A fun session with the lovely Sandy in Putnoe Woods, Bedford – my last of 2011. She was a trooper for smiling through the freezing wind!

I worked briefly with Mum Sumra a couple of years ago, so I was right chuffed to have a chance to see her again, and to meet her new family!



See you next time…

Gotta love a Father and Son who really dig each other…



See you next time…

It didn’t take much to get a smile from this little face!

I’ve just updated my teenage portrait sessions to include a brand new package called ‘Friend me on Facebook’.
This mini-package is exclusively available for teenagers who ‘like’ or become a fan of my Facebook page.
It is £25.00 and includes 1 free watermarked image for use on Facebook profiles.
Please help me spread the word – if you are, or you know a teenager on Facebook who fancies being digitally immortalised (or just wants to show off a model-style profile pic to their friends), ‘like’ or ‘become a fan’ of my Facebook page, and drop me a message!

Until next time…
Michelle
The eyes definitely have it!

I just realised that it’s been almost 2 years since I started my ’52 Faces’ project. Where has the time gone?!
The project was fun, I met many new faces and reconnected with some old ones, and the whole project concluded with my releasing the images as a book. Interested in a copy? Click here…
Anyhoo, I thought I’d feature some images from the project over the next few weeks, starting with one of my favourites…
Stu Bradley aka BobbyFlash (visit his website here)

P.S.: This year is my hubby’s first Father’s Day. He says not to make a fuss, but I’m not a good listener…
Happy New Year!
OK, my greeting comes a little bit late but I’ve been off on maternity leave so it’s been a fair while since I’ve posted on here. I’ll post some images of our own little munchkin soon.
I’ll be back to shooting again soon, but in the meantime, I’ll be posting some favourite images from my ‘back catalogue’. I hope you’ll enjoy them. Here goes…
I had a blast photographing these fun siblings of possibly the friendliest family I’ve ever met.
Until next time…
