A MODERN LONDON FAMILY

On a warm day in autumn with leaves on the ground, if you had strolled Hampstead Heath you might just have found, a boy named Isaiah with his parents in tow, tiny teeth and huge eyes with a smile soft and slow. On this very heath was where his father proposed, so we wandered and paused and stood in the glow of the sun beaming down on this family of three. Today marks five years, happy anniversary dear Lia & G!

Lia & Gerald’s wedding was one of my very first, holding their intimate wedding reception at The Haymarket Hotel with more style and understated elegance than I had ever seen before! They have since become very good friends and I was thrilled to have been asked to photograph their son, my favourite little latte, Isaiah. Hampstead Heath was a brilliant choice, with Gerald having grown up in Highgate and Lia holding this particular spot close to her heart. It is after all, where it all began.

I have quite a few family portrait sessions to blog from the past year, all shot on my beloved Contax 645. It’s so exciting shipping off rolls of film to my lab  and waiting for my film scans to be sent back.

If you are thinking of having some portraits taken and a studio isn’t your style, you can scroll through my portrait brochure here for a little more information to find out how to book a session.

Up next, I think it’s time to update the press archives.

  • A BUSY THREE WEEKS

    Here’s a sneak of what I’ve been doing over the past twenty-one days.

    Some portraits in Paris…

    Back to London for some pre-wedding photos on Columbia Road…

    A walk along the river after a wedding at St Paul’s…

    And a weekend in Portugal.

    It’s been a very busy three weeks, but the next two are a little calmer with portraits and engagements and a lot of editing to do, before a wedding very close to my heart. I’m also going to be photographing this little beauty, our very own London Bride.

  • THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY

    Mary and I first met at an event organised for wedding professionals to meet and get to know their colleagues and she had on the best hat I’d ever seen. When she asked me for a portrait session, I hoped she’d be wearing another brilliant hat. We met at a sweet little cafe for coffee and a chat and I even got to meet the charming, Samson.

    I do love this kind of portraiture and if you think you would benefit from some casual photos like these for your business or even just because, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I have some autumnal portraits to do in the upcoming weeks, but there is room for one or two more.

    I know I said something about a beautiful Swiss wedding and it is absolutely coming, I promise. I just have to get through a wedding tomorrow in Dorset and finish an edit on Sunday and then it’s up. There’s still so much editing to be done before my winter hibernation!

  • AN APRIL ESCAPE

    One week in April, we escaped to blue skies, a trip with no emails, just my husband and I. Some Arabic was learnt, pronunciation attempted, some photos were taken and our pockets were emptied. We ate and we wandered, for a few days we stayed, we were still for a moment and these memories we made.

  • LAKE COMO

    June in Lake Como is a magical place to be, to wander and take photos and absorb the sheer beauty. The water and the sunshine and peace and light abound as the lake laps to the water’s edge, which is where I could be found, with pizza and gelato and a camera in my hand as I thanked another couple for bringing me back to my homeland…
