birthdays, babies and weddings

the past week or so has been incredibly busy for me, i've had a milestone birthday and finally hit the big 3-0, which went very well and i'm feeling rather positive about it!

i photographed a newborn girl a few days ago who was just adorable, little Ella is just 10 days old <3








friday i had an engagement shoot, saturday i had a wedding shoot which went very well (photos will be uploaded when i get round to editing them!) and tomorrow i am working with a professional nude model who i admire very much so its exciting times!

we gonna party like its ma birthday!

so i am 30 today (8th of may) and although i have been incredibly apprehensive about it, now that its here i feel awesome :)

things are looking up, i think i am glad to leave my awkward, depressive, debt-filled, uncertain younger years behind me, its all falling into place now and i couldnt be happier :D

so, random shots from the past couple of months that you might not have seen!

cakes, tea and burlesque

yesterday we went to a burlesque picnic at skipton castle :) My friend and very talented burlesque performer Heather Sweet was hosting it, and a lovely day was had by all.

Burlesque and Pin-Up style photography is something i enjoy very much and it was lovey to meet some girls i didnt know already and exchange details, hopefully something fruitful will come of it!

experimenting with my babies

yesterday i bought a couple of white sheets and opened my curtains as wide as possible and played with the kids on the bed. ethan wriggles far too much, cue lots of diving across the bed by me and mia to catch him before disaster ensued!









this one is ethans '80's steroid wrestler face' according to ste :)

and the results of ethan getting hold of a pen, unbeknownst to me! so cute :)


so i'm having a lovely, fun filled weekend, what are you up to?

Nathan and Holly

my first official wedding of this year, Nathan and Holly made me so welcome from the very beginning. A strapping, handsome groom with a beautiful, glowing bride, its definitely one of my favourite weddings so far.

thank you both for allowing me to be there on your special day!
