It’s been tricky finding a dry day between the storms for outdoor photoshoots this winter, but after a couple of failed attempts I finally managed to meet up with this lovely family on a calm (and dry!) afternoon in Leigh Woods. It felt like half of Bristol were there with us, grabbing some fresh air […]
Anyone with children knows that kids love being outdoors. That’s one of the reasons why I enjoy location based family photography so much. When children are outside playing games at a place they love, they immediately relax, and either forget I am there or bring me into whatever adventure they are launching into! It’s also […]
It’s easy to forget about taking family photographs during the whirlwind of those first few weeks after you bring your newborn baby home. However, newborns develop and change so quickly and you wont regret capturing those early, precious times together as a family. I take a relaxed and informal approach to newborn photography, meeting my […]
Sometimes a sharp, corporate headshot in a brightly lit studio is just the ticket. At other times, a more informal, natural image tells a better story. I am often contacted by people looking for a natural portrait of themselves which reflects their personality, profession or a project they are working on. These have included authors, […]
I had so much fun with this lovely family at Stockhill Wood earlier this autumn.

Having recently moved into the area they quickly fell in love with this wonderful woodland high up in the Mendips, and […]
A brilliant photoshoot with this lovely family in one of our glorious Somerset forests. There is something magical about the Mendip woodlands which are so green and luxuriant they feel almost like rainforests. You never know with children this age, how long you have before they get tired, hungry or bored, so I always make […]
This was a really special photoshoot. Places where we spend time as a child are often etched deep in our memories. I used to love spending days at my grandparents’ homes and its the small details and quirky corners that I remember most. These pictures were commissioned by the children’s grandmother who had some photographs […]
We all love a summer party and as garden parties go this one was near perfection! I photographed this lovely family a few years ago, so I was delighted when they asked me back to record the celebrations for them. It was a blisteringly hot day in early summer and the garden was looking glorious […]
A few shots from a fantastic photoshoot in Bristol back in the spring. Woodlands make wonderful locations for portrait photography at any time of year. When we visited the forest was springing into life with carpets of wood anemones and the trees budding up. These girls knew the woods like the back of their hands […]
