This was a super little shoot where this little fellow got to smash up a big cake for the photo shoot. Everyone involved had an enormous amount of fun and a lot of squashed yummy cake. Awesome.

The Rubber Egg Shoot with the McConnells
Another lovely family photo shoot on a bright winters afternoon.
It was a bit touch and go regarding the weather as a large amount of snow had fallen across the country. The long range forecast had said that it was going to be ideal for photography for the week leading up to the actual shoot date, then at the last minute everything changed and Britain was hit by a boat load of snow. Luckily, everywhere except Yorkshire. Unlucky too in the sense that I couldn’t go sledging with my little girl, but nice that I was able to photograph these lovely people on a beautiful winters afternoon over at Cannon Hall in Barnsley.

Autumn Sunshine
This was another smashing family shoot with Dom and Gemma and family in some super late evening, autumn sunshine. It was just cracking colour in that golden hour towards the end of the days natural light. We had some fun throwing leaves around and spent some time getting these lovely family shots, before the sunshine disappeared completely.

The Carters
This was a lovely photo shoot at Bolton Abbey. It was a bright day with lots of dappled light in the shade. We had a picnic and I took a load of lovely shots of this equally lovely family. Lots of laughs and smiles. It was lovely to work with such a happy family unit.
These guys have been friend of ours for many years and it was a privilege to be asked to take their photos.

A Gathering
I recently donated a family photo shoot to the neighbourhood church in order to help with the raising of some much needed funds for projects within the local community. All donations went to auction and soon after the event I got a call from a very lovely lady called Dorothy who had bought my donation in order that she could have some photos taken with her family.
We met up and spent the best part of a late summers hazy afternoon together having a good laugh and taking some shots in and around a local beauty spot.
I love photographing people for many different reasons, not least of which the privilege of meeting some fabulous and lovely folk along the way. This photo shoot was no exception.
Dockentail Woods
Out in Dockentail Woods again. I love how all the trees in these local woods bend towards the light. The wood is situated on a slope facing southwest where the sun swings around during the day. A great example of positive phototropism. It looks like some mad wind storm blew in at some point and shoved all the trees over. The woods have a magical feel to them. I don’t think they would look out of place in some J. R. R. Tolkien imagined land somewhere in Middle Earth.
Here are some images from a photo shoot I did there recently with these two young lads. It was one of those days when the sun was out, then it was cloudy, then the sun was out, then it was cloudy, then the…etc. Managed to get some great shots with them when the cloud offered a bit of defuse light. They were both completely comfortable in front of the camera also, which made my job all the more easy.
A great place, two smashing lads, a good photo shoot.

Victoria
This is Victoria.
I love it when children are at first a little shy, then a little inquisitive, and then eventually start striking a pose in front of a camera. This is my friends little girl. She’s roughly the same age as my daughter. Both very strong characters.
