Well, the world looks very different to how it did when I started planning this post. How is everyone holding up? I’ve had my moments of despair and I fully expect more on the way. At first I didn’t see the point of posting anything but then I realised maybe this post...

I have been so busy doing outdoor autumn photo sessions for the last couple of weeks that I haven’t had time to put any of the images online, but I had to share these. This is the final session in my first year package with a wonderful family whose daughter I...
