I cant beleive this has come to an end. I have seen it all with little Sophia…. angel/ devil. She first came to my studio back in August 2007 and just take a look at how much she has grown.  Hope you bring her in to let me see her. Or just have another one!   Brace yourselves… this little girl may just melt your heart into a big mass of warm and fuzzy goo. Im going to miss you x

Wow…. not even some of my wedding look like this!

These shoots usually start off being about creating saucy images of yourself to give to a well deserving partner… but ladies, I’ve got to tell you… these sessions are always LIBERATING, often ending up being more about you having images of your self to look back at and feel good about, later on in life.

you look great Ayesha x

I always worry as I drive away from each and every wedding, that I haven’t taken enough images, that the photos will be just ‘ok’ that people won’t like them. EVERY wedding. It’s getting a bit old, so I never vocalize these thoughts… they are just my inner worries.

I drove away from Jo and Graeme’s wedding in Keswick Cumbria , confident that I had gotten everything, every detail and moment I could, but hoping that I had done their day justice. Against my better judgement, I’m just going to say it… I nailed it.  Editing these photos today, made me very happy.

I believe I am in for an incredible year. With this much beauty and love and inspiration around, I can’t see it any other way. Jo and Graeme, you two have chemistry that is infectious. I wish you nothing but happiness, always. x

Here we go, well i couldn’t stop off work forever, could I? And I need to give Claire, my assistant, some time off from all the hard work she has been doing, well done and a big thank you for keeping care of Exposure for me.

An emotional day all round, Pierce had his first day at nursery, my first week without feeding him from myself and his first week in his very own bedroom!  Trying to get back into work without having Pierce by my side was hard.  There are many beautiful gifts in the world. They come in the most amazing packages, and at times, exactly when you need it.  My first photo session could only be with a beautiful new baby.  I’d like to introduce to you little Archie Matthew Hall. He has to be one of my favorites for sure. How many babies have I photographed?… A lot. Check out his little attitude already. Do I love it?…Absolutely. Who wouldn’t.  Kay actually had planned to work with me and look after the business when I was on maternity leave, only she sat in my seat and this is the result!  But what a great little bunddle of joy they now have.  So If your in my studio soon anyone, keep away from the Director chair! Hope you enjoy my selection of fantastic pics of Archie. And a big Thank you to Kay and Matt for bringing him in so soon.  Have a fab weekend, enjoy the sun and feel free to leave comments. X

  Hi everyone, welcome to my first blog!!!

How it all started:

How did i end up with a website?

How did i end up with a studio?

How did i end up with a business?

The answer is simple……If you can dream it you can do it!

I have been doing photography for 11 years now, started in college and worked on a cruise liner for a number of years. Not exactly what I had envisioned but completely worth every moment. Each contract would be 6-8 months long. It got to the point when I would return home I missed my family and mostly I wanted a family of my very own. I was unsatisfied with cruising and tired of the endless parties, warm weather, exotic beaches and late night cocktails on the decks of the ship! (crazy I know)

In 2007 Exposure Photography opened its doors, I have never looked back. Its hard to call it a job when you love what you do. I have pretty much photographed everything and anything, if I’m not photographing cheeky teeny tots and their amazing smiles, there are no words for their absolute cuteness, or capturing the magic of a family,  photographing beautiful bellies and the incredible miracles that they produce, or snapping away at  little puppy dogs with there big wet kissable noses. Witnessing the true love from a couple or spending an afternoon with a blushing bride and her new husband is all precious to me. So if anyone asks me if  I like me job, I simply say Yes I love and breath my job Iget that feeling when I sit down and know….really know… that im doing exactly what im supposed to be doing.          

In June 2008 myself, and my partner Peter’s, lives where going to change for ever. We found out we were having a baby. We found our happiness in the world and we were about to begin an amazing journey together. We had created the most beautiful baby belly. Our pregnancy went so fast it also went by the book. (lucky I know)  You cant explain it until you have done it for yourself so any mums reading this you know  exactly what I mean. No words fit, nothing describes your emotions, its beyond beautiful. The day you become a mum is the best day ever.

Pierce may only be 4 months old and YES he is the most photographed baby. He looks like his Daddy and poses like him to! What could be a more incredible life for me? I have no idea. This is bordering pretty good on perfection for me, not only do I get to capture the love in my photographs but I get to feel it to. A mums job reaps the benefits, you get paid in pure love. Creating adorable pictures of Pierce and seeing his fabulous personality already. Here we are watching Pierce Grow. Let me know what you think?
