Friday night confessionals

Post photo shoot meanderings through town

After a wonderful proposal photo session along the South Bank, I wandered up to Trafalgar Square and through Soho to The Photographers Gallery - did you know its free entry after 5pm Friday!!!???

Two fantastic exhibitions are on right now here, Chris Killip and An Alternative History of Photography

I LOVED both - both absolute tonics for the soul and Chris's work really landed within my heart. His connection with his sitters/friends/places he encountered was breath taking, thought provoking, warm and worth another visit or two :-)

Check them out if you can x

Friday night confessionals…..

So happy to share this cute surprise proposal! Soft tones of beach time in late August/early September in Dorset

There were SO many special, thoughtful touches in the lead up to this moment - I've known Danni and Mark for a couple years, and so when March asked me to photograph this moment I was smiling from ear to ear and so excited! Although keeping it a secret from our friendship group was tough!!!

Danni has special childhood memories of Dorset and her favourite place to be is right here on Portland so it was Marks first choice when deciding where to pop the question and get down on one knee.

The weather was perfect, it was also Dannis birthday and I was hiding behind rocks to avoid being seen!

Tuesday morning reflections

The joy in the morning walk, time spent in nature and new magical discoveries

Gosh what a few sunny autumn days it’s been, back at luscious long morning walks, research visits to Wisley + 3 exhibitions at The Victoria & Albert Museum!!

This summer…….

September has rolled around and autumn is nipping slightly at the days beginnings and ends, whilst the glow of August lingers a little.

I gleefully always seem to be on catch up, on the back foot when it comes to sharing and posting photo work and jobs and berating myself for not posting in a timely manner or at all.

Its not that i dont want to, often i am caught between waiting for clients to post first then i share OR another reality which happened last night. I got home from a fabulous full days shoot, downloaded my images, checked them over, imported them to Lightroom and fell into bed. Knowing I had to drive 3 hours to a glorious destination today for a photo session tomorrow.

I'd love to pretend I have all these people, all these teams doing all the things that ensure smooth sailing of a small business but it's not, it's all me and if I'm knackered and dribbling then it's best I step away from a screen, put myself to bed and gear up for the next day. I'm certain you understand and it really helps saying it out loud.

So a snippet, shared from the gram of a recent epic 2.5 hour session in London with wonderful Lisa Berkovitz. Finding the light, the joy and the moments, laughter, positivity and connection….more on the gram, or here or both. Here's to a happy September x

Soo excited to share this gorgeous session

Courtney + Heather flew to London from NYC and got engaged during their visit!!

We had the best time capturing their engagement pictures around the pretty streets of Notting Hill.

Still....here!!! :-)

I finally discovered that my Mac operating system isn’t supporting square space anymore and that’s the reason I haven’t been able to see my images and so post anything…..I have circumnavigated the problem and things will change!! More images incoming :-)

When film processing…..

goes wrong, get’s caught BUT produces some interesting effects.

As an interim measure I’m sharing this fail of film photography which I actually feel is quite beautiful despite being chewed up through the processing machine!!

So as I leave you with this………know they’ll be more posts and updates coming sooN! HURRAH

Happy Summer Solstice everyone xx
