My first newborn socially distanced photoshoot
Gorgeous Theo was born during lockdown and we did this shoot just after lockdown had eased. I went to there house, we we shot this in the bedroom by a window with lots of natural light and it was perfect. It was very easy to social distance and I wore a mask and didn’t touch Theo. It was a completely natural unposed newborn shoot and the photos are simply beautiful.

A French fairy tale wedding
As a photographer a destination wedding is the dream job! A place very special to me to shoot a wedding is France, as I got married here myself 5 years ago.

When I got asked to photograph a wedding at Chateau St Julien I was so excited, as this was my other venue I had been torn between when deciding

Timeless newborn photography
For me, newborn portraits should be simple. There is nothing more timeless than classic black and white photography. I think black and white images are really stylish and contemporary. They look great in any room of the house and make a statement.
Californian orange poppy field photoshoot
During week 10 of lockdown I stumbled upon this amazing wild Californian poppy field. What a find and perfect for family wild flower photoshoots. May is definitely a magical session, as I’ve found so many gorgeous locations.
My first social distancing family photoshoot
I did my first social distancing family photoshoot last week and it was very successful, the photographs are beautiful. I wanted to try it out to see if it could be a possibility to get back to work at some point. To make the most of the bluebells I chose a stunning location between Chipperfield & Sarratt WD4. Its a stunning wild bluebell woods, with lots of fallen trees, beautiful paths and wild garlic. I love it and actually only found this location during lockdown on our family walks.

Bluebell family photoshoot tips
The end of April & the start of May is a very busy time for me! Spring has arrived and now the bluebells are out in their full glory! I absolutely love family bluebell photoshoots but unfortunately this year due to this awful coronavirus pandemic life has temporally been put on hold. I live in Chipperfield, Kings Langley, Hertfordshire and all of my photography sessions take place locally so I’ve still got to enjoy these magical woods with my family. I’d like to share some tips for both budding photographers and future clients.
Family photography tips for lockdown
During this strange time whilst we are all on lockdown, my daily highlight is our family exercise. Every day we walk over to Chipperfield Woods and explore. Chipperfield Woods is one of my favourite locations for family shoots but I have to admit there are two areas which I use for these shoots. Having all this extra time we’ve explored everywhere and I have found so many new wonderful locations. I always take my phone with me as it’s so light compared to my big camera and have been taking lots of photos of the girls.
My top tips are…
A natural passion for photography
Spring mini shoots in Whippendale woods, Watford. Bluebell mini shoots in Chorleywood, Chesham, Berkhamsted & The Ashridge Estate. Lavender mini shoots at Hitchin Lavender Farm. Wildflower shoots in Amersham, Chipperfield & Abbott’s Langley. Autumn Mini Shoots in Chipperfield, Amersham, Gerrards Cross, Potters Bar & St Albans.
