Mr & Mrs Mitchell - Wedding at The Albright Hussey - 31/05/2013

2013-07-15T21:34:00.001+01:00

Kim and Tim were married at The Albright Hussey in Shropshire. The day began with Kim and her daughter Nicole getting ready at the venue. Both ladies looked absolutely stunning. The boys arrived in plenty of time so I was able to get some shots of them prior to the ceremony starting.

After weeks of rain, it was a welcome surprise to see the sun shining - and it lasted all day. The happy couple were able to get married outside and following the ceremony drinks and canapés were enjoyed on the terrace.

It was lovely to see Kim and Tim smiling from ear to ear. They are obviously very happy together and very much in love. Their day was all about celebrating with family and close friends - thank you for letting me be a part of it.

Here are a small selection of the images from the day. Click on any of the photos to see them in all their glory!

2013-07-10T22:24:00.001+01:00

Louise and Sam were married at Castle Hall in Bridgnorth in early April. Following the ceremony we nipped over to the Castle gardens for some photos. It was lovely to see how excited Louise's daughters were to be bridesmaids and above all how happy Louise and Sam are together.

Lichfield Family Photography Shoot - The Walsh Family

2013-02-11T21:50:00.000+00:00

I had a fantastic morning of fun family portraits back in November with Amy and Greg and their beautiful daughters, Violet and Cecelia. We went for a stroll around Beacon Park and played in the leaves. We also spent some time in the studio to get a mix of styles and images. I have included a selection of the shots below.

Lichfield Family Photography Shoot - The Lingwood Family

2013-02-11T20:47:00.000+00:00

You may recall seeing a couple of images of the very gorgeous Ben and Matthew at the back end of last year. Mum and Dad wanted a mix of studio shots and some more natural photography out on location. The first part of our shoot was in the gardens at Shugborough Hall and then we moved to the studio for some different images. The boys were in great form on both occasions and we managed to get some lovely shots. I have attached a few of my favourites below.

2012-09-19T22:27:00.000+01:00

I spent a lovely couple of hours at Shugborough Hall on Sunday with Claire and James and their gorgeous boys. Ben and Matthew had a great time exploring the gardens and playing with Mum and Dad. I have posted a couple of images below, as a preview for Claire and James, but the rest are under wraps until they have been viewed by the family.

Alison & Ryan and Ayesha & Jamie

2012-08-30T22:56:00.000+01:00

I took advantage of a recent visit by family members to have an impromptu 20 minute photoshoot. Both couples featured below are at really exciting times in their lives. Alison and Ryan are awaiting the imminent arrival of their first child and Ayesha and Jamie celebrated their engagement just a few months ago. Although the shoot was unplanned I think that both couples look great and very much in love. Thanks guys.

Isabella Florence

2012-08-08T15:13:00.001+01:00

Isabella was a little diamond at her recent shoot. Mum Kate wanted some images of Isabella at 19 weeks old to compliment those she had taken of elder daughter Ruby when she was the same age. Isabella was full of smiles during our session and I even managed to get a couple of pictures of Kate and her husband Rob.

My gorgeous girls

2012-08-07T21:55:00.000+01:00

I've just been sorting through some images and came across these two photographs of my beautiful girls. They were taken earlier this year and they are among my favourite images of them.....

The Clayton Family

2012-05-20T21:08:00.000+01:00

Last weekend I met up with the Clayton family at Bluebell Woods. I first met Kate and Rob when they had their little girl Ruby back in 2009 as she was born around the same time as my daughters. Ruby has since been joined by Isabella who was just 15 weeks old at the time of the shoot. We took advantage of a rare dry day to explore the woodland walks and take some family pictures.

Located in the grounds of Yoxall Lodge, Bluebell Woods is open for just a few weeks each year, enough time for visitors to enjoy the glorious bluebells that carpet the ground. As we had little ones in tow we stuck to the shorter walks but longer walks of 2 1/2 miles are available for those that wish.

Bluebell Woods is now closed but for those of you wanting to visit next year, their web address is www.bluebellwoodsyoxall.co.uk.

We had a lovely morning, topped off with Sunday lunch at the local pub!

Claire

2012-05-08T21:21:00.000+01:00

When Claire arrived for her bump shoot she was not feeling the most confident about her body. With just 11 weeks to go until the arrival of her second child, Claire was hoping that a maternity shoot would help her feel better about herself and remind her that she was still attractive and sexy.

So my mission was set....to make Claire feel fantastic, to try many different looks and poses and ultimately to showcase her beautiful pregnant body.

Personally, I thought that Claire looked great. See the results of our shoot below - click on any of the images to make them bigger.

Thank you for a great shoot Claire and the very best of luck with your new addition.

Lucy and Ava

2012-04-29T13:17:00.000+01:00

At the end of March I spent a couple of days at the studios of Denton Photography in Bishop Burton near Beverley. Denton Photography is run by husband and wife team, John and Liz Denton and for the best part of the last year I have been following their Studio Development Programme. This programme aims to improve and develop your photography skills and really move your photography business forward from whatever point you may be starting from. I have found the time spent with John and Liz so far hugely valuable and I would highly recommend both this course and any of their other courses to anyone.

It was during my time with John at the end of March that I captured the images of Max, shown in my previous blog post. I also had the opportunity to photograph Lucy and her gorgeous 3 month old daughter, Ava. Lucy looked fabulous, despite giving birth just 12 weeks earlier and Ava was an absolute diamond. Here are a few of my favourites from the shoot...

Meet Max...

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours with the very lovely Max. The sun was shining and Max had a great time playing on the farm. Here are a few of my favourites...
