I’m excited to introduce my first magazine! This is to introduce a quick overview of my services, so that you can choose the type of photoshoot you would like to book! This magazine illustrates mainly family oriented photoshoots; but please stand by for issue number two, which will encompass and showcase my specially themed packages, Christmas Offers and also my commercial services.
Exciting news! Having been closed for business longer than most other studios for the safety of my clients, I have now made the decision to re-open! However, this will be on a more restricted basis, due to social distancing.
The studio is now prepped and ready to receive clients, following government guidelines. As it is an enclosed space, masks are mandatory until the point of posing for photographs. I of course will be wearing a mask at all times and also offer contactless hand sanitiser points, along with social distance floor markings to stop any possibility of infection. This also means that I have had to restrict the number of people in the studio to 4/5 and can no longer shoot larger family groups indoors but can arrange to shoot you all on location, such as a park or in the countryside.
To further keep everyone safe, all parts of the studio are treated with anti-virus spray, before and after each client visit.
Above all, I want you to feel safe and confident about coming into my studio in order for you to have a pleasant, enjoyable and relaxed time!
Mike.
Well! What a busy month January was! Didn’t even have time to update this site! Now I’m into February and lots of commercial shoots planned including video productions for fashion and music. Last month was full of portraiture, headshots, newborn babies, families and of course, lots of time editing, keeping me up until the early hours!
February looks like it will also be the month in which clients cash in their photoshoot vouchers, bought for them at Christmas! How long ago is that? Soon be Christmas!
With Valentine’s Day behind us, the next stop is Mother’s Day, for which I’m offering vouchers for those interested in treating Mum to a series of images that become a slice of time in this journey of ours.
Don’t delay! Get yours today!
The last wedding of the year was just before Christmas Day! Looking forward to all weddings booked so far for 2020! A Happy New Year to all!
Recent pics from a lovely Christening service in Corby. Star of the show was this little cutie who was always smiling and happy! Luckily, the rain held off so I could take shots outside at the celebration afterward.
Introducing Fine Art Portraits into my services. These images are very painterly, hence the title! The theme involves sourcing props or costumes to illustrate an idea and you are welcome to collaborate by bringing your own moodboard or props. Once the shoot is completed, I get to work in photoshop and can combine other elements to the image that were not present at the time, to create something truly unique. Whether it’s a picture of one of your children or an image you have always fancied having of yourself, please contact me to collaborate and discuss a concept that would look amazing hanging on your wall at home!
A beautiful baby girl taken in my cosy studio recently. I was able to quickly capture this lovely smile before she drifted off to sleep. When it comes to taking shots of newborns, you have to be patient and make sure baby is comfortable and happy with help from mum! It’s also nice to get shots while baby is fast asleep and able to pose them a little. It’s all about baby, so no rush and no time limit for this type of shoot as they can be unpredictable with mood, feeds and nappy changing – all of which is not a problem as long as we make the most of the bits in between!
Calling all Teenagers! Always fancied having a go at being a fashion model? Well, now you can! I’m introducing this special offer in the run up to Christmas this year so go tell your parents!

A pic from a recent teenage fashion shoot in my studio. This involved several outfit changes and lighting set ups for a fun-filled photoshoot! Got the girls to jump into the air together to capture some great shots like this one (un-edited)!
If any of you happened to be on a bike ride through Oxendon tunnel the other weekend, you may have witnessed this fire performer going through her routine! We spent quite a few hours shooting there, mainly due to having to wait for walkers and cyclists to navigate through the tunnel before we could light any fire, for safety reasons. The back-breaking part was dragging suitcases full of fuel, costume, changing tent and equipment along the dirt track, through mud to get to the tunnel entrance! Here are just a few shots from a very interesting day…
