What a busy year 2015 was!  I didn't quite realise how many shoots I did until I started looking through them to write this blog post!  I have concentrated more on the business portraits and commercial photography side of my business this year, I find I really enjoy these types of shoots and they fit in really well with family life.  I have had the pleasure of photographing some beautiful children and families too and a couple of weddings, one being for my lovely Step Brother and Sister in Law.  Hope you like this selection of images and if you are new to my work, hope it gives you a good idea of what I do as I never have the time to blog it all!

BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Awards

At the start of the year I had the pleasure of photographing the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Awards Semi Final presented by Mark Radcliffe at the Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal.  It's been a regular job for me for a few years now and always very enjoyable.  The young musicians are very inspiring and extremely talented.
