A few weeks ago one cloudy rainy morning I popped over to Walbottle to meet lovely Isabella for her first milestones shoot.

Isabella will have 4 shoots over the coming year and it's going to be so lovely to watch how she grows and progresses.




First file and we got a smile, success!



I simply love to photograph babies



having some big family love, awww



let me tell you, this little girl has just discovered her feet and loves to pop them in her mouth, wish I could do that!!

More of those gorgeous, prize winning smiles!



If you want 4 milestones shoots to watch the progress of your little one then why not give me a call on 07918 121838 or click through to my website for more details. And remember that photographs make great Christmas presents!!

The wedding of Zoe and Paul, Backworth Hall [newcastle photographer]

Zoe and Paul married in an intimate ceremony on what was the windiest day for quite some time, I certainly couldn't remember shooting on a windier day that that, luckily windy days seldom get in the way of true love, here's just a few favourites from their gallery.





This was a bit of a sneaky shot as the registry office didn't allow photography during the ceremony, I took their first kiss as a sign that it was the end of the ceremony.



Backworth Hall is the dark horse of northern wedding venues, not many people know about it but the surrounding scenery is gorgeous, it's such a dark horse that I can't even find a web link!!




a wonderful candid moment

doesn't Zoe look gorgeous?

one of my absolute favourites from the day



everyone together doing confetti and having fun!

Zoe and Paul thank you so much for sharing your day with me, I wish you a long and happy marraige.

Gaia and Andys Pre-wedding shoot [Photographer Newcastle}

a few weeks ago when the weather was warm and sunny, I went off to a nature reserve near Ryton with Gaia and Andy for their pre-wedding shoot.



I think you can see how very much in love these two lovely people are.



I can't wait for their wedding next June



The great thing about pre-wedding shoots of course is that you can bring along your doggy.



These two are sooooo happy!



Love, love, love, sweet love!

Starting off with my favourite photograph from the whole session, I think we can all feel the love here!!

Meet Rita and her gorgeous Grandchildren [Photographer Newcastle]

Rita was a recent competition winner in the July/August Issue of City Life, the prize was a photoshoot and some prints with me.

What Rita really wanted was to get some photographs of her grandchildren but I couldn't let her go away without having one with all the kids.




Her older grandchildren were quite happy to pose for a couple of shots.

whilst the youngest of the bunch just got on and did her own thing with me chasing her closely behind!!



She's a gorgeous little poppet



Discovering a leaf, the face wasn't quite so smiley when she tried to eat it!!

Meeting Baby Ava - [baby photographer newcastle]

a couple of weeks ago I was utterly delighted to go and meet Rachael and Jonathons new arrival sweet baby Ava.

Ava is actually the youngest baby I've ever photographed and what a priviledge it was.







With proud daddy Jonathon, she was only 6lb and 8oz when I met her, the teeniest baby I've ever been lucky enough to hold



I of course enjoyed lots of lovely cuddles.




With gorgeous yummy mummy Rachael



This is going to be on a big canvas and I can only imagine how amazing it's going to look.



isn't she gorgeous?



The whole lovely family together.

Rachael and Jonathan I can't wait to document Avas first special year in the world, she is gorgeous and I know that she's going to bring you both so much joy.
