Introducing Georgia....

I love baby photography sessions and 5mth old Georgia was a treat although we did have trouble forcing a smile out of her as she is currently teething. Mind you, she is so cute that it really doesn't matter! Here are a few of my favourite pictures from the session.   

                                  

Rub a Dub Dub, a Bulldog in a Tub....

I really enjoyed a photo shoot with Phillip and John at the weekend but I'm not entirely sure that unsuspecting Katie the Bulldog enjoyed her bath (although I have been assured she always looks fed up)! Here's a sneak preview.

Tom's First Birthday....

What little cuties I photographed at the weekend with the beautiful backdrop of Croxteth Country Park in Liverpool.....and the bluebells were out!  Here's a sneak preview for Lisa and John! 

A spot of Fishing...

I had a lovely photo session with five-year old Saffron earlier this week who enjoyed a spot of fishing in the park on one of the hottest days of the year so far. Her little brother Angus was due to be on the pictures too but wasn't very well in the car on the way to the shoot so he's sitting out of shot in a pull along radio flyer and missed the shoot entirely!

American Road Trip...

Memories, memories.....I've just un-earthed a pile of pictures I took on two American road trips (well, camping trips really) in 2003 and 2004 when I was young and carefree!  I saved all year for those trips and for both I managed to get a whole three weeks off work!!! Despite using a digital camera for work, I took along my EOS 300 film camera, which is the camera I learned on (I've given up with it now as I can't get decent prints from it anymore at high street chains which is a shame). Anyway, the pictures you see have been scanned from the originals but to achieve the deep blue skies I used a circular polarizer filter which I stuck to the end of my lens and turned around to achieve the deepest blue (works best on blue skies with white clouds present).
