Vicky Sheppard
A couple of weeks ago my friend Vicky Sheppard and I did a joint photoshoot. We shared a camera and various items including a leather jacket and a beret, and we had great afternoon getting some photographs for each others portfolios. As far as I’m concerned any photoshoot that involves drinking prosecco is a good shoot! 😉 Here are a selection of my photographs of Vicky.
Congratulations Mr & Mrs Stewart! – Some photographs from my beautiful friend’s wedding
I had a wonderful time at Helen and Stefan’s wedding last week. I’ve been friends with Helen for years, and during that time we have collaborated on music, and worked on photo shoots together (some of which have won awards). Helen is a beautiful person, both on the inside as well as the outside, and I’m so pleased to see her so happy with new hubby Stefan. What a gorgeous couple! I’m sure they will have a magical future together xxx
Art Car Boot Fair
Here are some of my photos from the Art Car Boot Fair which was held in Margate today.
Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red
Last week I visited the Tower of London to see ‘Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red’. This poignant installation was created by ceramic artist Paul Cummins and marks one hundred years since the first full day of Britain’s involvement in the First World War. 888,246 ceramic poppies were used to fill the Tower’s moat – each poppy represents a British military fatality during the war. It is a powerful reminder of the incredible sacrifice so many made for our country. Part of the installation will continue to be on display at the Tower of London until the end of November. Wear your poppy with pride and remember the fallen.

Funny, fast-paced and enlightening, ‘The Adventures of Nellie Bly’ is for adults and children over 11 yrs.

1st place Award Winner for Digital Photography – Putney School of Art & Design, Summer Exhibition
My second exhibition and my second award! 🙂 I was presented with the 1st Place Award for Digital Photography by the Mayor of Wandsworth at a fantastic prize giving/private view party at the Putney School of Art and Design. I feel so blessed to be gaining recognition for doing something I love so much. It’s a very promising start. The Summer Exhibition is open till the end of July.
First ever exhibition AND first photographic award :-) The London Photo Festival
I had such a brilliant time at the London Photo Festival that I am still buzzing.
It was my first ever exhibition and it was so exciting to see my artwork displayed on the walls. The London Photo Festival was full of amazing images. I genuinely didn’t think I would win anything. Just being involved in an exhibition was fantastic enough for me. But then the utterly surreal happened… I won a prize for my photography! My first exhibition and my first award! It doesn’t get much more memorable than that. I couldn’t help but jump for joy, and gasp “Ahhh! I can’t believe it!” I failed terribly at being cool and nonchalant! I was way to giddy and excited for that! I just couldn’t contain my happiness.
So I collected my 1st runner up prize. So shocked, but so happy!
The exhibition is open from 22nd-24th May at the Crypt, St George the Martyr Church.
The prize giving
Ahhh! I’ve won a prize!
I feel famous!
