Some people describe black and white photography as classic and timeless and I couldn’t agree more. When clients view their images from a session, we show a range of colour, black and white and sepia images and b&w images seem to be more popular than ever before. It’s hard to explain why images in monotone work … Continue reading
It’s always nice to photograph babies with their parents. It’s such a precious time and it’s lovely to capture the love that mum or dad has for their child in a single frame. And although not every parent always wants to be in a photograph when they come back to view the images they always seem to … Continue reading
It’s always exciting buying new props and backdrops for the studio – it can give you’re images a new lease of life which is essentially for an up to date portfolio of your work. For our newborns (specifically the girls) we recently bought this lovely lilac coloured throw and a few matching bits and I … Continue reading
About a mile from the town of Ashburton in Devon, tucked out of the way, is a lovely hotel called Lavender House; we’ve photographed a few weddings here now and I have to say its always been a joy working there. The most recent wedding we captured was the wedding of Kayleigh and Simon. The … Continue reading

Having a baby is a life changing event and nothing quite prepares you for it. And capturing these moments is so important – everyone will tell you that they don’t stay little for long and it’s true, one minute they are in your arms, the next they’re running around! Capturing your baby as a newborn … Continue reading
One of the great things about photographing babies is that very often the parents are not married. In fact I’d say that more couples come into the studio these days with babies not married than as husband and wife. This is great for us because lots of couples have a baby (who we’ve photographed) and then decide … Continue reading
In the studio we have lots of different props of all shapes and sizes and for all ages – but we still encourage our customers to bring in their own props especially if they have something that’s particularly sentimental. Some of the props that are brought in are fairly easy to incorporate into a shot; … Continue reading
I recently had the opportunity to photograph James and Chris Tanner, more locally known as The Tanner Brothers for a front cover of a food magazine. Best known for co-owning the Tanners Restaurant in Plymouth, they regular appear on TV cooking shows so this was a little different from our day to day baby work!This was an … Continue reading
A question we get asked a lot in the studio is who’s more difficult to photograph – boys or girls??? Inevitably some people think girls are more difficult (especially as some can act like real diva’s!) whilst others seems to think boys are (as they can be very boisterous!). The truth is, neither one is … Continue reading
