Farmer Family with Eryn and Ruben

A couple of weeks ago one of my brides - bridesmaids contacted me to see if I could photograph her baby and also the dog (who does not like being photographed).  So on the Saturday morning I went over to one of my favourite places - Haworth to meet with the Farmer family.  Eryn is absolutely  adorable and really cute, with the most beautiful blue eyes, a really happy baby and lovely to work with.  We did some shots in the basket which she was happy in and then with Mum and Dad.  Then it was Ruben's turn, well for a dog who does not like being photographed he was a star (but bribery was involved).  It was great meeting up again Amanda and Daniel and getting to meet the ever so sweet Eryn and good old handsome Ruben.

Fay & Greg - Huddersfield Golf Club

Tomorrow I have the pleasure of photographing the lovely Fay and Greg when the get married at Huddersfield Golf Club and it is the golf clubs first civil service to be held there, so already there has been quite a lot of interest.  So a couple of weeks ago we met up at the venue to have a look around and get some great shots in the grounds, it was a lovely day even though a little chilly.  Fay and Greg are very excited about the special day which I am sure is going to be fantastic.  Really looking forward to having a great time with such a lovely couple.

Katie & Robin - Pudsey Park

After all that snow there was a promise of sunshine, however it was blowing a gale.  I met up with Katie & Robin at the church next to the park as they were having their bans read, so it gave me an opportunity to have a quick look at the location, even though I will be going to their rehearsal nearer the time of their wedding.  We ventured into the park to do the pre-wedding shoot, with a very excited couple who are looking forward to their wedding and reception at Bagden Hall.  We took some great shots in the park grounds, which is a little jewel of a place in Pudsey, with Robin and Katie quite relaxed and ready to have fun.  I am certainly looking forward to photographing them on their special day in July.

Baby shoot with Olivia Iris

It was time to meet Gemma and Steve's little cutie Olivia Iris who is about 5 months old.  She is gorgeous and was very well behaved throughout the session, with mum and dad with also Grandma.  I had photographed Gemma & Steve's wedding a few years ago, also Gemma's maternity shots.  I will also have the pleasure of shooting Olivia's christening later on this year, so I am really looking forward to that and meeting up with everybody again and off course seeing the lovely Olivia for hopefully some more cute pictures.

Aryan's 8th Birthday Party - Sublime Science - Shibden Park

Aryan is now 8.  I have photographed most of his birthday parties since he was 3 years old and was pleased to be asked to photograph his 8th at Shibden Park Cafe.  Even though Aryan birthday was earlier in the month and had to be postponed because of the bad weather, a different venue was chosen, but all his friends were there.  A lot of these children have been friends for a long time, so it was nice seeing them again and how they had grown, though I doubt that they remembered me.  Obviously, a lot more nosier and boisterous than previous parties, which had included go-karting, baby-ballet and play gym's.  More grown up was this party with a scientist from Sublime Science (guy training to be a school teacher - therefore had patience of a saint), there was all sorts of experiments with audience participation.  There was noise, air, water experiments, Static Ball, smoke bubbles and gunge,  it was actually great fun.  Making their own sherbet was great, as the sourer the concoction the more sour faces.  Later on rockets were launched outside, followed by sandwiches and cakes.  Aryan had a great time and his now contemplating what he can do for his 9th birthday.

Mum and Baby Shoot

These are a few images from an impromptu shoot, after a meeting with one of my brides and her friend.  We did a couple of shoots of Mum and Baby, using natural light against a white wall.  The little girl is beautiful, happy and very well behaved and so was her mum.
