Janine Rocking her Frock!

Today I had the huge pleasure of shooting the beautiful Janine in a Rock the Frock extravaganza! Janine is actually a fellow photographer whom I met on a photography course and although lives over an hour away upon chatting last week we realised that she was planning a trip to Norfolk at the weekend! So this morning (although a little bit grey and threatening rain) we set off to a location I had been longing to shoot at for ever! Both chatting photography and bouncing ideas off each other we had a ball and although Janine was getting a wee bit cold toward the end I could have shot her all day! Believe it or not Janine got married 7 years ago and has since had no less than 4, yes 4, children! I can't believe she even fits in her dress never mind still looks so damn hot in it! Here she is at one of the grungier locations we choose working it!

Thanks for being up for quite literally ANYTHING Janine I had such a fantastic time x

Anna & Richard... Sneak Peek

Today saw my 2nd Engagement Shoot of the year and it was another fantastic one! I met the gorgeous Anna and Richard at beautiful Norwich Cathedral mid afternoon with a grey overcast sky looking like the heavens might open! We started in the grounds of the Cathedral (in anticipation of the rain) and got some beautiful shots under the cloisters (yes Richard I remembered what they were called!) This couple were so much fun and up for anything which I love about them including sitting pretty much anywhere and lying on the cold stone floor (sorry Anna!) There were so many potential Sneak Peeks to choose from but I have decided to tease them (and you) with this one. I love the slightly mischievous look on Anna's face and how Richard is kissing her head they just look so in love!

The sun did come out and we have some gorgeous golden lit shots as the sun was going down but they are for a later post!

Thank you for being such great sports guys and I look forward to showing you the rest in a couple of weeks. x

Sneak Peek... Winter Sunshine

Yesterday afternoon saw my first shoot of 2011! This lovely couple decided to have their shoot at the gorgeous Eaton Park in Norwich somewhere that they had regularly used as a meeting and date location when they first met! Caroline was super nervous but soon got in to it and we got some lovely romantic shots of the two of them in the gorgeous low winter sunshine. This was one of my favorite shots so I thought to celebrate the sunshine I would make this their sneak peek. Rikki is a keen and talented photographer himself so I hope this is up to his standards.

Thanks for making my first 2011 shoot so much fun guys and I look forward to seeing you soon.

50 Faves to make you smile...

Looking back through 2010 I cannot believe what an amazing year I had! In fact it went by so quickly I got to September and still couldn't believe we had gone past March! It has been emotional, as they say, but also fun, busy, exhausting and enlightening! I learnt so much my brain was overflowing and I came out of the year with a new address book full of clients who had become friends and an array of new clients booked in for 2011.

I said my thank yous in my last post so this is really to show what 2010 looked like for me... through my favorite photographs. I have decided to call this my 50 faves, some are in there because I am so proud of the beauty my camera has captured, some are included because I am always in awe of the love my gorgeous clients share and some are in there because they are just down right fun!

I hope you like my selection, there were hundreds more I could have put in as 50 doesn't even cover the number of shoots I did but these are the images that make me smile every time I look at them... and I hope you will too...

A huge thank you to all my brides, grooms, and little people for being so much fun and making it so easy to take beautiful images of - I hope to see you all in 2011! x
