Straight off the card
Sessions we have just finished, written up with the frames that came out of them. New ones go up as they are delivered.
This is where sessions go once they are delivered. Not a highlight reel of the best twenty frames we have ever taken, but whole shoots written up with what the day was actually like: where it was, what the light did, what we were trying for and whether it worked.
It is here for two reasons. If you are deciding whether to book us, a full set from one real session tells you far more than a portfolio of single frames, because a portfolio only ever shows the frames that came out. And if you have already booked, it is a reasonable way to see what is coming.
New entries go up as galleries are delivered, so the top of this page is usually within a few weeks of current.
