We are just back from a great holiday in North Wales where we played in lots of water. Water always inspires me to take photos! #Bala #wales #paddleboard

I don’t think I’ve ever noticed these purple loosestrife flowers at the lido before. Looking great and I had to wait ages to get a pic without people posing in them! Doing a yearly project of photos is a great way to notice and remember all the seasonal changes. Video timelapse to come!. #ruisliplido #ruislip #iloveruislip #timelapsephotography

You might have noticed that I love finding water to swim in whereever I can. If you fancy some urban family photos there are lots of places in London that we can add some water sparkles to your images, or even get soaking wet! Here`s one from when I had my photos taken a couple of years ago. #familyphotographylondon

If you are in the city but could do with a bit of a green oasis relaxation, find this spot in central London hidden between the skyscrappers. St Dunstan`s in the East is a ruined medieval church, which after bomb damage in the 40`s was preserved as a luscious garden, with a small trickling fountain and lots of picnic spots.
You can find St Dunstan in the East a 10 minute walk from Tower Hill tube and has a background of shiny glass buildings of the corporate world. Surrounded by more obvious sights, such as the tower bridge, the tower of London, and the Monument, there is lots to see.
There are so many great city locations in London for urban photo adventures.

If you`d rather go wild in the city than the countryside, and love London and the hustle and bustle, this is the photo shoot for you. Capture some real family pictures and some iconic locations in a city adventure session, whether you are just visiting, staying or leaving.
I think Londoners sometimes loose sight of the interesting bits of London - whereas the tourists are whizzing around trying to see it all. I`ve lived in London for about 25 years now, and regard myself as a long stay tourist (but still a northerner at heart). I still find new things to explore in London. I can take you to some of my favourite routes - with views and sights, but still enough space for us to take some vibrant electric city pictures.

What are the chances?!
I travelled 50 miles across London to photograph a brand new client and their gorgeous guinea pigs… only to realise we’ve met before! Turns out we first crossed paths at the wonderful Neville’s Nest Guinea Pig Rescue - the place to go if you want to find a safely neutered gentleman pig for your herd.
Here`s some of the furry photos from a great celebration of family, graduations and guinea pigs! #guineapigsofinstagram #familyphotographer #petsarefamilytoo #animalrescue

I`ve been thinking hard about how to improve the experience of having family photographs.
When I started out it used to take me 2 hours to get enough great photos in a family photo session.
With experience I got that down to 1 hour.
But...
Now I am going to start offering half day, 3 hour plus photo sessions
Because the enemy of great photos is photo stress.
The parents get stressed
They give it to their children
"Stand still"
"Smile now"
"We only have an hour"
So lets take that stress away with a longer photo session
Not 3 hours solid of photos. Of course not. (that would be mad)
But 3 hours in which to choose the best time to take the photos
We`ll go on an adventure
I`ll show you my favourite places
The kids will investigate, the trees, the bugs, the nature
We`ll play. Bubbles, balls, feed the ducks
Stop for a picnic.
Distract ourselves with icecream
The photo session isn`t something we are trying to get out of the way, it`s the fun outing of the day.
Quality family time
So don`t tell the kids that they are going out to a photo session ("Stand still, Smile now")
But that we are going out for a family adventure
And that I`ll take some photos while we are there, because they are superstars!
Super fun
Super explorers

I was very happy to be asked to contribute photos to this book published last week - the definitive book about caving in OFD, created and written by Peter Collings-Wells and filled with pictures from current and past cave photographers.
I`ll show you the best page first - two little twins and Ash in the OFD II entrance series. The rest of the book is great too! It covers the whole 30 miles length of OFD - I`ve probably been to maybe half the places photographed in the book in my 20 years of visiting the cave. It`s a great read for anyone who caves in OFD, or who would like to see all the pretty bits of cave without venturing into getting muddy themselves!
Available to buy from South Wales Caving Club, Starless River and Inglesport. #caving #southwalescavingclub #ogofffynnonddu #cavephotography #adventurephotography #familyadventure
