New Gallery for website
Thursday, September 23rd, 2010We’re updating the look and feel of our website following some very insightful feedback from friends and customers alike.
Did you know that the most frequently visited page on our website is the gallery – so that’s where we started first. Hopefully you’ll agree it looks a lot better.
Next steps are to look at a function whereby people who’ve had a photoshoot can then log-in to see their pictures!
That and simplifying our navigation – keep yours eyes peeled over the next few days for changes.

Brighton Marathon
Tuesday, April 20th, 2010Well I’m delighted to say that I finished the inaugural Brighton Marathon – I aimed for 6.30hrs and did it – just.
A simply amazing day for the city – over 80,000 specators turned out to watch 7500 runners compete in the glorious sunshine.
My knee gave up on me about 9miles in so it was super hard after that. Switching bandage from my left knee to the right proved inspirational and let me continue.
I’m really please to have raised some money for Chestnut Tree House and still the fundraising continues over at my Just Giving page where I’ve raised close to £1200.
You can see pics and a report from the marathon here and here
One of the things that spurred me – and it’s funny (to me anyway)
Back in February I ran a 10km run – on the last 1km someone pointed out that a runner dressed in fancy dress was catching me up, he was a chap called Darren Lodge, dressed as Mr Testicle raising money for Male Testicular Cancer. I put in a last spurt of energy and beat him across the line (wouldn’t want to be beaten by a bollock!) only to find out later that he had beaten me on my chip time. Doh!
Who should I run into on the Marathon – you bet, Mr Testicle. He’s the reason why I ran faster in the the 2nd 13miles than the first!
I did manage to talk to him en-route and gave him encouragement – but then I pulled away – and all the while he was just behind me…..my Nemesis – Mr Testicle.
I did manage to beat him (just!) here’s his Mr Testicles Report. Darren Lodge is also collecting via his mr testicles justgiving page
Just to prove that I beat him here’s his chip time and my chip time – I know it’s not a significant feat – but I think it’s funny and I wish him all the luck with this fundraising too.
What an amazing day – thanks to ALL the people that cheered me on around the course and of course to my beautiful family who ALL came out in force – stood around for hours, painted banners and looked after me. Not least of course my amazing wife Sarah who has been mentoring me and supporting me – I love you dearly. This was for you and Chestnut. X.
We’re currently away
Saturday, March 27th, 2010Returning soon. On Hols. Will respond to emails on return.

Pet Photography
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010We had a really fun shoot in the studio yesterday, someone had bought Mrs X a gift certificate for Christmas – it was for a voucher to come into the studio have have photo’s taken of her pets.
We welcomed Cassie and Suzy (Golden retriever and Shitsu) into the studio and after the initial excitement they both settled into it – like pro’s! Posing for photos together we’d got all we needed after a half an hour.
Watch this space for pics…..
Looking for sponsorship!
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010For those that know me – running a marathon isn’t something you’d expect – however that’s what I’m trying to do.
If you’d like to donate to a very worthy cause – i’m running for Chestnut Tree House which is a charity for terminally ill children.
You can donate here.
