Love Birds
One year ago today I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of a wonderful couple, at Danby Castle, Whitby. Their wedding was beautiful, in a stunning setting, truly lovely family and friends, and suitable avian decor details throughout (what with being the new Mr & Mrs Bird!). Happy first wedding anniversary Karen and James x
Wedding invitations
I have just delivered these to a lovely couple getting married this summer. They wanted a vintage floral theme using sage greens and pastel pinks. The stationery comprised of day and evening invitations, an RSVP postcard, and all tied with bakers twine and a scalloped, hand-stamped tag.
Last year I painted a lovely lady called Lily - a chocolate Labrador. She now has a very excitable Springer Spaniel sister called Maggie, who I am also about to paint. But first we needed some photos…
Whisper the pony
My painting of a handsome pony, commissioned by a local lady for her daughter’s Christmas present.
Family Photoshoot
A recent shoot with my friend Nicola and her gorgeous family. Thornley Woods provided us with a fabulous autumn backdrop and the little ones were ace, striking some fabulous poses for me. The littlest one had a definite liking for my camera, a future Annie Leibovitz perhaps!
… had a very shiny nose!
Just completed my new Christmas card range, each individually hand drawn and hand stamped. There are four in the range: Red Nosed Reindeer, Partridge in a Pear Tree, Little Donkey and Rockin Robin.
You can buy them from me direct, or come and find me at a Christmas Market.
Vintage Shakespeare Photo Album
I was recently commissioned to create a bespoke photo album, customised with pages from a vintage copy of Romeo and Juliet (a 1923 complete works edition printed for Selfridges to be exact) and little hearts made from fabric remnants, inspired by my LOVE canvases.
Created as a gift from a groom to his bride, how lovely!
