Wishing you all a fabulous Christmas! I hope you get the chance to relax and put your feet up over the festive break. With a quiet month ahead, I’m finally on top of my paperwork and have even found time to rearrange the office furniture and do a bit of dusting… (bored now, please phone!). Last June was a different story so I have plenty to tell you about. We start with a delightful shoot for Cosmo with Danielle and Matthew. They fell in love over the Internet even though they lived on opposite sides of the Atlantic….bless!

I was invited to the in-store bakery to photograph Mark at work for the ‘who grows it’ page of Asda magazine. Not the usual outdoor rural location this page is used to. However, with a little re-arranging we managed to make quite a large scale bakery look warm and cosy.
It was great fun to go behind the scenes with Cosmopolitan magazine, at Manchester’s X Factor to photograph Beth Hart. Beth is the senior executive producer, what a fabulous job!

My second visit to the Alexander hospital, this time to photograph the Cardio Vascular team for their new website.
Stephen Martin, who is the chief executive of Clugston, was a lovely man to photograph for Business Agenda. He was very relaxed and enthusiastic. Stephen appeared on ‘Undercover Boss’ a few years back so he’s probably used to the limelight!
Lastly a tongue in cheek photo shoot now, for an article on ‘hormonal women’ for Femail. Martina Mercer, who runs a successful copy-writing business talked about all the crazy things she has done in the past while under the influence of hormones!
That’s all for now in my December ’12 news. See you in the New Year! xx

Fortunately it wasn’t long, as there were plenty of people to photograph for Gillespies - (landscape architects, master planners, and urban designers).
Read moreThis was a really fun shoot with Marie Thom for Good Housekeeping magazine entitled ‘In my experience - Midlife dramas in pyjamas’. Marie made myself and make up artist Charlotte really welcome. I set up a little ‘photo booth’ in her front room and started unpacking all of the fab props sent by the magazine.
