It is not always about the face in commercial kid photography; especially kid fashion. It is a different type of job with a dual client (the designer and their customer) and that means you mustn’t shoot everything like it is a portrait session. When you are just starting out, often it is your own children, the children [...]

So we took the opportunity to celebrate the now with an impromptu sea swim before the kids went to bed. And here I sit just a few hours later appreciating then with photos before I turn in for the night myself. The sea, my family and photos…all my deepest loves. All taken with the Minox and [...]

Sometimes I begin to feel my work get stagnant like the shallow water in our neglected baby pool. I hesitate to get into my photography when it is like that.

Our time there included personal fittings with the head of the wardrobe department, Jennifer McKenzie! She is a busy lady with hundreds of thousands (literally) of costumes to make, mend and manage.

Second grade started today with new faces and a change of uniform. It is so hard to leave the friends we had at her ex-school, but this is the right thing for Gemma. We thought we needed structure, but now we need to let her spirit grow free! Photos taken with my gorgeous little [...]

It is true, I have an Android phone and still post some of my “phone-tos” to Instagram. The reason I do this is, for over a year now the majority of my phone shots went into a Facebook album where no one but friends could see them and no prints or magnets or books or fun things [...]
