A Royal Engagement....

I met the lovely Victoria and Paul at a Wedding Show back in February and as a Victoria was a friend of a friend I was thrilled when I pulled her name out of the hat for an Engagement Shoot competition I was running on the day.

They asked if they could bring their gorgeous little girl Chloe, which of course I said yes and was glad I did as she was one of the most beautiful little girls with the biggest blue eyes and wispy blonde hair I have ever seen! We decided to go to the Sandringham Estate which is a beautiful location with gorgeous grounds as well as that amazing gate! Although I couldn't stop shooting Chloe I did manage to get a few of her lovely Mummy and Daddy too!

At the end of the shoot Victoria gave me a great big hug and they both said how much they had enjoyed themselves and felt at ease in front of the camera (as a photographer this is the best kind of compliment!) We met up a couple of weeks later for a coffee and to have a look through the images which they were thrilled with and decided there and then to book me for their wedding next August! I can imagine it is going to be a fun one and I can't wait to see how big they lovely Chloe will have grown!

I had a lovely day too guys and can't wait to shoot your wedding! x

Showers and Smiles... Sneak Peek...

I had a lovely morning today photographing this beautiful family! On the way to Norwich I practically drove through a monsoon, torrential rain and a wind so strong I could feel it moving the car! I thought when I arrived I would have to turn back round but the sun came out just in time! Despite the couple of showers we had the children didn't moan once and were a total joy to shoot, confident, smiley and chatty! I had a ball and when I left the two girls gave me a great big hug and one of them said 'I don't want you to go!' - it is shoots like this that remind me how much I love my job! I shot them in their lovely garden and conservatory (between showers!) proving that you don't need a country park to get great shots here is their Sneak Peek...

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside!

So it may seem to some of you that I spend my days down at the beach, soaking up the sun, taking a few photos.... well at the moment you would be right! This will be my 4th beach shoot in the last 3 weeks! Here is the Sneak Peek of todays shoot the gorgeous, happy, little Oscar and his equally lovely Mummy and Daddy whose wedding I am shooting in September. If today is anything to go by it is going to be a lot of fun and I cannot wait to see what Oscar will be wearing! Thank you for a lovely day out in the sun...

A day at the seaside!

Many of you may know that I had a (kind of) day off this weekend! As a photographer this is fairly unheard of as most of my Lifestyle Shoots, Weddings etc take place at the weekend when people are off work or school! This happens to include my boyfriend Rob, who does the normal 9-5 thing! However this means we rarely get to spend a WHOLE day together but this weekend... we got that day. Ok, ok I didn't have the full day off but I started the day photographing an amazing art exhibition by an unbelievable artist Michael J Wiggins.

Being a photographer I am truly quite fussy when it comes to art work (you wouldn't believe I don't have a single image on my lounge wall as I am just THAT fussy!) perhaps that is what makes me a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my work! Anyway I spent an hour or so shooting the exhibition and chatting to the amazing Michael (in between his fans!) and staring mesmerized by his work. The show was opened by an fantastic character and gent, Zacron a huge artist and designer in the 60's who even designed one of Led Zeppelin's iconic album covers... check him out here. So this show was truly a pleasure to attend work or not!

These bottles are not part of the exhibition... I just loved them!

How incredible...

So after the show Rob and I headed for the first time to Southwold on the Stunning East Suffolk Coast. First stop was a local cafe that did fab bangers and mash and ice cream... yum!

So loving how quaint the cafe was I got my camera out in the cafe and started shooting the sugar, the tea pot, the jam...

I even managed to sneak one of Rob.... that he banned me posting... Shhhhhhhh!

Then a walk round Southwold, that could have stepped out of the 1950's...

But we couldn't avoid England even though we had stepped back in time!

Then down the prom and pier, bright beach huts, blue sky's and check out that Coast Guard hut!

On the pretense I was trying out new equipment I got another......Ooooops!

And we finished our afternoon by the sea with a quick piccie on timer of the two of us!! Ok so no weekends off now till October... gulp!
