Preparations for the Studio build

Preparations for the studio build have begun in earnest. Following months of planning and negotiations, approval has been given and the site has been cleared to allow the marking out of the new build. The sequence of photos below shows the transformation of my tidy(ish) garden into a mess! Having removed the shed last weekend, the last 3 photos show the clearance of the ground and the back wall, moving all the soil, bricks and block to the front of my house by hand, some 14 tons of waste!

Oscar's 1 Year Old

Wow, where has the year gone? I completed one of my personal projects on Friday where I have followed Oscar through his first year of life with a sequence of photos, starting at 8 days, continuing on with 3, 6, 9 months and 1 year. As always he was very happy to have his pictures taken, we started outside in the park where a couple of the shots were inspired by Kenny Martin and his Woodland Dream series, finishing with a Birthday cake that he demolished quite happily! The proud parents loved every minute despite not getting a great deal of cake.

Green Light for Garden Studio

After months and months of planning, re-planning, jumping through hoops for different council, water authorities and building control activities, as well as dealing with potential disputes, finally I have the green light to go ahead and build my Garden Studio, it won't be much but it will be mine!! Building starts in a months time, watch this space for the updates!

Baby Bump 3

I can't believe how quick these shoots keep coming around, well yes once a month, but time seems to fly by rather quickly. Here she is back for Bump shoot No3 and things are starting to show quite well!

Prom Dress Arrival

This week saw the arrival of my Daughters Prom Dress which immediately led to a photo shoot. Here is a sample of the images showing off the great dress and how my little girl has grown to be a beautiful young woman. I can't wait to see her on the evening ready for the event.
