I am very proud to announce that my portrait is on the front cover of the Brighton Photo Fringe 2016 Exhibition Catalogue. I hope you can make my exhibition 'A Portrait of Childhood' at the Big Beach Cafe 1st-30th October. There will be lots more beautiful children's portraits on display.

Last Saturday was a balmy warm day at Hove beach when I met up with the Bissell family for a photo shoot. The boys were really good fun and put up with me taking pictures of them for much longer thank they should have! Thanks so much to Lelia and Steve who were wonderful to work with. I love the results! 

I had a wonderful day at Kensington Palace yesterday photographing the winners of the Historic Royal Palaces 'Time Explorers' challenge. The children had a great time competing in various Victorian themed games and had prizes handed out by Queen Victoria herself!

I am very pleased to announce that @bigbeachcafe (The Big Beach Cafe, Hove Lagoon) will be hosting and exhibition of my children's portraits for the Brighton Photo Fringe 2016 for the month of October. Exciting details to follow!

I am very proud to announce that I have received an 'Honorable Mention' in the much coveted 2015/16 I.P.O.T.Y Awards.

I entered my portrait of Rueben and am very pleased with the result as the competition was tough! Watch this space for more competitions coming to fruition in the next few months and sneak previews of my Taylor Wessing entries for 2016.

I am very proud to announce that my 'Children' series of images has been awarded an 'Honorable Mention' in the Portraits section of this prestigious 2015 Competition. I entered a series of 3 images taken from my Nursery Portraits that were created in one sitting at Littlesaurus Nursery in April 2015.

I am very excited to receive such amazing and positive feedback and am feeling inspired to make even more beautiful portraits in 2016!

I am very pleased to announce that my portrait of 'Rueben' received an Honorable Mention in the 13th Annual Lucie Awards, presented at Carnegie Hall New York 27th October 2015. I entered his photograph i to the People/Children section of the competition that is hailed as the Oscar night of the Photography Industry.

This is the first year I have entered this competition and the photograph of Rueben was one taken from his school portrait gallery. It wasn't taken with the possibility of entering competitions in mind so I am very pleased with this positive feedback. Many thanks to Rueben's parents for allowing me too use this image in the competition, it is very much appreciated.

Out today is the latest Summer edition of ABC magazine with my little cover star photograph of India from Hove on the front page.

There is an article to accompany it inside on pages 100-101 titled 'Getting the Best Photographs of Children' where I have offered my 10 best tips to help parents make the most of that brief second where your child actually looks up at your camera and smiles.

I hope they are of some use :)
