Natural light baby photography

I've just completed a lovely shoot with a beautiful little girl called Mia and her family. I thought I'd upload a handful of images to showcase what stunning results you can achieve with available light. As I've highlighted before, working with little people in their own environment is so much more rewarding and relaxing for all involved.

I love to photograph tiny hands and feet - babies shoot up so quickly and I think these images are such an important document of your growing child.

Rainy Weddings

With all the drizzle about today and my recent post about Mosaic Brides my mind turned to an feature from a previous edition giving some of my top tips for coping with rain on your wedding day. I had a rainy day when I got married last September and the advice I have always given to my couples was true from personal experience - rain doesn't have to ruin the day! I do remember having a minor "mourning" half hour for the loss of the summer garden vibe I'd aimed for but quickly picked myself up and got on with it... Instead of letting the rain take over - just embrace it and make it a feature in your photographs. Some of my favourite wedding images have come from rainy day weddings - the lighting is fab - and very flattering for skin tones!

I think one of the biggest worries for girls is that their dress will be ruined - my philosophy was what the heck - I'm only wearing this thing once and I'm damn well going to enjoy wearing it! My dress and shoes were annihilated by the end of the evening but with a bit of careful cleaning from my Mum they came up good as new...

Well, here's the article...which features one of my images too!

Mosaic Brides Magazine

It's always a buzz to see my images in print and I'm delighted that Mosaic Brides magazine have used a winter wedding image to complement one of their features.

The magazine is a great source of local planning ideas and the link below will take you to an online copy of the latest edition- the image is on page 13 - enjoy!
