Ryan's 1st Birthday

It was lovely to shoot for Kirstie and her son Ryan. We hung out as he explored the house and crawled his way around. Once in the studio he was always on the move and it was fun trying to keep up with him. We shot the session in a few different rooms, as I wanted to bring in different elements of lighting to the shoot.

Teresa & Brian

With Brian coming home from the Easter weekend we scheduled a pre-wedding shoot in the stunning area of Culdaff. It was lovely to meet up with Teresa and Brian, as we spent the time looking at different locations, going over a few directions for poses and getting to know each other more. I look forward to meeting up with them again in the summer for their wedding, knowing that the time spent today will help with capturing some fantastic portraits on the day.

Music - Sunstack Jones

I’m always looking for new music. At times I find myself so far into a search I’m not sure how I got there. With apps and websites such as Last.fm, Spotify, Pandora and Soundcloud, it’s become alot easier to discover something to suit your mood at any given time. Plus with having BBC6 music playing in the background your bound to hear something new and rediscover the tracks you once forgot about.

Warm Carrot, Beetroot and Walnut Salad

After having this Salad at the weekend in London, I’ve been making it every other day - trying to get it right. It’s a simple salad with Warm Carrots, Goats’ Cheese and Walnuts, but it tastes so good.

After coming off the train in Oxford Circus I proceeded to make my way through the tunnels and join the mass of people making their way up to street level. When i stood off the Train this song  Apply by Glasser came on and felt like the best soundtrack to accompany me through the crowds and to take on the busy City streets.
