Tara & Jon's Engagement Shoot

Yeovil's best kept secret, Ninesprings, was the location for Tara and Jon's pre-wedding shoot on 14th August 2011.
Such a great place for a photo shoot - woodland walks, ponds and open grassy areas make for ample photographic opportunities and plenty of privacy.
A laid back couple who clearly adore one another; just look at those easy smiles!

Sturt family portrait shoot on location

My last commission of the year was a portrait shoot on location in Stourton, Wiltshire, on 28th December.
I love doing outdoor shoots.  The fact that they are informal enables everyone to relax and be themselves, which results in real personalities shining through - no stilted poses or forced smiles here!
As part of a large group of 15, Will Sturt led his family into the beautiful National Trust countryside and performed to perfection for the camera. The Great British Weather did little to dampen everyone's enthusiasm and, despite the drizzle, fog and cold, we spent a fun hour capturing some great images. Here are some of my favourites.  Happy New Year!
