Thomas.

Thomas likes to chat, he likes to run, play and bounce on the bed. He doesn't like to sit still and pose to have his photograph taken so, you end up with shots like these.

I've said it before but these are my absolute favourite style of shots for kids. Just let them do their thing and be there to capture it. These 3 simple images show a little bit of Thomas' personality... One day, when he's a big boy and his face isn't quite so cheeky it'll be great to look back on these and remember just how adorably cute he was when he was nearly 2.

More of 'Little Miss Blue Eyes.'

Another favourite of mine;

Rachael.

The last time I photographed Rachael was for part of a larger family shoot. Today she came back to be the star of the show, this afternoon was all about Rachael.

I've said it before but this little girl has the most beautiful sparkly blue eyes, they are an absolute joy to photograph. She also has a lovely, cheeky little smile but today she mostly saved it for when the camera was pointed in the other direction (or for her Grandad who was watching from the wings!)

Anyway, I still managed to get some gorgeous shots of this lovely little girl, I hope her mummy and daddy are pleased with the images, it was my pleasure to take them.

Here's a tiny little taster from the day, more to follow tomorrow.


My favourite;

Halloween '08.

Today was a special day for Daniel, he attended his first Halloween party.

He was totally oblivious to what was going on around him and was not in the slightest bit interested in party food, party games or his party outfit but never mind, his mummy enjoyed it... There's plenty of time for him to become a party boy yet!!

Some snaps from the day...

Rain!

The weather has been sooo bad here recently. Usually I can put up with a little rain but it's been awful, I've had to rearrange various location shoots because of it, I really don't like rearranging, I feel as if I'm letting people down but I suppose it can't be helped.

So in the coming weeks I've got location shoots in Paisley, Byres Road and Kelvingrove so there's busy times ahead. Please, please, please stay dry.

Anyway, here's some random shots to keep you going all of which were taken in the aforementioned locations. Some of them are just for fun and others will be produced as prints for sale in the near future... Watch this space!

P.S It's my Dads' birthday today... So if you're reading this Dad, Happy Birthday, we love you. xxx

6 months.

The apple of my eye...

7th October 2008

Two years ago today I married my best friend, cheesy but true!

Two years, two houses and 1 baby later and I couldn't be happier... Life is good.
