ANITA

I spent a lovely day in London photographing Anita who had flown over from The Netherlands for a portrait session. We were treated to some beautiful December sun as we pottered around Westminster, along The Thames and then in to Victoria Park.

THE WIND

May the wind blow warm upon your face - a little boudoir session at sunset is sure to lift the soul.

AN ENGAGEMENT IN TUSCANY

The gorgeous Guida and Rick and their engagement shoot at Villa Cetinale in Tuscany during the Villa Workshop. Sweet, cheeky, sexy and smouldering all wrapped in one beautiful shoot.

BEACH BUMS

I can't believe it's October and we're still enjoying the beach every weekend. This long Summer has been wonderful. I do wonder whether that means another very cold Winter and Spring though. Time to stockpile some wood for the fires!

LUCY AND HER MENAGERIE

These prints have just gone out to Lucy wrapped in antique lace and leather and bound in the prettiest pink silk ribbon. This was such a great day and I now have a newfound love for donkeys :0)

ROBERT & RACHEL

Is there anything so pretty as a poppy field in July?

Donkey Cuddles; A Preview

A little sneak peek of a portrait session with Lucy and her menagerie. I adored this pair of beautiful donkeys.

Francis Firebrace

This portrait of Francis Firebrace is the first in a new series I am exploring on the art of storytelling. It's an art that I've long been fascinated with and I'm always drawn to people who can tell a good story (perhaps because I'm so bad at it). A great story can inspire, be thought-provoking or teach a lesson - for me, the most significant ones usually have a moral element at their core.

I've become more interested in storytelling since I gave birth to my son Zeus. He loves books (as I did) and I am learning how to tell him stories in an engaging way that sometimes feels alien to me. Right now I'm sticking to books but I hope I'll have the imagination to tell him grand, epic fables full of characters dreamed up in my thoughts.

Each portrait for this will be accompanied by an audio clip of the subject telling a story. Francis is an aboriginal storyteller who travels the world relaying the tales of his father's people. He captured my attention some time ago and we have been in contact ever since. You can read more about him here.
