The Angus Boys
I returned from Nairn the long way round, via Aberdeen. I was there to photograph four year old Callum and two year old Innes. Apparently I’d photographed Callum before, when he was a very young baby and his parents were guests at a wedding I photographed.
The only way the weather could have been worse was if it had been raining, but then to two young boys, a freezing gale force wind is something to be enjoyed (unlike us adults!)
As I left Aberdeen, the radio was announcing a road near Glenshee closed because of drifting snow, and that the Shetland ferry was stuck outside Aberdeen harbour in 70mph winds….
Meghan’s birthday portraits
My friend Ali’s daughter Meghan was about to turn 18 when Ali decided to mark the occassion with a portrait shoot of her. The prints would be for the grand-parents!
Unfortunately, the weather meant that we couldn’t use the beautiful East Lothian scenery as a location, so I hung up a quick plain black backdrop instead. All in keeping with my ‘keep it simple’ philosophy.
Beth on the beach portraits
A colleague commented on the lack of portraits on my blog, so I’ve decided to rectify the situation.
My style of portrait photography is very similar to my wedding photography – it’s unobtrusive, natural and full of empathy for the subject and their surroundings.
Here’s a few photos of toddler Beth (who was very confused by the ripples in the sand!), with her parents on Belhaven beach. A portrait session that was totally unplanned, and the result of a chance meeting!
