Sorry I’ve not been around recently but things have been pretty hectic here. I took the the last few weeks off to finish renovating our house in preparation for the arrival of our baby boy. He was born on 23rd December at Birmingham Women’s Hospital, came home on Christmas day and weighed in at a ‘healthy’ 9lbs 1oz. He also has great hair.
Please say hello to Milo.
I LOVE newborn baby feet…….but I couldn’t eat a whole one….
He has two feet, this is the other one 
I’m taking another couple of weeks off while we settle in to life with a baby but between feeds, changes and cuddles I hope to be finalising my plans for 2009…it’s all very exciting!
Happy New Year!
I was in Bristol a couple of weeks ago for a promo shoot with DJ Nick Warren. I’ve worked with Nick on quite a few of his Global Underground albums and always have a good time when I’m invited down there. This time was no exception and it was really nice to go down and take some pictures.
The shoot was spread over 2 days so there was plenty of time to try a few different locations as well as catch up and have some grub. It was Nick’s birthday on the second day so we all headed up to Ministry of Sound for Nick’s GU album launch party, a few drinks and a few more pictures…..and a few more drinks.
Here’s a few of my favorites….
So, I don’t know about you but I’m freezing. We’ve got the builders in for stage 2 of ‘Operation get house finished before baby arrives’ and the door has been open for most of the day. The cold weather combined with all the banging and dust has made me a little miserable. Perhaps that’s why I got so excited when I stumbled upon our honeymoon pictures this afternoon. Fond memories of a much quieter and warmer time.
Don’t panic! I’m not about to bore you with all our holiday snaps. I just thought some of these were pretty cool and deserved a little blog love. So, first to Rome where Sara made me read Dan Brown’s ‘Angels & Demons’. This made it a very exciting place for me indeed.
C’mon, there had to be one…..
After a hectic but brilliant week in Rome we braved the long and winding roads to Positano on the Amalfi coast. We stayed at Casa Angelina, a beautiful and very white hotel with a stunning view of the coast.
Told you it was white! And this was the stunning view from our balcony…
I feel better now. Back to editing….
Right, I’m back! Two weeks ago I suffered massive hard drive failure and I just got all my data back this afternoon. You can read all the gory details here if you’re interested.
Anyway, I’ve got quite a bit of catching up to do work wise so I might not have anything new to post for a week or so. With this in mind I thought I’d leave you with some images from a big retouching job I recently did for my good pal Carlos Amoedo.
All the images were shot for a big fashion editorial in the latest issue of Orlando Magazine.
Here’s some of my favorites from the inside spread.
On Saturday I had the pleasure of shooting some children’s portraits over in Knowle, Solihull. The weather was finally dry, we had some great locations to try out and Connie & Seb were both fantastic in front of the camera.
Here’s a few from the day…
Great expression!
I love this!
I was very honored to become a Godparent recently. This is Isabella and I shot this portrait of her as a present for Mum & Dad to go with the hundreds of other pictures they have up in their house.
I just love those rosy little cheeks!!!
Kevin (Isabella’s dad) has had one of the portraits of Isabella I shot for them last year tattooed onto his arm!!! I managed to grab a quick shot with my iPhone….I’m pretty sure a nice canvas would have hurt less!
