Peak District Family Photography (Jane and her gang)
Jane and I had been talking about doing a shoot with her lovely family for a while, so it was great to finally get everyone together before the kids went back to school. All the kids love Longshaw, so it seemed the natural place to go, with some lovely spots for fun group shots and plenty of opportunities for adventuring and general jumping about (...

Peak District Family Photography (Blaise and the gang)
It's wonderful to be able to share family get togethers, so I was delighted to be asked to take some photos of this lovely lot – six cousins from two different countries enjoying an unexpected burst of summer sunshine. The sky was blue, the grass was long and golden and the chatter was never ending!

Peak District Family Photography (The Jacksons)
A lovely summer's evening and a lovely family shoot for Caroline, whose two sons and their families came together for a BBQ and some photos. Caroline had asked for some group shots of the whole family for her wall, but I also got some lovely shots of her beautiful grandchildren enjoying the garden and having fun!

Peak District Family Photography (Erin)
I visited one year old Erin and her mum Kathy this morning for a mini photo shoot in their sunny Hope Valley garden. Kathy's had pics of her girls taken every six months and after an unsatisfactory studio shoot experience, she wanted something a bit different this time. Erin certainly warmed up to the camera and was very keen to show me her excelle...

Peak District Newborn Photography (Esther)
It was lovely to meet 3-week-old Esther and take a few photos for her brill mum Kay. I'm going to go back for a full shoot with Esther and her big brother Toby when she's a little bit older, but I was really pleased to catch her while she's still tiny.

Peak District Family Photography (Wilfred's Christening)
What a beautiful summer's day... It was a real joy being a part of gorgeous Wilfred's christening and getting to take lots of lovely photos of lots of smiley faces. Everyone had a wonderful time and the sun shone - really shone! Thanks to Kirsty and Tommy for having me along. Here are a few of my favourite pics from the day.

Peak District Portrait Photography (Edale School Alumni)
In the last few months I've been working on a portrait project aimed at raising awareness of our little village school, taking photos of ex Edale Primary School pupils who still live in and around Edale. The subjects very kindly agreed to be photographed in the school playground, which made the photos extra special (and no doubt brought back lots o...

Peak District Family Photography (Felix, Ada, Nel and pals)
I'm looking out of the window to horizontal rain and gales, so it's hard to believe we had swimsuit temperatures last week! I went to see Amy, Andy, their brood and some family friends for a garden family shoot, only to be met with water pistols, hosepipes and some very wet children. I had a great time and got some really fun photos from their sess...

Peak District Family Photography (Laura, Duncan, Ethan and Jack)
I had a lovely time with Laura, Duncan and their brilliant boys Ethan and Jack. They might just have more Lego in their Hope Valley home than we do! Ethan showed me around their lovely garden and then we went for a stroll in the fields surrounding the house, with great views towards Win Hill. Laura is a keen photographer, so she really wanted some...

Peak District Family Photography (Emma)
Little Emma is a one-year-old ball of energy – she never stays still! We had a hilarious time trying to get her to stop for a few seconds in front of the camera, but when we did her fantastic character really shone through. And those blue eyes...

Peak District Maternity Photography (Ali + bump)
My first ever maternity photo shoot was with the lovely Ali, who's about to pop any day now. We had huge fun getting the bump out at every opportunity (including a sheep-filled field), but I think this was my favourite shot from the morning. Good luck Ali!

Peak District Family Photography (Sam + Reuben)
Sam and Reuben were very excited to show me round their lovely Hope Valley garden, which is surrounded by lovely woodland. We jumped on the trampoline, played shops in the playhouse and Reuben got ready to burn rubber on his snazzy tricycle. Love these boys.

Hertfordshire Family Photography (Kathy, Charles, Patrick + Edward)
It was great to meet Kathy and her boys at their Harpenden home and Patrick and Edward were an absolute delight to shoot. It was lovely to have such a warm and sunny spring morning to enjoy the garden (and, of course, the trampoline), but my favourite shots are of the whole family lit by natural light from the big windows inside.

Hertfordshire Family Photography (Viv, Angus + Hamish)
It's always wonderful taking photos of good friends and their families and it's always special spending time with Viv and her boys - I can't believe how quickly they're growing up. Hamish was keen to show me his rugby skills and we got some great action shots for him to show his team mates, while Angus is a stage star in the making. Lots of love x...

Hertfordshire Family Photography (Jessie, Freddie, Hugo + Isabella)
I loved this lot! We had such fun when I spent time at Jess and Freddie's lovely Harpenden home with Jess and her three children. Freddie and Hugo couldn't quite believe they were actually being told to jump on the bed, but they were soon having a right old time and I got some great photos. Little Isabella was a sweetheart and a natural in front of...
