Last weekend I was invited to photograph a big birthday for a special lady.

Just loved how the venue was styled. Flowers by Stemtation (Henley)

It's been an exceptionally busy couple of months, I am so grateful.

I will be taking most of next week off for half term, so please forgive me if emails take longer to reply to than usual.

Also there is a phone mast down in the area so I have NO phone signal at all (until atleast Friday) x

Looking forward to exhibiting at The Herb Farm Christmas market in two weeks.

As well as the most glorious gift shop, and lovely cafe, you’ll find over 30 local crafts, artisan, gift businesses under the Polly tunnels.

Food & drink, artwork, cards, jewellery, home ware, candles and much more.

This will be my 12th time exhibiting & sssshhh happens to be my favourite one to be at.

I’ll have examples of my work on display, as well as gift vouchers available for family portraits, and photography lessons, and some prints available to purchase.

Well behaved dogs and their well behaved owners welcome 🤣

I fell in love today.

This absolutely gorgeous boy was a nice surprise on today's brand shoot.

He was such a good boy, and helped model in a few photos.
I was photographing a local craftsman today. Exceptionally talented and stunning products.

We were in his barn in a woodland, nestled on the edge of a private estate.

I can't wait to get editing the whole gallery and send it over... and then look forward to sharing some images, because if you are local and love interiors / home ware - You are going to LOVE these.

This handsome four legged boy, nearly came home in my car today (although it was packed to the brim) with props, houseplants, throws, cushions, diffusers, lamps, cushions and my whole mobile photography studio... so he would have been a big squished, lol.

A surprise 90th birthday, afternoon tea and a table surrounded by nearest and dearest. What a lovely way to start the week!

On Monday, I had the pleasure of photographing this very special celebration at the stunning Danesfield House Hotel and Spa near Marlow.

Goodness me, my feet are barely touching the ground at the moment! I’m so grateful for the work, the variety and the lovely occasions I’m invited to capture. This afternoon tea was a particularly precious one.

And the birthday lady? Looking absolutely fabulous and a good decade younger! Such a joy to see her taking everything in at her own pace and enjoying being surrounded by loved ones.

Beautiful flowers by Henley Florist and Flower School added to the pretty table, with delicious afternoon tea, conversation and hospitality delivered at its finest.

There is something so special about bringing loved ones together like this. Time to catch up, share stories and celebrate someone who means so much to everyone around the table.

A lovely afternoon to be part of, and memories for the family to treasure. 💛

Tonight I am photographing a 60th birthday party and tomorrow morning, looking forward to the first Autumn woodland family portrait of the season.

The early starts. The flour-covered aprons. The final check before a plate leaves the kitchen. The warm welcome when you walk through the door. 💛

On World Food Day, I’d love to give a little appreciation to the people behind our food.

The growers and producers, artisan makers, chefs, event caterers, kitchen teams and front of house teams who put so much care into what they do.

Here around Henley, Reading and across Oxfordshire and Berkshire, we have so much talent on our doorstep.

As a passionate foodie, with a background in food marketing, photographing this world is an absolute joy. The ingredients, the textures, the creativity… and especially the people bringing it all together.

World Food Day also reminds us how much food matters, and that access to good, nourishing food cannot be taken for granted.

To everyone growing, making, cooking and serving with care — thank you.

And if you’re a local food or hospitality business, I’d love to help you show the care behind your offering, from beautiful dishes to the faces your customers know and love.

The fog cleared, the sun shone, and Sonning Common turned out in style! ☀️🏃‍♀️📸

Huge congratulations to Cate and Tom, fellow primary school parents Sonning Common Primary School and race directors and their brilliant team of volunteers on another successful, beautifully organised Sonning Common 10K this morning.

Events like this take an army of people, with so much planning and hard work behind the scenes. What a fabulous community event, raising valuable funds through the PTA for Sonning Common Primary School.

In the photograph of the tree, you can see the school’s newly laid running track in the background, which funds raised by the Sonning Common 10K have helped make possible. A lovely reminder of the difference this event makes.

Everyone returned safely, including 90-year-old veteran Tom, pictured in green. You put me to shame, sir!

I was also proud and delighted to see so many of my fitness pals from Frost Functional Training / CrossFit in Sonning Common taking part. Sorry I couldn’t join you , someone had to take the photographs… 😉😂

A big thank you to Becky from Raise the Bar for getting everyone warmed up before the race, and to Sonning Common First Responders, who always do such a wonderful job.

Well done to everyone who ran, volunteered, cheered or helped make it happen. What a morning! xx

Always a pleasure to support community events.

Now excuse me while I retreat to the sofa with a cuppa… the back-to-school lurgy appears to have found our house. Send chocolates and tissues. 🤧

Memory...popped up....

Super blood moon - 29.9.2015 (3.30am)

It was quite a spectacular sight.... and difficult to capture.

Last Thursday, I was invited to speak to Wokingham Camera Club about food photography. I shared some of my work and tips, then did a live demo, talking through how I plan a shoot and choose the styling, backdrops, crockery, lighting and lenses.

I’ve photographed a lot of food over the years, but standing up in front of around 50 people to explain how I do it? Still nerve-racking! I spent ages preparing my presentation and was rather restless on the day.

I needn’t have worried. I was given the warmest welcome, enjoyed some brilliant conversations and questions, and received the loveliest emails from members the following day. Thank you, Wokingham Camera Club, for having me and for getting my humour!

And yes, the brownie and macaron featured in the demo made it home with me. I thought the nerves might have helped me lose weight, but the late-night car journey snacks probably cancelled that out. Oink, oink.....

Now THIS is how you do a confetti shot! 🎉🌸

It was such a pleasure to photograph the wonderful C & J last weekend.

We’d had a rather amusing video call in the lead-up to their wedding, something I always think is so important. It gives us a chance to put faces to names, chat through the plans, answer any last-minute questions and, hopefully, help everyone feel relaxed before the big day.

We gelled straight away and there were plenty of laughs… which continued throughout the wedding!

And then I arrived at Hotel du Vin, WOW. The reception room looked absolutely stunning. The beautiful floral tablescape was incredible, and just look at that bouquet.

It was a wonderfully intimate wedding with their closest friends and family, and you could really feel the love in the room.

And as for the confetti… sometimes less is more. This was NOT one of those occasions! 😂 More is definitely more when it comes to a fabulous confetti photograph.

Later, I whisked the newlyweds away for a short walk along the river for some couple portraits. They were such good sports, humoured all my ideas and we laughed our way through the photographs.

We even had passing cars beeping their horns and people calling out their congratulations, I always love that part!

C & J, wishing you both so much continued happiness and many, many adventures together.

Thank you for trusting me to capture such a special day.

Now to get stuck into editing the rest of your gallery… I can't wait.
