Tweed hats, teddy ears and total randomness

My colleague Jo and I were asked to take some head shots and candid shots of our colleagues. Yeah no probs we thought, we can do that. I naively sent round an e-mail informing everyone that we’d be taking their photo on Tuesday lunch, so make sure you put your slap and best togs on. …

A wedding at the home of the Naked Gardeners

“Do you have any fluorescent socks with you?” Tim called to ask as I was enroute down the M6 to Dave and Beth’s wedding. “No, I don’t tend to wear those to weddings, what do you want them for?” “Well, do you remember I said those trousers from [well known high street men's hire store] …

Sweet Evie

A couple of weeks ago little Evie dropped by to say hello, fortunately I had been given an advance tip off and had my camera to hand. This time I managed to get this cheeky smile. Some colleagues were amazed at how clean I made the floor look, haha!

That Hat

I understand why he wears it, he burns easily in the sun. But I feel like I go on holiday with the Hat and not Tim. It’s on every holiday snap we have…the Hat goes to Istanbul, it takes in the sights at Pompeii, it shares an icecream with me in Marseille. Today it came …

Jen and Ed get Wed

Last Saturday two of my friends got married, the first of four weddings we are invited to this year, which of course has meant that I simply have HAD to buy four different dresses as there are a lot of overlap friends. Tim’s suggestion of just wearing different accessories just didn’t wash. Jen and Ed …

British Day 1

Great British Day

The people I work with are a fab bunch and lately we’ve had some events in the office to keep us sane from the ever decreasing deadlines.   The latest was British Day on Thursday to celebrate the Royal Wedding and all things British. We had cucumber sandwiches and Pimms and lemonade. Having been a bit …

Ralphie the COG

Meet Ralphie, he’s a dog, but with the personality of a cat. Surprisingly for a Crufts dog, he doesn’t come when called and he doesn’t know “go away”…not that you’d want to send his sweet little face away.   Below are a few photos I took when he came to stay with us for the …

Future memories, faces from the last few months

I love photographing people. You can always go back and take a photo of a building or an object at another time. It will still be there. With people you’re capturing a moment, an emotion that exists only for a split second…then it’s gone. This is the beauty of photography for me. Below are some …

The Ceremony

Lesley and Neil’s wedding

Back in November, Tim’s mum got married. It was a very small, relaxed day and as they were not going to hire a pro and I had the shiniest camera of the 12 guests, I was asked to take some photos.  Having only had my camera 3 months at this point I did a lot …

Tim wrapped up like an eskimo

Let it snow

Foolproof way to bring Britain to a halt: sprinkle a little bit of snow. We headed over to the barn on Boxing day. Tim is helping his mum convert it. I nipped outside to get a few snaps, but it was sooo cold I only got a couple. Yes I am nesh! Here are a …
