Having moved recently to beautiful Somerset, I have been delighted to meet and photograph a few local families already The Maxwell family live in the same village as me, and have a beautiful house near Hestercombe Gardens.

Their Grandmother lives in South Africa, and their mum wanted me to capture some photo’s of them all so that they could give some photo’s as a gift during her next visit.

I have to say, these kids are some of the most fun I have worked with! I was still smiling whilst editing the photo’s after the shoot! Thanks Charlotte, Jessica, and Bradley for being such good fun!

I recently had the pleasure of photographing these sisters, who were great fun!

Luckily the weather was good - the sun was out, and it was warm, so we went for a wander and got some lovely photo’s outside - which makes a change from the indoor shots i’ve been doing over the winter!

Thanks Rhianna, Caitlin, and Holly for being such brilliant models, and making it such a fun photoshoot

Happy Friday everyone!

Last but not least, here is my nephew Eddie, younger brother to George and Ava. Eddie is a real little character, as I hope you can see from this set of photographs. We had great fun on this photoshoot, and when Eddie saw me photographing George’s new Converse trainers, he had to have a feet shot too - bless him

Meet Ava, my beautiful Neice.

Ava is at that age where silly faces in front of the camera are the order of the day, and she is great fun! A real girly girl, fave colours are pink and purple, but also a bit of a tom boy I think

I am very much looking forward to her 5th birthday party later next month, when we are having a big family get together back in Somerset. No doubt the camera will be out to capture more silly faces from the birthday girl.

Here is a little set I put together, featuring my nephew, gorgeous George

George has been a willing model for me ever since I picked up my first SLR camera, when he was about one! I have never tired of photographing him - he has his mum’s beautiful big blue eyes, and such an expressive face.

He was very pleased to show off his new Converse trainers, which he bought with birthday money from his Grandma. Very cool George.

Oh, and the tunes playing on his iPod that day were mostly Rhianna as far as I remember!

I’m just back from spending a couple of days with my gorgeous Nephew’s and Niece. Realising I haven’t got too many recent photograph’s of them, I thought I would take the opportunity to capture a few while out on a walk yesterday afternoon. I couldn’t resist uploading this, as I was pleased to have captured all three of them together.

I do enjoy photographing children when they are out and about playing, and being themselves, and think you get a much better idea of their character this way, rather than with posed studio images.

George, Ava, and Eddie are such fab kids, I love them dearly. Looking forward to Ava’s 5th Birthday weekend next month!

Last weekend I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing young Ellie, a charming aspiring actress, who needed a set of headshot portraits for her portfolio. We had a really good photoshoot, capturing lots of expressions, and lots of fun!

Although the weather was not brilliant, we did venture out into the garden, and Ellie had a bit of a break from all the posing to get some fun action shots as shown here

Best of luck with your future acting career Ellie - you are a star already

A few weeks back I was invited to photograph an NCT Group that a couple of my clients are part of, and I jumped at the chance! It was lovely to join all the lovely mum’s with their gorgeous babies for a cup of tea and a chat, and to take all their photo’s of course!

All the babies were fab models and we didn’t have any tears during the individual shots. I did come up with a crazy plan to put them all down together and get a few images, but the moment the idea came out of my mouth, I knew I had just suggested chaos! We went for it though, and I did get a few cute shots - although the chaos I predicted was correct!!!

Anyway, great fun all round I hope you like the pics.

Meet Toby, a young baby I had the pleasure of meeting last year. When I arrived at Toby’s house, his Mum told me he was quite shy, and was not always very smiley around people he didn’t know... however Toby sat quite happily while I photographed him, and didn’t cry once! A very content baby, and the perfect model.

I really enjoyed capturing the interaction he had with his Dad in the picture on the left, and love his expression on the right as he is just about to break out into a smile

I am looking forward to seeing Toby again this month, and meeting some of his friends at his Mum’s NCT group - more to come on that soon!
