The idea - [updated March 2022]

I’m of the opinion that there’s value in you as a prospective client understanding why I do what I do.

I didn’t feel like I had great pictures of my family. So I started to teach myself how to take them. Later studying under my mentors to further develop a style and achieve consistency. And how does this translate to you? Well I guess that depends on what and why you want pictures taken by any photographer.

I could sit here typing, boring you with a few paragraphs about my life story and the photos I took and now take. Would you read it? Maybe? If I’m being honest I’m not sure I would though if I was you…

Basically I think the reason I am doing this can be summarized quite succinctly in to a few main bullets:

• I like to look back at my photos, because I am proud of them. Therefore for you, knowing that I want to make myself proud of my work means I will of course want to make YOU proud of the my work too.

• I would like everyone to have a time-capsule of their lives with as much natural and candid content as possible. I have a pictures of myself, my wife our (then newborn) baby and our dog trying to pose for a self-portrait as a family. We have a couple that are “Holiday card” worthy - although our son was born in March, so they will be out of date by December. But the best ones, or at least the ones I cherish the most are with the dog trying to escape, the baby crying, my wife looking away and me looking perplexed - it’s just more “us”.

Hopefully this helps explain a bit more about me, now if having me take your picture interests you, I’d like to get to know you a little too - give me a call or send me a text or an email.
