Flashing, pushing and getting uncomfortable…
Last week I spent two wonderful days at Photography Farm Elements in Birmingham. Day one was dedicated to demystifying flash with Adam Bronkhorst. It's so easy to just ignore and avoid using flash, but I know I need to push myself to get better. To be the best...
Baby Sinead
At just three months old, Sinead is kicking out with so much personality. It always surprises me just how quickly little humans become individuals in their own right. They have their likes, their dislikes and those little looks that are just so unique to them....

Wooden boxes
Last year I tried out a few different ways of giving people their edited digital photos. Online galleries are great for convenience, but I felt like something was missing when an email with a link was all I sent... call me old school, but I still like the idea of...
Emma Case Wedding Photography Workshop
Last week I wrote quite a personal post about how Emma Case's wedding workshop opened my eyes to why I value photography so much. It took quite a bit of courage to put that post out there, but I'm so glad I did. The response reminded me that actually most people are...
Finding my why…
Just before Christmas Ideas Tap and Emma Case got together to offer 10 lucky peeps a wedding photography workshop. I literally dropped all my Christmas shopping when I found out I'd got a place... having admired Emma's approach to wedding photography for a while now,...
