So another lockdown 😱 ... and this one feels a whole lot scarier than last time, due to the numbers of cases in the uk

I personally feel that because of Winter the next six weeks will feel a lot more hopeless. I hope not...but if that's how I’m feeling then I know others will be too.

I feel more than ever we need to care for one another. I’m here if anyone needs to talk...and I mean that.

I also feel that keeping our spirits up is going to help - so if you have children this app 'Reface', which I was introduced to by a friend, has had me in stitches and I highly recommend it.

This is myself as Uma Therman in Kill Bill. I think I suit the yellow boiler suit and bloody face 😂🤣

Just as Autumn was kicking in I managed my first family shoot of A/W with this gorgeous family. If you would love to buy the gift of a family photo shoot for someone you love you can now buy a family mini shoot voucher. Get in touch for details.

A family shoot with loved ones you've not been able to see much this year is something amazing to look forward to.

As a result i'm launching my Family Mini Shoot Gift Voucher. Please do get in touch if you're interested in buying one for a loved one.

The voucher will come in a Christmas envelope but I left off decorating it with Christmas cheer because by the time people come to redeem it it will be Jan/Feb or Spring!

I finally put together a voucher that I don't hate the look of thanks to help from the simply awesome Joanna from Web Design Near Me. Joanna helped get me on the right track with the look of the voucher.

(I dare say i'll keep tweaking the look of it but I need to get it out there now so it's in people's minds pre Christmas.)

I wonder if I could have some advice - this is my Christmas family mini shoot gift certificate - it's not doing it for me! it needs some thing but I can't put my finger on it!!

Any ideas? ??

It's been far too long since I posted on this page!

I thought I'd go with a Thursday Throwback theme with this little photo taken on an Autumn Mini shoot.

This pic is still a fave of mine and the whole backdrop of autumn leaves was simply idilic for Autumn photos.

I am currently offering special price Autumn mini shoots, while abiding my all the government covid safety rules of course.

So if your family, plus me, doesn't exceed the six people rule and you're happy to abide by the other rules then why not get in touch, because we are having an especially pretty autumn!

Family time and being outside seem more important now than ever, because looking at the rest of the country who knows when Cambridgeshire may end stick inside and no longer being able to enjoy it.

Just an FYI - My website is back up and running, it had been down for a few days. ☺️

The latest edition of Raring2go Bedford is now available online. My own contribution is on page 36 and talks about the importance of documenting your own very personal lockdown experience for future generations of your own family.

This edition is also jam packed with ideas for parents and kids of things to do during the summer holidays locally.

Something this lockdown has taught us all is about what it feels like to spend time apart from the people we love. Facetime and phonecalls are not the same.

You may have also had a reminder from your parents that the last photos they have of the grandkids are pretty dated!

So now you have the opportunity to update them with an out of doors mini-shoot that's safe for you and me.

I'll take some posed portraits but mostly chilled out, documentary style photos of you being a family together - all at a local beauty spot you favour.

Meanwhile I hide behind my camera wearing a mask to keep super safe.

Get in touch today.
