Cups of Tea With Ethel

Last month, I went round to Ethel's house to take a photo story all about her Saturday morning.  When I first arrived at her house, she took me by the hand, sat me down, and started to recount stories about her holiday last summer.  Ethel likes to tell a good story, usually over a nice cup of tea.  Ethel's morning unfolded - playing with her toy farm, reading books, dunking buttery biscuits into steaming cups of tea, all to the soundtrack of Saturday morning tunes on the record player.  Ethel has such a sense of old world charm and style. 

This is what we love about our portrait shoots, documenting real life.  Beauty in the small things, beauty in the everyday.

Alice & the Chickens!

I've just been sent a lovely feature including some of my photos.  It's all about Alice and how she enjoys helping her Grandpa look after the chickens, something the family have done since Alice's Mum was little.  It was great to document their egg collecting ritual, and to see the feature in Your Chickens Magazine!

Elliot By The Seaside

We met Elliot last year on a windy Northumbrian beach.  Elliot likes windmills, and often pretends to be one.  He's not really into toys, but he likes lawnmowers, pressing buttons, helping with housework, and going in the loft.  When there is a bit of DIY going on in the house, he likes to help out and fix things.  He also likes to talk, and asks lots & lots of questions!  For our little shoot we had fun looking for treasures on the beach, getting sandy hands and building castles.  Maybe next time we'll see that windmill impression!
