Family photos ... why do I love them? Because they stand the test of time. My photos hang on walls from Luxembourg to North Carolina, Rome to Belize ... and my mission continues: to take photos worth displaying in your home.

Happy moments, frozen in time. For you and your children. For the future generations. For friends to see on the wall. To be enjoyed in an album. To be printed, held delicately, and passed between hands - forever.

Organise a relaxed photography session with me at your home or a location you love.

Taking it back to July and THE Wedding of the year! Some sneaky film snaps I took of my friends, the Fullertons ❤️

There are some - very few - friends that remain with you through life. Wherever you are in the world, whatever’s going on, you can catch up and know nothing will ever change. Sophie is that friend - of 22 years and counting! I’m glad I got to be there on your special day, and I’m glad to call Blair my friend now, too! Legends xox

#1 Walking into the rest of their lives 🌺 I got the shot with the camera in photo 3. Timing is everything!
#2 We may have been told ‘no photos’ during the ceremony. I may not have heard. I may also have heard. I just don’t miss moments like that …
#3 I just love the lack of fear in everyone’s faces! Fuelled my jägerbombs, I was 50% drunk, and 50% caffeine. I was 100% ready.

More to follow!

Coímbra, one of my favourite cities I’ve visited in Portugal. Full of character - and interesting people, too. Some street shots to follow …

BTW, I am on the right. (Last month a lovely family from Texas thought the photographer was Adri and were surprised when we met). Didn’t need to break the ice that day, anyway!

Princes Street Gardens, August

I’ve lived my life in the vicinity … but only this year have I spent so much time in ‘the gardens’. Sit and watch the passers-by, the visitors, look up at the Castle … take photos to remember their special trip … be thankful to call this home, to have this on your doorstep.

Sit on a bench, be open to conversation … Or take a book, tune out … that’s also good. But appreciate home!

Lyson, we got the shot 💪

Meet Lyson, freestyle footballer, entertaining Edinburgh crowds this August at the Fringe.

Photo two was the first take - I thought the passerby ruined the photo but actually, I really like it! An insight into the struggles of street performance perhaps - everyone with places to go, taking with them the ‘keeper’ of their attention.

Lyson moves quick - catch him if you can. ⚽️

Stan | Royal Mile, Edinburgh | August ‘25

An author, Stan told me the title of his book ‘I Knew I’d Done Nothing Wrong’ but nothing more - ‘look it up’, he said. A kind man, you could tell. His book tells the story …

‘Amidst his grief, he set up the Cumbria Support Group for HIV and AIDS and started volunteering at Midmay Hospital in London … thus began a lifetime of volunteering, including working as a mentor in prisons, where he has helped many disaffected young men turn their lives around.’

Oh, and he used to have a menswear boutique in Penrith - of course!

Thanks Stan. ❤️
