the trees turning in September made it a very beautiful loc...

Photographing Your Best Mate

October 02, 2015  •  Leave a Comment
While building up a portfolio I managed to get my best mate to agree to a couple photoshoot with his good lady. Having known each other for over 10 years, you'd think this would be an easy task, no! I think there was more banter from him than me. Although it was easy to get both of them to smile naturally and laugh, some of the techniques I've now...
