The Williams/Tilley family at home

After shooting for Anna and Darren during Anna's pregnancy I'd been looking forward to their newborn shoot. I had a plan! I wanted to shoot a few images that were similar to the previous pregnancy images we'd shot and highlight the transition from bump too baby. The concept worked well... see the fist two shots below. Felix is the first Grandchild ...

Family photos by the river

The Moore family live riverside so the banks of the river was where we chose to do their family shoot. I like to shoot in locations that mean something to the people in the photos, telling a story about them. It's also a lot easier to get everyone to relax if they are somewhere familiar. The focus for this shoot was ...

Capturing Faith and the Swindley family on the special occasions of Faith's Debutante Ball was the second shoot I did when I visited my home town of Home Hill recently.

There was no way that beloved family member, Frank the sausage dog was going to be left at home.  He also had a ball playing with the kids! It ...

The Lyon/Hull extended family – 2018

This is the third time I've documented the Lyon/Hull extended family. The first shoot was done 5 years ago and in that time the kids have grown from toddlers to teens. It's important to document a family every few years because when people say 'they grow so fast' they certainly aren't kidding. You can see their other shoots here and again here. ...

the gift of gratitude this christmas

Over the years, when I deliver people their photos I often ask them how the images make them feel. The most common answer - GRATEFUL! Having photos taken to document the relationships that are special to you is an act of gratitude. It's taking a moment to look at and reflect on what is most important in your life - the people ...
