flying about at the beach

I’ve had the very nearly flu. It was really just a cold that couldn’t be quite bothered to go all the way to flu. Lazy cold. Which pretty much describes me for the last week. Lazy + cold. A couple of times I leapt (ahem, well, sort of shuffled with gusto) out of bed, my…

Lovely shot, Kate. Beautifully composed too :)

little bookworm project // peanut & the very busy spider

Henry is his own little man. If he decides that today’s favourite book is Peanut, when yesterday he would claim “The Gruffalo” as his #1, then you go with it.

Your photos are always so alive and fabulous – they really do tell the story.

Stunning subject and photos Kate! She’s a brave girl… hope she treasures these images. Plus, I want her haircut. Not sure it will look that fab on a rapidly-approaching-40-year-old tho?

Oh this made me cry! Beautiful photos, Kate. You are amazing, Ellie! xx

BEAUTIFUL!!! Gorgeous gorgeous stuff. Ellie is completely stunning and wears her new haircut well. You capture teenagers in a way I have never seen done before, really soulful and mesmerising.

Beautiful, tender and powerful portraits all at once. Wonderful work Kate & Ellie!!!

Stunning…what a gorgeous set of images..well done (both of you) x

Kate

Thank you ladies! What a treat of a subject to photograph.

You’re so good it makes me want to put down my camera for ever more. Crying… and these photos even look good through dripping eyes. Beautiful girl, beautiful soul, beautiful photographs.

Jody

Wow. Another set of beautiful photos and linking it back to the original story makes me cry. You captured a very wonderful girl looking amazing. Well done both of you.

Holly

These are such beautiful pictures Kate, made more so by the story!

Jane Packard

One word…..gorgeous!! The light, the subject…..wow!! There’s a real honesty to your photography Kate which I love.

a dedication to motherhood

Dear Sue, This is a dedication to your motherhood. The summer’s come and gone again once already. It feels like a long time and no time at all. Every time I look back over these photographs (and I look at them often) I return immediately to the hillside, to the sun-dappled woods and the memory…

Beautiful Kate. What a gift to be to create these amazing treasured photos. And they will be treasured I know they will x

Beautiful, emotive words with images to match. And such a gentle but poignant reminder of why photographs are so VERY special.

Just beautiful, as always. Your pictures speak a thousand words but then you top them off with such lovely, heartfelt stories, it is like a bit of extra magic sprinkled on top. Lovely memories for Sue’s family to treasure forever. Oh and I LOVE the chipped colourful nail varnish – cool kid!
