The cat lady :D

I've always wanted a picture of me with one of my cats, so it was awesome to get a shot of me with not only 1 but 2. Its a shame the 3rd kept running out of shot :D Maybe next time we can get all three!

Sarah who is also the model - Artemis was up in Scotland last week and I was lucky enough to have her come stay with me. We had so much fun and it was nice to have another girl around the house to giggle with. I don't have many friends of my own sex and age so it was a welcome change. We didn't plan on shooting anything, it just kind of happened when we had nothing else to do.

I love the above shot, I think its because it doesn't really look like me - yet it does look like me. Strange but Sarah captured something I've not seen in a shot of me before, although I can't explain exactly what.

I was acting as a look out on Sarah and Simon Poles shoot, and while Sarah was having a quick 5 minute warm up I got up and had a little pose :D You can even see Simon in the 2nd fun shot.

I totally recommend you all to pop on over to see more of Sarahs work, not only is she a fantastic model but she is a great photographer too!

Sarah's work!

Testing and chasing the sun!

Well I was making shapes today! Hurray :D
Its been awhile since I actively thought "I'm going to try something new" - usually it just kind of happens. I rarely photograph well from behind but I actually really rather like these. I had been wanting to do these as a self portrait but don't have a tripod which will stand 15 feet in the air so I had to ask Rory to hold the camera. We tried some front on shots but with me being limited in space it wasn't working at all.

Anyway I like them, its nice to do something a little different.

We also popped out this evening (although technically now with it being 1.21am it was yesterday evening).. This location is only 5 miles away, I'm sure we will be going back. We were fighting a little with the sun, it was running away behind the hill so we didn't have much time to mess around.

First two edits are mine.. The last one is Rorys.

I love the shape in this one, so much so that I really don't mind the grass covering my face..

Came across this hold tree, I love trees which have fallen over and exposing the roots we normally don't get to see. There was a little patch of light as well as some shadows from the tree's opposite so I thought it would be worthy of a little shot..

It was actually sunny but really chilly this evening, perhaps its the last day of summer. I hope not anyway!

Woah, only just noticed this is maybe the most images I've posted from a 20 minute shoot in my life.
I'm almost done.

This is an edit I done from a shoot last weekend when we were fighting with the sun - or begging it to stay where it was and not run away from us.

From this afternoon, we have had this recent collection of hats for 2 weeks now. We actually had to ask for a bit of an extension. So I'm glad it didn't rain all day:D

I have another small set with another hat but not got round to editing any yet, and they are quite similar to the nude shots above - only with hat and clothes on rather than skin.

Time for me to be off.. Bed is calling!!

A day at the beach meets studio stuff

Well its my first day off for a few days and I have loads of new images all over my computer..
Not sure where to start though, will just upload a few from various recent shoots..
I will proberly come across or be sent better ones within the week but never mind!

I was out yesterday at the beach with David Hunt, was great fun!
Done some nudes and some clothed stuff, the weather was lovley but it was still cold and made my knees go purple. There was loads of seals all popping their heads up about 15-20 feet away from me in the water, was awesome!


Im really looking forward to seeing more from that shoot, think he used at least 2 memory cards and I didnt get home till hlf 9 at night haha!

Paul keeps sending me random images from our last week away, i dont know which ones are the best.. They are all over my computer/in my inbox ive not got around to sorting them out and putting them in the correct files. Heres a few from the long skirt set -
