Camilla & Lexie in The Studio

This is the third session I have done with Millie and the second with Lexie – both had Newborn Portrait sessions and this time Mum wanted some sister shots, so back to our Sturmister Newton studio’s in Dorset they came. Lexie wasn’t very happy, just getting to that stage of awareness but we soon had her laughing thanks to big sister Millie. Here are a couple of favourites from the session.

Out in Folkestone

I had SUCH a great time with Georgia and her friends for the shoot last Thursday in Folkestone in Kent, it was just great to be able to try some new things. Being 17/18, they are far too old for the more usual Family Fun stuff, and wanted something a lot edgier. I was only too happy to oblige! Taking my inspiration from a lot of the new scene of Seniors lifestyle photography in the US, it was brilliant to be able to really work with the girls to create what they wanted. They had prepared brilliantly, had really thought about their outfits, and really helped make the most of the all-day session.
These are some of my favourite shots of the girls – some more location stuff coming later (I know they’re just itching to see SOMETHING!.

Cameron, Joe, Toby – Win Green Dorset

Went for a wander this weekend with the boys to one of our favourite spots, Win Green just outside Shaftesbury in Dorset. Its the highest point in the area and on a clear day you can see for miles around. It was a beautiful sunny winter day and not wanting to waste this rare occasion we set off for a good few hours. Now there is a track known as the Sheep Drove ( for fairly obvious reasons) which runs from Win Green right along a ridge line for about 20 or so miles ending in the city of Salisbury in Wiltshire. We weren’t attempting to go that far today, might be just a bit too much for small legs! But a few miles would be good. After about twenty minutes or so we came across this burnt out car – a real eye sore in such a beautiful spot – but a perfect opportunity for me to get some great shots of the boys. The juxtaposition of the very urban burnt out car wreck with the stunning and serene Dorset countryside made for some very eye-catching shots.
