One of my most favourite things to do on a day off is to wander around an art gallery. I love the atmosphere, the quiet, the focus and calmness which can be found in a gallery. I often leave with my brain on over drive wanting to get creative with my camera as soon as possible however my every day work must take priority so I tend not to allow myself the time or the space to express my more quirky ideas. I have decided this should change and right now I am working on a new site to display some of this work but in the meantime until it is complete I will post some things here….
All this week I have been made busy taking pictures for other people. Today I had a day off and it was so nice to take a wander over the fields near where I live and take pictures of one of my favourite things…nature. I only took one lens as I find sometimes it is best to limit myself to just using one, it restricts me but this can be a good thing. It makes me really think about the lens and using it to the max. I love my 100mm, it’s one of my best. I make myself stop mid walk and just look, look until I see what is there right in front of me.

I have taken pictures of such weird and wonderful things recently, some personal, some private commissions and some joint ventures. From Proms and dance pics to bumps and hedgehogs! I find I don’t always have the time or permission to show all that I do as some people prefer to keep things private which is understandable. Here are some relaxed pics from The Colne Community School Prom night.
I am out most days doing wacky school photography, today I have a very husky voice reminds me a bit of Cathy Beale (Eastenders ). Too much shouting at the children in a good way of course, in order to get their attention you have to make a lot of noise and pull some weird ole faces.
If you are trying to get hold of me, please don’t be put off by my answer machine. I will pick up your call and get back to you as soon as I can…promise.
loving the top Cathy.
I spied this little fella watching me as I sat in the garden and ate my breaky this morning.
The ideal time to take new born baby pics is within the first week after about day eight they usually uncurl there bodies more and tend not to sleep as much. If you are looking to have pictures taken of your new born make sure you plan and book your new born photography session well in advance.
