the manic rush to get all the orders out the door before Christmas is now passed and i have been very busy catching up with the paperwork which is still not done and doing the figures to see how much money i have helped to raise this year for my charities and schools,

the running total for Tolworth gym club is now over £3000 and i have delivered a healthy £1700 to Christchurch school for commissions on the sales of school photos

I had the pleasure of photographing the sultan of Brunei last week meeting the sultan and the whole royal party which includes their own television crew and staff photographers as well as security and ladies in waiting. they were all lovely and it was a pleasure and a privilege to be there

I also spent time at the graduation ceremony and was playing with shutter speeds in the weird dark and bright orange London barbican which is really weird building , even the floors are not straight

cant decide, colour or black n white , which do u prefer

also this january was the big society of wedding and portrait photographers conference 6000 shutterbugs in one hotel, interesting! but a chance to catch up with some friends and do a spot of networking.

The studio is filling up nicely with fun appointments over the next few weeks which is great for this time of year and the corporate diary is looking very healthy too, so all around bloody fantastic here at the moment, sorry i keep leaving big gaps between posts , still not got into the habit properly, will try harder this year, laters, luv k
