Another bike shoot, this time for Paul with his fantastic customised Yamaha. This super-cool machine has made me wish for one of my own!!! Jodie and Keith

Jodie and Keith's gorgeous wedding reception took place at the Castle Hotel in Windsor. As we were travelling through Windsor we decided to stop off at the river for some of the Bride and Groom shots. We attracted rather a lot of attention - not least from the swans! Motorcycle Portraits!

Fun and games were had by all recently - trying to fit two Harley Davidsons into the studio for a portrait shoot with a difference!

John and Arlene Stevens, who are Thames Valley Vultures, Centre 12 of the Virago Star Owners Club, approached me with the idea of photographing them with their beloved bikes. We decided to do both a studio session and a location shoot, using the exterior of an old barn, as this was a whole new experience for me, and I was really looking forward to experimenting with which type of shoot works best for this style of photography.
The old barn gave the images a vintage, rustic feel and the added texture of the old wooden cladding gave the shots a really edgy feel, which I felt was perfect for this shoot, and this brilliantly down-to-earth couple!
I really enjoyed the shoot, and John and Arlene loved the results! I'm now looking forward to doing lots more of these shoots for the other members of the Vultures, with a view to creating a fantastic yearbook later in 2008.
Toddler Group Shoot

I spent a wonderful day with the gorgeous children of the Elizabeth Hall Toddler Group, getting shots of the children outside in the Autumn leaves.
Jo had asked me along to do something different from the usual 'cloudy blue background' shots the parents had grown a little weary of seeing.

The kids had a fantastic time outdoors on a lovely November day, and I think you'll agree the results are full of life!
The parents were delighted with their images, and I after the success of this shoot I certainly intend to get lots more toddler groups and nurseries on board in 2008!
