Working with Cheshire’s Poet Laureate

Many of you will know I volunteer my services to local Community Radio station RedShift Radio. Presently on the airwaves on 87.7FM in the South Cheshire area I am doing four shows a week in between the busy festive photoshoots! I ordinarily present the local music show on a Monday but have stepped up the shows and present the local community show called Community Roundup three days a week!

Recently one of our many guests was Cheshire’s longest serving poet laureate, Terry Fox. He delivered several poems and one, Homage To Cheshire, was so full of wonderful imagery that I had to ask if we could collaborate. I have recently put together some slideshows of various areas of my photography and thought the idea of photographing a set of images to put to the poem would be a wonderful project. I am pleased to say that Terry was very keen, he commented “I am enormously pleased by the prospect of my poem being used with your photographs.” I can’t say how proud I am to be working with such an esteemed poet!

I will of course keep you up to date on the progress of this project!!

Meanwhile there is still time to get Christmas bookings in. I use local suppliers so I can guarantee prints and canvas for a while yet so please do get in touch if you fancy a kids, family or pets shoot for Christmas! We also offer vouchers which make wonderful Christmas gifts!

On Saturday 10th December we will be at the Kingsmead Primary School Christmas Fair in Northwich. You can pop along to see some of our canvas montages and printed work including our kids photography, family photography and pets photography! We’ll have images of newborns, baby & toddler shots, maternity photos and lots from our portfolio! I’ll also have my portrait portfolio and some of my wedding books! See you there?

Christmas Family Photos

Well here we are in December so I guess we can talk about Christmas now! Its obviously a busy month but we still have bookings available with prints and canvasses guaranteed in time for Christmas!

Family photography is very popular this time of year, as is pet photography! We have some great packages that are very reasonably priced so please do get in touch if you want some kids photos, family shots, pet photos or some nice portraits from your local award winning photographer!

We can also offer vouchers for any of our packages which make a nice gift for Christmas!

I’ve also put together a little slideshow of some of my kids photography which is on Youtube! On my main website follow the link at the bottom to my new Youtube channel!

Special Photo Sitting Days in Crewe

The blog is back, lets hope its here to stay!! I’ll kick things off with a quick post about the special photo sitting days I am holding in the lead up to Christmas. I have organised a set of photo days at various locations which means you can take advantage of our £20 for a shoot and print offer. Its great value for Christmas presents and we offer the usual fantastic quality!

You are free to select your favourite image and have it printed as you desire, in colour or in monochrome. You can also select any other images if you like and may choose to upgrade to one of our good value packages or to a canvas print. There’s no hard selling, you get a unique login and can select your images at your leisure online!

To kick things off we are heading over to RedShift Radio on 6th November and then a week later we will be at The Box on Pedley Street. We are open to Newborns, Kids Photos, Family, pets or professional portraits for social media use! If you are after a nice pro portrait to use on Twitter or Facebook you can choose to have a web resolution digital image instead of the print ready to upload!
