The Kirkups

It's been a little while since I've published anything on my blog so I'm doing a bit of a catch up.

A few weeks a go I had the privilage of shooting the Kirkup Family.  The weather was forcast to rain but when the shoot came the sun was shinning so we took the opportunity to have the shoot outside as orginally planned.  It really makes such a difference when the weather is kind! 

Baby Ava was so cute but unfortunately wasn't her best that day, but I was able to get a few cute pictures of her!

What a lovely family, it was lovely shooting you all espcially at this exciting time for them as they now have their first grand child!

Oliver and Whitney

Huge congratulations to Oliver and Whitney on their engagement, the proposal was really sweet.  Oliver and Whitney were out for a walk and started taking photo's, Oliver had set the camera on timer and then dropped down on one knee, he got the timing spot on and caught Whitney's reaction!

Their engagement shoot was taken at Joss Bay Beach, Margate.  It was quite a cold day but they both worked through it really well.  Here are a few of my favourites.

Baby T

I had the opportunity this week to shoot my first new born, Baby T.  He is just over a week old and so very cute.  Baby T was very awake throughout the shoot - wanting to pose for the camera!  Here are my favourites.

    As you can probably tell i'm really loving the black and white edits at the moment.  I hope you like them too :)

New Techniques

I love taking pictures of my two boys but they have got to a point where they hate having their picture taken, so much so that whenever I get my camera out and point it at them they say "No Mummy!" So I wanted to try a couple of new techniques to try and capture their natural beauty. 

I was really pleased with the results, especially from Harley (above) as he is a "cheese" child and it can be difficult to get the natual smile from him.

The London England Temple

I wouldn't usually post building pictures on my blog but the London England Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is so beautiful and I was able to capture it's beauty in the recent snow that we've had here that I really wanted to share my favourite pictures with you.

Unfortunately I had problems uploading the files so I had to change the resolution to low res so the pictures are smaller than usual, but you can still see the beautiful Temple!

The Hunts Family Portrait Session

In November I had the privilage of shooting this beautiful family who are very good friends of mine.  I have been a little distracted with Christmas and New Year and shoots I have been doing this year that I forgot to blog this session.

Sometimes it can be quite difficult to get a particular shot that a family wants but thankfully I did manage it and it's great to once again please my clients.

Here are some of my favourites from the session.

As you can probably tell I really like the Black and White shots from this session.

Fun in the Snow

I haven't enjoyed this cold weather at all really but the snow is definitely very pretty.  I just had to get some shots of my son in it.  Here are my favourite ones.

It's always great to get the natural shots and so easy with Harley playing in the snow!!  He is such a cutie!  But then again I am baised!!
