Today marks the start of our Christmas holidays, of course I'll still be around but I may take just a little while longer than usual to respond if you email me.

I just want to wish you all a fantastic Christmas and a thoroughly healthy and happy New year.

I am sort of on holiday until the 4th of January but still available for shoots or if you are dying to book me for your 2010 wedding, I wonder how many people will receive the gift of an engagement ring from Santa this year.

I want to say a big thank you to all my friends and clients who have made my business and my life so fantastically fabulous.

Lets all hope that 2010 is even better.

£10 Photoshoots are back until 31/01/10 - Mandy Charlton, Newcastle Photographer

Yes it's that time of year again when I start to feel tingly with excitement, a time of year when I feel extra loving and giving and so from this day forth until 31/01/10 the sitting fee is reduced to a mad but wonderful £10 meaning you can get those fabulous family photographs you'll always wanted without any further delay.

For £10 you can have a family or kids photoshoot shot on location at pretty much anywhere, Jesmond Dene, Tynemouth Beach, Saltwell Park, all popular wonderous locations or perhaps you want the session to be shot in the comfort of your own home well thats not a problem either as long as you're in Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham or Northumberland.

The session will last for around an hour and it will be fun, I promise! A couple of days after the session you'll receive your very own password protected gallery for 30 days and so long as you place your order in the first 7 days you'll get 20% off all gallery prices.

if you want to take part in this magnificent offer just call me on 07918 121838 or click through to my website.
