Derbyshire Photographer, beautifully natural baby, child, and family lifestyle portraits equine & pet photography
I spent a couple of hours on Saturday, with Justin, Jane and their family, aboard ‘Tom Kitten’ on what was a most obligingly glorious October evening, to capture a few summery lifestyle images for next years brochure. I can certainly see the appeal of holidaying on the waterways now – so relaxing and Justin and Jane’s boats are beautiful, don’t just take my word for it – pay them a visit! Aqua Narrowboats
I thought I’d have a little fun, so here it is:
The competition is for a school aged child/young person (5-16yrs) the prize includes a session plus five mounted frame ready prints and is easy to enter but does require you to put your thinking caps on!
I’ve recently bought two chairs as props; I’d love it if you could come up with some wonderful locations we could place them for a portrait session. I recently took one of them plus my daughter to Sunnydale Park to test drive it (blogged here) but I’m sure there are much more interesting locations.
Locations to be within a 20 mile radius of DE23 (though I might be tempted further a field if you come up with something truly spectacular) and needs to have road access for transporting the chair.
Competition closes 30th September and sessions to be taken by the end of October 2011.
Please follow this link to fill in the entry form.

and the winner is……….. Dawn Holt. More after the shoot 
I had fun this week trying to photograph a naughty two year old 
Hugo is extremely sweet and very photogenic but didn’t quite ‘get’ modelling, preferring to play (much like any two year old really!). Hugo’s owner had me in fits of giggles with renditions of ‘Singing in the Rain’ whilst flapping an umbrella in an attempt to capture his attention and create a nice pose with her daughter. It didn’t quite come off but the slightly older and wiser Pearl was most obliging. Thank you all for an entertaining afternoon

On Sunday I met this lovely family at their home in deepest Derbyshire. The journey there was very interesting (note to self: when it comes to route planning, don’t think you know better than Google maps!). I thought Cornwall had the monopoly on narrow lanes but apparently the Matlock area boasts quite a few! The fraught journey was made very worthwhile by the warm welcome and the gorgeous setting, here are a few photographs from the session:

Beautiful images Jen, you have absolutely captured my imagination – what fun a holiday on one of these boats would be!
What a peaceful and fun holiday that would be. Love these, especially the shot inside the boat.
