Last Year I ran a competition on social media with the offer of a free photoshoot for one lucky winner. That winner was the lovely Jo Raine

It was great to see three generations in one shot with the stunning Bowes Museum as a backdrop, this will serve as a memory of the families time in the UK

It was a privilege to provide photography coverage of Jensen’s Christening. Now everyone, including Jensen, will be able to recall stories from such a lovely day

The first shoot of Spring and it was with the Giles Family. They’ve recently had their second child, beautiful baby Max, who is just gone 3 months old

My first shoot of the year but it wasn’t too chilly despite being early January. It just goes to show that it doesn’t need to be warm to get great natural family portraits.

This was my last shoot of the Autumn period but what a way to finish the season! It was such a great shoot with some of my favourite images of the year.

The first couple’s dog shoot for a while and it was such a laugh with some great shots to boot! Scott, Helen and Ella were all on top form (especially Ella).

The light of the setting sun was difficult to manage on occasion but when the light hit the ponies and horses just right then it was really something special!

We stumbled across the old Ford tractor that was hiding in a barn. This was a unbelievable find and a perfect symbol of a farm photoshoot.

This was one of the most enjoyable shoots I can remember. Everyone had such a great time and the kids interaction with Mum & Dad was really special.

This was the hottest day of the year, and didn’t we know it! We decided to go to Fountains Abbey for the morning to have a play in the HUGE park area.

This really was a fun shoot because little Edie never stopped smiling. Edie was constantly running around having a blast so I could just concentrate on photographing

When the snow came falling down I jumped at the chance to take some quick shots in the local park. The fun really started when we got the sledge out!

I met with Chloe and little Logan in the grounds of Bowes Museum We started at 9am with frost still on the ground and bright low light breaking through the trees.

This was one of the largest family shoots that I have done to date to give the Ferguson family some group shots for their Mum’s surprise birthday party.

This Saturday was a long time coming, we had previously scheduled it twice but with torrential rain and gale force winds ruining our plans this was third time lucky!

This Sunday was the first frosty start to a morning we’ve had for a while and I started it in the lovely grounds of the Bowes Museum with the Naylor Family.

This Weekend I met with the Eccles Family in the grounds of Bowes Museum After some quick introductions we got straight into it

This weekend me and the family decided to make the most of the nice weather. We noticed there was the annual Fire Engine & Vintage Vehicle Rally at Preston Park which sounded brilliant
