Ruby Anniversary at West Ham Park | London Portrait Photographer
When a couple celebrates forty years of being married, that is one incredible achievement.
L & C’s wedding at The Penridge | London Wedding Photographer
I first met C when I photographed an event at her Church. She’s struck me as a gracious and beautiful girl, both inside and out. When we walked into the venue, we were greeted by a handsome young man – L.
Stunning wedding at Syon House, Syon Park | London Wedding Photographer
To date, this is one of the most stunning locations I have ever shot a wedding in. Syon Park is a bride’s dream. Amazing to think that it has been and still is the home of the Duke of Northumberland for over 400 years.
The T family @ Canary Wharf | London Portrait Photographer
The T family requested a shoot to remember Canary Wharf by, where they have set up home, before they set off to the lush countryside. It was a windy day but the sun was out and we had some beautiful light, befitting a beautiful family.
Back to School | London Children Photographer
For a few weeks now, I’ve been thinking about this shoot. Another mini-project, with my usual models. Somehow this shoot never made it beyond being an idea. Until today.
Martin & Lynne’s Wedding @ St. Andrew’s | London Wedding Photographer
Martin and Lynne’s wedding was very special. Not only because they are such an amazing young couple, but also because it means a lot to me too – personally. I have known Lynne and her family for 12 years when Lynne and her three brothers {each well over 6ft tall} were at that time only small children and a whole lot shorter than me!
D & G Maternity Session | London Maternity Photographer
As cliche as it sounds, one of the most life-changing things that can happen to a person, {imo}, is having a baby. The expecting stage is always a mixture of emotions: exciting, daunting, special.
Baby L | London Newborn Photographer
Such a special little girl. So hoped for, so wanted, so loved. Now she is here. At 9 days young.
The M family | London Family Photographer
Ah what’s sweeter than the smell of newborns… Here’s beautiful baby Z with her adorable big brother and doting parents…
The Tuckers @ Greenwich Park | London Family Photographer
More on the lovely Tuckers, this time, the second part of the shoot – fun, casual, energetic, lifestyle…
First Birthday Party @ Docklands Gymboree | London Children Photographer
When I first met these adorable twinsies, they fit in one Moses basket. Now at a whopping whole ONE year old, it’s a job trying to catch them! Two energetic crawlers,cruisers, walkers. Happy birthday H & M!
The F family at West Ham Park | London Family Photographer
For nearly a year now, Thursday has become a special day. It breaks the punishing school run rush, the constant looking at the clock, the mundane chores, the one too many un-home-made lunches and generally the busy-ness of life as a ‘mum of three’ ‘wife to one’ me.
My new bio page | London Portrait Photographer
I have not been in front of the camera for what feels like forever. The camera seems to prefer me to be behind it rather than in front of it. I cannot agree with the camera more – it must be said!
A Legoland Adventure: an alternative view | London Portrait Photographer
Welcome back me, to my blog! I am soooo behind with blogging. It’s been a busy summer and I have sessions both to blog and never to blog! Plus photos of my family’s little breaks here and there and days out – it’s the summer holidays after all. I needed a mini-project for myself to keep inspiration and freshness up for the next hectic months.
Wedding by The Gherkin @ St Helen’s: Jonathan and Emma | London Wedding Photographer
Since I started getting paid to take photos, both friends and my website have always acted as my ‘agents’. My clients contact me, they book me, we meet, I take the photos. Always. Until now.
J & E’s Engagement session @ Hampton Court Palace | London Wedding Photographer
One word. Awesome.
{awesome couple + awesome place = awesome photos}
Princess Diana’s Memorial Playground, The Green Parent Magazine and my photo | London Portrait Photographer
It’s nothing big. But it’s my first. And it’s a photo of my son.
Summer tea party mini-photosession @ Stepney City Farm | London Portrait Photographer
It might have been the perfect venue for a summer photo-shoot, except that on the day itself, it didn’t just rain, it poured. But we didn’t let this dampen our excitement!
Summer Tea Party Family Portrait Session with NCT @ Stepney City Farm | London Family Photographer
I’m so excited to start my first project with Tower Hamlets NCT this Saturday 16th July. It’s a special mini-session themed “Summer Tea Party” styled with a touch of vintage. Bring on the buntings, home-made cakes, refreshing drinks and special goodies! It’ll be fun-tastic!
