Chef Boys-ar-we
By ·Evan and I made tea together today (that’s dinner for you ‘merkins. However, I must point out that the whole chef hat idea wasn’t entirely mine!
Time to dig out your Google translate tool
I was pleased to get the opportunity to work with some wonderful kids last week. In not being my kids they were actually quite happy to do whatever I asked them to do — suckers. Evan becomes a complete ham when I try to get him to do anything. Silly grins and poking out his tongue is par for the course with him these days. Of course it wasn’t all plain sailing. The youngest took some time to get used to the idea of me being around. I managed to get a few of her — bless. Here are a few of my favourites (and its about time too…apparently the kids are nagging mum to see some photos).
If you or anyone you know are interested in Children’s portraits, either in London or the southern home counties do get in touch.
The Unusual Suspects
One of my favourites of my favourites…yes, I know little’n is facing the wrong way. Kind of says a lot to me.
The Great Escape
Save the Wales
By ·This past weekend the family and I made our way to a small hamlet up an exceedingly small road north of Abergavenny. The Abergavenny of Wales that is. I was working with a few of my favourite videography friends, Sylvia and Neils from Ever After Video Productions. My role was simple…be a photographer. It was a challenge :)
Basically for 3 of the sessions of their wedding workshop weekend I was to do ‘my thing’ and the delegates had to work around me. Sounds reasonable in principle but Sylvia and Neils worked with everyone loads so I had to take some time in between shots. I suppose the good thing is that I was able to shoot some interesting behind the scenes photos of the workshop. Of course it also meant I got to shoot some interesting couple shots. What? you say…including pictures on your website from a seminar? How very dare you!!! Well, this was different. I was responsible for setting it all up, my ideas, my spaces. The ‘couple’ weren’t models but friends of Sylvia and Neils from Belgium. So I got to deal with language issues as well. So in light of that I reckon I get to post them.
I took notes
They tell me that videographers work really hard…yeah…sure…whatever
A sight that strikes fear into even the most immortal wedding photographer

Solution to smouldering groom problem
My wife was mortified to learn that this one, the one before and the one after was actually taken in our bedroom. I’m leaning over the cot to take this…
So…yes…for those following at home this is MY bed!

Home
By ·After nearly 5 days away I finally managed to make it back home. The MyVision workshop came to a conclusion last night and this morning everyone started making their way home. Well, last night isn’t entirely accurate as a large contingent of us were up until 4:30 this morning and still a few more a bit later. I hadn’t done that since university and even then only on the rarest of occasions. I think you discover a whole new threshold of tired when you have kids.
It was great to see Nicola and the kids…to remind myself of the reason I do these things…after collecting Evan from school I got the camera out.
Hope to have some new Brighton pics up next week.
