About Me

I am a mother of three boys (three boys, being punished for my sins!) and have been a fan of photography for years. I started shooting weddings seriously about five years ago. With the arrival of my twins, I decided to reduce my working hours in order to spend more time at home with my boys. Using photography to make up for the loss of income was a natural progression.

This is where you will be able to catch regular excerpts of what I am up to...
Oliver's Speedway
August 25, 2009 // Children / Personal

Engines roared, Inspector Pano directed traffic, sweets & cupcakes were eaten and sugar levels were at an all time high. We planned Oliver's proper party for this weekend. The theme if you haven't yet gathered was "Cars".

Chocolate Milk...
August 13, 2009 // Add category / Wedding / wedding photographer / wedding photography

I have been asked quite a few times whether I handover black & white images on the final disc.

 

Well, the answer is yes, I do.

 

Basically, I play around to see what B&W treatment suits the wedding I am editing and then run a conversion on nearly every image, so that you have a colour and monotone version of the same photograph.
 

I have just finished with Simone's & Willem's wedding and thought I would post my favourites, in what I will call my Chocolate Milk B&W treatment.

Tiger Slippers
August 10, 2009 // Personal

Why you shouldn't buy those tiger slippers and instead should rather stick to plain slippers.

As tigers need to drink water. (Drinking tigers pictured on the right)
