Another snowy shoot, this time with a touch of Christmas… / London Portrait Photographer

Snow + snowman + poinsettia + reindeer pajamas + cheeky-gorgeous C and pretty-adorable F = the perfect Christmas shoot!

Seven years ago all I had was a very cheap point and shoot that didn’t take good pictures and cost me a lot of money in developing and printing photos.

The gorgeous Lyths / London Portrait Photographer

Who says kids are difficult to photograph? J and H exceeded all expectations. They did so well, they were true angels!

Another set of twins, girls this time, and very cute! / London Portrait Photographer

I have been asked recently by a number of people how I make my images “beautiful”… “A lot of thought and hours and hours of photoshop”, I reply. They laugh.

My Mum and my kids

My kids ADORE my mum, and she adores them. Whenever my mum comes, it’s guaranteed you will hears plenty of laughter in the house. For some reason, my mum makes them laugh.
