Lilly’s 1st Christmas

Recently I had the pleasure of photographing Lilly’s first Christmas, she is really such a beautiful little girl, she smiled and laughed the whole time, which makes my job so much easier.

I used a Canon flash and any available backdrop/blanket.

Henrhyd falls

I’ve been looking through my photos and found a few I took that I’ve forgotten about… as the weather has been awful today and there’s been lots of water, here’s a waterfall.

I’ve added a bit of warmth.

Arty Alliums

Just a quickie – this weekend has been a busy one with DIY, but I managed to spend some time taking arty shots of one of the large Allium blooms in the garden. I’ve used a very shallow depth of field to enhance the bokeh.

For the photo below I focused on the inside of the flower, which pushed everything else out of focus, although unconventional I really like the effect.

In most of the photos I’ve purposefully kept parts of the bloom out of focus to suggest its shape.

I think my favourite is the one below, I like it because of the light and tones I have captured in the petals.
