Following on from the Salthouse Fashion shoot a couple of requests came in for me to take shots of Lambretta's, or S200 Specials to be exact. These things had been restored to pristine condition and looked stunning, I hope I've done them justice in the pictures.

We had a great evening recently capturing some lovely portraits of Danika and Derrie with their horses. The sun was out and some whispy clouds were in the sky which made for a great backdrop once the sun started to set....

The 19th of June saw us at the Abbey House Hotel in Barrow in Furness to photograph the wedding of Graham and Julie.

Mitra, Chip and the dress
14th August 2010 - 0 comments


Not exactly 'Trash the Dress', the latest craze from the USA where brides get their wedding dress out again and do crazy things in it, more treasure the dress in this case. Mitra loves her horses and so it seemed fitting to wear the wedding dress on a horse and capture the event for posterity.

A few shots from the session last night at Roanhead, more to come.

If you would like a similar session in a special outfit,wedding dress or maybe a prom dress then get in touch and we can arrange it.

Ashleigh's Prom Night
11th August 2010 - 0 comments


Last night was the 2010 Chetwynde School Prom and it was held at the Abbey House Hotel in Barrow in Furness. With hair and makeup complete there was just time for Ashleigh to call around to the studio for us to capture some lovely photographs of her looking beautiful, and she really did look stunning!

The pictures are ready for viewing so check them out in the Studio Portraits section of the gallery.

We get asked to do prom photo's each year so if you would like some next year then book early as we only have a short time on the evening of the prom to capture them.

Louise, mum of Grace and Isabel, arranged a lifestyle portrait shoot with me last Monday evening in a local wood where she often takes the girls for a walk. We were hoping for some colourful Bluebells but they were past there best so we simply had a fun time walking through the wood.
