Buscot Charity Auction
I’ve recently teamed up with Anna Fry at Buscot Charity Auction to help them raise funds.
I’ve agreed to donate a voucher worth £100 for the sum of just £15. The £15 will go direct to the charity and you can pay directly by visiting the website above. Anna will then send me your details and booking information will be sent to you.
The £100 voucher will entitle you to a portrait session (worth £25) of your family, baby, children, pet…and also includes a credit of £75 to go towards portraits which start from £60.
Please help in this very worthwhile cause. Rob Wilson, our local MP, is actively involved as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMROdMAZqYU

April favourites – location and pet portraits
Here are some of my favourites from April. You can see quite a few are taken outdoors. Not only does the better weather allow this but we are building a small outdoor set at the back of the studio.This means we can quickly add more choice and variety to each session. Not only that but some young children can sometimes feel a little intimidated in a studio. Once they are outside they often relax and become themselves. It is also great for pet portraits as well.
March favourites
Below are some of my favourite shots from March. As the weather becomes warmer I have started to do a few outdoor shots which you can see below.
At the back of our studio we have a large garden as well as an old shed which we have painted and tidied up. This is an excellent area to take portraits and the light is soft and directional.
A lot of children and toddlers can sometimes feel a little intimidated in a studio situation with large flashing lights. So this can prove to be a useful alternative.
