I love this photo taken in Brentwood, California (1977) with me in front of my dad wanting him to take me for a ride in his new car. Boy did I love cruising in that car!  Next to us is my cousin Anthony who was visiting from the UK. Great memories!

A few snap shots I took a few days ago before our morning walk. Camera used Canon 5D Mark II, lens Canon 70-200 2.8 IS and location was the bedroom with natural light coming through a large window.

Thursday I headed up to Manchester to visit Brett Harkness. I was invited by Brett and Kristie to attend one of their wedding portfolio days as a guest. I will be interviewing Brett in the near future so I was interested in seeing what he is doing on the education side of things. To keep a long story short, if you are a professional photographer in need of some inspiration or somebody just starting out, these courses are awesome. The day is action packed with Brett and Kristie sharing everything you need to know to take your photography and business skills to the next level. As Brett says, “I believe in straight talking, having fun and sharing as much as I can with other photographers on our courses. I will tell you what you need to know in order to make your businesses and your photographic ‘eye’ & skills grow”

It was a great day and I was definitely inspired. The delegates all said they had a great time and will be back for more. A big thank you to my new friends Brett and Kristie for inviting me to their beautiful studio. Your passion and enthusiasm is awesome. Below are a few images I took, a big thank you to the models who were rockin’ it up.

I try to take 3-5 workshops a year for inspirational purposes and to see how other professionals work. As you know, photography is something you are constantly learning and know matter how long you have been a professional photographer you should always be wanting to learn more and more in order to be the best creative artist you can be. Next year I’m hoping to make it to Paris to attend the Jerry Ghionis intensive workshop. Loving it!

A few recent photos of baby Jake and mum. Hopefully in the next month we will all be in the studio having our family photos taken. He is the coolest little dude on the planet and changing so much everyday. Time now to take him for a long walk and then come home and make salmon cream pasta. Hope everybody is having a nice weekend.

Wedding Photography Nottingham

Today, I received a thank you card from Nick and Sam, which made my day. It made me feel so good I thought I would share it with you. I photographed their beautiful wedding last month in Epperstone village and at Woodborough Hall in Nottinghamshire.

“Words cannot adequately express our gratitude for everything you did to create the magical images of our special day. People should not ask themselves whether they can afford to have you take their wedding pictures; they should ask whether they can afford not to!”

Thank you so much Nick and Sam for everything, it was a pleasure to photograph your special day. The best thing about it all is that I made two new friends. No wait three, I can’t forget Lottie.
