Digital backdrops
You can now buy my digital backdrops through my website. They provide versatility to galleries for newborn photographers starting out - that haven't yet acquired lots of backgrounds and props.
There and back again
There and back again So my last post was a bit traumatic. I wrote it, I lived it and I never want to revisit it. A few months on and I am much stronger. Life is still challenging as I am doing dialysis four times a day and sometimes its painful, sometimes its gruelling and
Getting better – in kidney failure
This is a blog post that has been so hard to write. There were a couple of occasions over the past few months when I didn’t know if I was going to be here to write it. Every time I thought I was getting better there was another twist and subsequent turn that meant I
Health and photography
Importance of health and my love of photography Fyi, this is more of a personal post, but it does talk about both my health and photography. Last night, was a long night. I was up at 2am and then 4am, which in itself is nothing unusual for me. But, last night as well as

Timelapse Video, newborn shoot, youtube So, I made a timelapse video of one of my newborn shoots. It’s funny seeing me on the video! But I wanted to give an idea of how it looks during the shoot. You can see me shooting away and you can then (at the end) see the finished pictures.
Sebastian’s Newborn Photo Shoot
I have photographed the lovely Osment family for the past four years. Their first shoot was a newborn shoot with their daughter Amelie. Sebastian is their newest arrival and I have just had the pleasure of shooting Sebastian’s newborn photo shoot. Sebastian was born early, so his shoot was much later than usual. But he
