​Little Einsteins Childcare
This November I attended the lovely setting of Little Einsteins, its a family run childminders which has a lovely feel to the envirnonment. I had an arrangement to go along and take the Children's Portraits.
​
I met some lovely children that day and what a bunch of characters they are too, I think they made me smile more than themselves. The staff where great to work along side too they were very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable which helped to create some lovely photographs.
​
I hope to see them all again soon and create some more lovely photographs.

​Lots of Twins for My Delight
Last year I had the great pleasure of working with these two beautiful identical twin girls. Their names are Mia-Jae and Layla-Rae, it took me a while to remember who was who but now I know. We captured some of the most cutest photograph's. It was a very exciting shoot as twins in the studio are very rare, I enjoyed every minute. More Recently I had the another pair of Twins in the studio. A friend of mine gave birth to twin baby girls just 3 weeks ago Olivia-Mae and Freya-Rose and I had the great honour of photographing them, the shoot lasted longer than intended due to me not being able to stop cuddling them inbetween shots!! Look out for there images across the website, they simply make your heart melt.
I can't wait till the next set of Twins is in the Studio!!!
The Rings with a Mini feel!!

​Ring Case with a Difference
Recently I did a Wedding for the lovely couple Mr and Mrs Howarth.
Bride to be Lindsey loves Mini Coopers and was stuck for an idea of how her 18 month old Page Boy/Nephew would be able to carry the Rings down the isle, without dropping them. After weeks of brainstorming, she came up with this fabulous and original idea! Josh loves toy cars and once he has hold of one he never lets it go. So Lindsey decided to put her Wedding Rings inside 2 toy cars for Josh to carry. These couldn't be any toy cars they had to be Miniture Mini's!! When she showed me on the Day I thought it was so cute and well thought of, and with no surprise Josh carried out his duties with no hick ups!!

​Birthday Boy Photoshoot
On Tuesday I had a fun time with Little Birthday Boy Rowan, we managed to cover the Studio in Chocolate Cake between the pair of us! Rowan had turned 1 and he was at the perfect age to do a Cake Smash shoot, he said for ages just playing with the icing and licking his fingers. The tidying up at the end was worth it when I looked through the images before editing :)

​Breast Cancer Photoshoot
I was approached back in August by a Young Lady called Elizabeth Vickers. She had an idea to raise money for a great cause 'Breakthrough for Breast Cancer' she is an amazing Woman who has inspired us all! I simply said I was in before knowing the details. I didn't care, Breast Cancer has affected someone close to me, and someone close to my friends. I know nearly everyone I know has been affected themselves or someone they are close too has been affected. Also being a Woman myself, I could also be affected in the future, so I am doing this Photoshoot for EVERY WOMAN out there :)
The Photoshoot is on 27th October, it won't be taking place in the Studio but a location that is secret until the Photographs are to be revealed ... ohhh all secretive!!
There are 26 Ladies in total, and I may too even bare my bits and join in, after all it is for Charity.
** Calenders will be on Sale in the Studio from Mid-November, get yours not only are they one offs they are Unique and raising Money for the Breast, oopps Best Cause!! **

I was approached by a regular customer of mine, Vikki Smedley. She has had her Photographs taken at Memorable Moments twice and has booked in again for November. Vikki wanted to know if there was anything I could donate towards to Raffle on the Night, I offered several prizes and also asked if I could attend the Evening along with my Camera to capture some special moments for Luca and his Family.
Since then I haven't stopped thinking about this brave little boy, Luca is only 5 years old and is fighting a rare form of Cancer called 'Alveolar Rhabdyosarcoma'. His Parent regularly update us on his progress and share Photographs with all those concerend and I must say he is always smiling.
Luca is truely inspirational and a credit to his Family!

Twin's suffer from Dravet Syndrome
Three Year Old Twins Darcie and Evie Chapman suffer from a rare form of Epilepsy called 'Dravet Syndrome'. This condition affects mainly motor skills and speech, Darcie and Evie cannot walk yet and cannot say many words.
I had the Girls in the Studio earlier this week and I completely fell in love, I am a friend to their Grandmother and I always enjoy listening to the wonderful stories about the girls, and looking at their pictures. When Sue came to me to book the Girls in for their Portrait I instantly became excited, I mean who wouldn't look forward to spending the morning with these two gorgeous delights! Well the Photoshoot was a complete success as anticipated and they were moments from the day that I will always remember. Evie loved the Camera, I mean loved it so much that she tried to sit on my knee and look at me through bottom end of the lens. Darcie was a much cooler character she sat and posed away for hours, she thoroughly enjoyed herself with the props and toys.
What is Dravet Syndrome??
Imagine how hard it is living with a syndrome that nobody knows about ... uncontrollable seizures, behavioural and development delays, speech issues, sensory disorder, sleep difficulties, balance issues, increased risk of SUDEP
(Sudden Unexplained Death in Epliepsy)
rare and catastrophic epilepsy, regression, diminshed quality of life, feeding tubes, ataxia, reduced life expentancy .... well this is Dravet Syndrome.
You can donate to the Foundation @ http://www.justgiving.com/dravetsyndromeuk/Donate

​Tot Tot's Childcare
This November I attended the lovely setting of TotTot's Childcare in Prestwich, its a Family run Private Childminders owned by Angela Dunbar and her Daughters. I had been recommneded to them by Little Einstein's Childcare who I did this time last year. I had an arrangement to go along and take the Children's Portraits.
​
I met Angela and both her Daughters Lindsay and Laura, the whol setting has a loving and welcoming feel to it. I also met all the children in cluding 3 of Angela's Grandsons, all 3 have such a unique character. They made me giggle for a change as they were themselves with each other.
​
I hope to see them all again soon and create some more lovely photographs.

​Uniformed and Standing Tall
I spent this Remembrance Day watching my very grown up Cousin wear his Uniform and Poppy with Pride.
He attended his first Remembrance parade and took every minute of the day in his stride. He looked very handsome in his perfectly ironed Uniforme, freshly polished Boots and his Baret equipped with the vital Bright Red Poppy.
I snapped away whilst holding back tears of pride

I'm sure for those who know Me, youyr aware the Royal Navy has been a big part of my life over the past 4 years. I will admit I was a little ignorant to the Forces, until I met the most amazing person ever, My Partner Jamie!!
Jamie was in the Navy when we met and since then I have discovered what amazing work the Armed Forces do for our country. My Father in Law served many years in the Royal Navy from the age of sixteen and my recently returned from a long 8 month deployment.
When I was approached by Bill and asked if I would donate my services for a Charity Event in complete support for the Armed Forces, I felt so privaledged and wanted to make my family so proud of me that I didn't hold back on replying yes!!
Charity Evening is on Friday 13th December from 7:o0pm, it will be held at Farnworth Veterans Club

​My turn to Model
Last week I agreed to work one of the best MUA I know, Charlotte Cardwell. She asked me to help her create a Bridal look for a small Photoshoot, I was immediately excited but soon became nervous when I was informed that I atctually going to be the Model and not the Photographer!!
I instantly got the butterflies and my confidence lies with my Lens and well without I lose my security. I didn't let this stop me however as I wanted to put myself in your posisition, I wanted to know how it felt to stand in front of this great big lens and have someone tell me how to stand, look and pose.
Charlotte was amazing and made me look Fabulous, I knew she would make me look lovely but never imagined quite I would look that great.​
​I throughly enjoyed the whole experience and, from this I will soon be provided a Makeover Photoshoot, where Hair where you too can feel a million dollars!!!
