Album eye candy – baby Tom
Here’s a finished client album to have a nose at.
It’s an 8×8″ Finao black leather album – these are fab albums and perfect for portrait shoots. This particular album uses a very minimalistic one photo per page, on a white background with a black keyline. You see a narrow black border (the base page) around the edges which pulls everything together really nicely. It works especially well for my penchance for black and white baby photography.
Northampton wedding venue shoot at Kelmarsh Hall
Kelmarsh Hall is one of Northamptonshire’s finest wedding venues and I love it there. It’s a dream venue for a wedding photographer as there are so many gorgeous spots to use for photographs. The interior architecture and backgrounds are really interesting with lots of lovely natural light. The gardens are beautiful too.
As a recommended photographer at Kelmarsh I was asked along to create some photographs for their new wedding brochure. I spent a day shooting, but honestly, I could have spent two! There really is so much to work with.
Above, the view as you arrive.
The Great Hall is the first room you see as you enter the Hall and wow, what an entrance! It’s very elegant with Italian pink walls and beautiful plasterwork detailing on the walls and ceiling.
The Ballroom is used for wedding breakfasts and has amazing views over the lake.
The Chinese room has the most delightful wallpaper and trinkets. I had great fun looking at all the little scenes in the wallpaper.
The library is full of lovely details too. I particularly liked the hidden door handle in the false door.
The staircase is really something else with the large window, gorgeous chandelier and mirrors.
If you’re looking for a wedding venue I’d highly recommend Kelmarsh Hall. It’s just stunning.

Baby photography: Lola
Lola was two weeks old and really teeny tiny when I photographed her. She was so at ease and content during the shoot which is one of the reasons why I like to do baby photography at my clients’ homes – it makes everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. Unusually for a new-born Lola was awake for most of the session and very alert. She was really inquisitive about the camera and seemed to love being photographed. Here are some of my favourite photos of baby Lola and her very proud parents, Nick and Danielle.
Baby photography: Freya
This is Freya! Freya is just 3 months and an absolute doll; all tiny and gorgeous. She’s started smiling now so it was fun and games getting her to smile for some photos!
Some of you may recognise her Mum, Lauren, who runs The Bridal Gallery Finedon – a designer wedding dress boutique. If you haven’t organised your dress yet you have to visit.
Brooksby Hall wedding: Ian & Laura
I had a fab time photographing Ian and Laura’s wedding. It was very much the winter wedding with a venue full of snowdrops and a really misty, atmospheric day. The venue, Brooksby Hall, has the most beautiful grounds so Carole (my second shooter for the day) and I had great fun there. Laura looked as stylish as ever in a gorgeous ivory gown with little flower details on the bodice and rope spaghetti straps, a beautiful tulip bouquet and THE most perfect pair of red shoes.
