Sneak preview – photographic art installation

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

I was so excited this week to get a sneak preview of a collection of my photographic art which will be on permanent display at the Lane End Conference Centre. This residential venue is set in 26 acres of tranquil Buckinghamshire countryside that boasts extensive conference and sports and leisure facilities and is an ideal place for meetings and team events. The venue’s sales and marketing director, Heni Fourie, had commissioned me at the end of last year to take photographs in the grounds of the Conference Centre with the aim of building a body of images to be displayed as a collection of art in the newly refurbished lounge area and dining room.

It was a wonderful challenge to create inspiring and colourful images featuring elements of the buildings, the environment and life at the venue in the depths of winter…the kind of challenge which I fully embrace!

The finishing touches for the artwork were skillfully completed by local framer Alex from Bespoke Framing who did a wonderful job of framing each photograph. It was a pleasure to meet him and work with him on this project.

I was delighted to see the images in the dining room installed and looking great as an eclectic collection. The photographs in the coffee lounge area were in the process of  being hung when I was there and I can’t wait to see the finished rooms!

Once all the renovations are complete, I will return to take some images of the refurbished rooms and keep you posted with an update. Lx

BIPP South East Region Awards 2011

Thursday, December 15th, 2011

Last week I attended the British Institute of Professional Photographers (BIPP) South East Region Awards 2011 which were held at Tattershall Castle on the Victoria Embankment, London. It was the most glorious bright and crisp sunny winter’s day with fabulous views over the river Thames just across from the London Eye - a wonderful setting. The competition attracts entries from professional members from the  South East region in a range of categories.

I was delighted to achieve recognition for two of my images in two categories – I was awarded  a silver award for my ‘Bed’ image in the abstract/illustrative category and a merit award for my portrait of Natalya in the People & Portraiture category. See all the award winning images here Lx

Love, life and growing up….the moments we love

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011


I have a number of clients who invite me back into their lives every year to record their journey together as a family. As their photographer I feel extremely honored to be asked to record those special moments which become a family treasure.

Here are a few of my favourites.

Love Grand Central Station. Lx

Chester Update

Monday, August 1st, 2011

Wow I can not believe that it is August already, the months have just whizzed by so far this year!

I have had a fun and busy time working these last 6 months or so since my last blog with one of the highlights being a commission which took place in Monte Carlo in March. It was a lot of fun with a great team and in such a beautiful place! Now that I am winding down somewhat for the summer holidays, I am going to be updating my blog with images that I have been extremely lax in editing and posting.

I am starting with the gorgeous Chester Dog who is now almost 10 months old and still as adorable as the day we brought him home only a lot bigger!  He has these funny looking lanky legs and big paws at the moment that he will grow in to and is very funny often having us in stitches. He has done the Andrex puppy trick when he was about 12 weeks old, pinching the toilet paper from the downstairs bathroom and running through the house with it before from sitting down and getting great satisfaction from shredding it. One of the funniest things he does is picking up Harrison’s scrum cap and walking around with it. The cap completely covers his head and he can not see where he is going and so he ends up walking in to the walls and furniture…..at least we know his head is protected! However, his cutest habit has to be insisting on carrying his own lead when we approach our house after a walk. As soon as we come out of the woods and we have him safely across the road, he takes his lead in his mouth and runs home down the drive to the house… very cute..Lx

Meet Chester

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

I have been a little preoccupied lately with the new addition to our family.

Meet Chester, the gorgeous black labrador puppy.

Chester arrived just before Christmas and has been a little furry black energetic bundle of joy! This is our first family pet and we are all madly in love with him.

He is named after Chester Williams best known as the star winger of the South Africa national Springbok team that won the 1995 Rugby World Cup against New Zealand and was nicknamed “The Black Pearl” ….. yes you guessed it, I am married to a South African (and huge rugby fan).

We picked him up in the heavy snowfall aged 7 weeks. Here are a few images of Chester’s first days with us. Lx

Do you dream in colour?

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

I had a wonderful trip to New York City at the end of last month and I am only just getting around to editing some images. Before going to the big apple, I landed in New Jersey and spent the next day in Princeton just exploring this fabulous town before meeting up with a dear old friend of mine in the afternoon. We figured out that it had been 11 years since we last saw each other which is just incredible and she still looks exactly the same! We only just scratched the surface really with catching up but she will be visiting the UK next summer when we will be getting together and I have promised to photograph her with her family – can’t wait!

What does this have to do with dreaming in colour I hear you ask. Well, even though it was the end of the Fall season, the colours were still amazing! Here are some images of the foliage which I took. I am a huge fan of B&W photography but  this has really inspired me to consider the colours that surround us. I’ll be starting my personal project photographing colour in my everyday life and will be posting my images each week as ‘Colour of the week.’

Keep posted for this and more images of Princeton and NYC.

In the meantime here are my beautiful colours of Fall. I am not sure if I dream in colour or not but I hope I do. Lx.

Teenage Photoshoot Birthday Party

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

I had the pleasure of photographing Ella and her friends for her birthday party at Hughenden Manor at the end of October. It was such a beautiful time of year and a glorious day. The colours were wonderfully rich and we had lots of fun playing  with the leaves that had cascaded from the trees. I always take individual images of all the girls as well as a selection of group shots. Here are some of my favourite images. Lx

Teenage Party Photoshoot in Berkshire

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

It was a pleasure to photograph Holly and her friends last month at Stoke Park in Berkshire – such a lovely mix of personalities and a great group of friends and a beautiful venue. The girls stayed on for afternoon tea afterwards – perfect! Lx
