Mike & Mike - engagement photography session, Oxford

I spent a lovely spring Sunday morning dawdling along the canal with new clients Mike & Mike. I am photographing their civil partnership in June, and we combined meeting to discuss the day with a shoot in Wolvercote. Below are some of the results. Looking forward to June!

Bianca - portrait photography session, Oxford

Soon to be seen in Vogue (yes, really)

Hello. Sharing some favourites from my shoot with Bianca at her home back in February. I'm particularly excited about the shot above, love the soft light of the window on her face as she pauses to look out at the garden over a cup of tea and it has a kind of classic feel that I dig. It's the image chosen to appear in Vogue when I'm in the 'Oxford vs Cambridge' article next month. Exciting: now I can say '... as featured in Permaculture Magazine and Vogue' ;)

Bianca was after some informal portraits for professional use, and we worked together at her garden flat on a cold winter's morning, experimenting with a range of poses and positions, and two types of lens (my new 35mm f/1.8 prime and the 24-70 f/2.4 zoom for longer shots). The location was a photographer's dream, with it's high ceilings, big windows, great decor and beautiful light. A great space to work, and a fun shoot. Thank you Bianca!

Toast and telly - portrait photography study of my little Beee

Favourite feet

A little study of Bee watching telly and eating toast.
I was hoping to head out into the sun that day, but Bee didn't feel great, so we curled up on the sofa with some toast. Perfect opportunity for some new shots of her and always a good exercise in creativity to pay attention to what is right in front of you, especially when it is so lovely.
