The location of your shoot is as important as the styling when it comes to making your images unique

A couple of weeks ago I showed a quick edit of a motherhood session which went down pretty well so I wanted to do the same- different lighting, different shoot but with the same editing tools.

Meet H, the beautiful mother-to-be who kindly stepped in as our second maternity model on our recent Sonder Stories Retreat.

The nostalgic, film noir, soft feel of these images draws me towards the black and whites for most of these but I wanted to showcase the colour too, because… how good does she look in colour?!

I’m thinking about running an online editing course for people- Is that something you’d be interested in?

Not only are you you expected to create beautiful photos but you also have to do your accounts and bookkeeping, manage your studios, your admin, your editing, update your websites, write blogs AND be at the top of Google.

As it turned out, baby T here was a big fan of my silly, craziness and I ended up fake-sneezing and running up and down the cliffs for the majority of the shoot! 10 years of working with babies has taught me EXACTLY how to get those smiles…

I recently moved to South Devon, not far from Totnes and Exeter. Did you know though that I also travel for work? Take a look and see if I’m near you this year (or book me in for a visit)…

It’s the Holy Grail of editing isn’t it? That mythical, quick edit that means that you spend less time in front of your computer.

It’s always hard to imagine how other photographer’s run their shoots. Are you doing yours right? (FYI there is no ‘right’ way), should you be doing anything differently? My Shoot-Alongs have been some of my most popular training

It is probably one of the most frustrating parts of being self employed- making social media work for me. It was a case of fitting my emotional, romantic and nostalgic branding with those stupid dancing viral videos- they just don’t go.
