I have finally got my new Christmas set up for shoots. I will be doing shoots between now and the 22nd December.

A bit about the Shoots.. the full shoot cost is £35. This includes 20 minutes Shoot time and your choice of 5 Edited Images from the gallery. You are welcome to purchase extra images / the whole gallery once you have viewed your album if you wish. A non refundable deposit of £15 is due upon booking to secure your slot and the remaining £20 balance will be due on the day of your shoot.

Up to 3 siblings per session, this is due to the size of the set. If you need more time you can book at second slot.

A few Examples from last years set below.

What an amazing Day!

As part of my wedding gift I took the prototype of my PhotoBox. This is a photo booth that produces amazing Images and is going to be available for hire very soon. It’s designed with a studio light and a mirrorless camera. You can see the images as they are taken on the built in screen.

After the event all images are sorted, edited, then delivered digitally. This is as simple as push the button and smile. The kids thought it was amazing as no waiting for prints before you could take the next picture and no-one was telling them “that’s enough”

More information coming soon

Mum and Nanna wanted it to be a surprise for Christmas so I am only posting now, it was worth the wait.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, get in touch for the new year if you want to plan a specific shoot.

All the very best for 2022, we hope it’s a special year filled with health and happiness for you all.

The 09/01/2021, the UK is in lockdown. The idea of being able to get out in the New year and create is becoming a distant memory. The few hours I got back at the beginning of December 2020 seems like a lifetime ago.

We are probably not alone in these feelings! This is hard enough for people who can live normal lives at home, so many people can’t – so many trapped by lockdown and all the extra stress it brings with it. That’s something we know a lot about!

We are parents of a disabled child, our youngest on the Autistic spectrum. He also has developmental delay and severe learning difficulties and anxiety. Anyone who knows or lives with anyone with a disability like this understands when I say lockdown has not been easy. In fact it has been one of the toughest times we have had to face.

People on the spectrum don’t like change, they thrive on routine. They function in a way that a change can unbalance their lives completely. Normally it has to be introduced gradually, integrating whatever is changing and making it normal over time. Adults and children on the spectrum who are not as severe learn coping strategies to deal with things neurotypicals just see as mundane, run of the mill, easy life situations.

Big change, constant change, total change – that is something that needs time to work into life. That is something we haven’t had over the past 12 months. Change has been a daily thing and not just little things. The change has been giant, massive, all-encompassing. Life has changed as we know it.

Try to explain that to a child who is nearly ten, but has the understanding of a 3-4 year old. A child who can’t express their emotions, so the sort of massive change triggers violence or massive anxiety.

This is what we have lived with for 9 years, the last 12 months being the hardest we have known. We are attacked for saying the wrong thing, sitting in the wrong place, moving in the wrong direction, we have to watch as the rage subsides and turn into anxiety and sometimes worse.

We are not alone, millions of others will go through what we go through. Whether it is as a career or with their own mental health.

On Saturday, after a week were we had built him up to go to school, only to be told it was closed, to be told no-one could have seen this coming. To have to tell him his world was changing again and again. To say to school anyone could see this coming, to demand that school must be reopened for him and his fellow students, all on the spectrum.

We needed escape, we needed change. For our own mental health, so not to have to sit and be abused by a boy who can’t help himself. We got in the car and drove, drove and carried on driving.

He is relatively calm in the car. The noise, the world passing by his window. He still tells us if we say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing, we are not attacked for it, we are not sat in the same four walls facing the same situation. So we drove for 4 and a half hours. 150 mile round trip, stopping only to let him put his feet in the deepest snow he had ever seen and to fly the drone for 10 mins.

The reason I started this channel was to create, was to get out and make something. To do something more than working and be a full-time career. We have had one day off this year. One day when we could sleep in bed together for more than 2 or 3 hours, sit on the same sofa together. One day to just be normal husband and wife, just do nothing or anything, whatever takes our fancy.

This channel is not about Autism or raising a disabled child, it is about creating something that is just for me, to show I can still have a normal life.

Hopefully one day soon that will be true.

Here is the short video I managed to create in the 10 mins we had.

Hope you give it a like and subscribe.

We had the most amazing sunset I have seen in a long time, no chance of capturing that. I hope some of you had your cameras out.

The road from Rivington to Belmount is usually a pleasant and scenic drive. On the 1st January 2021, it was anything but pleasant. We waited at the start of the ascend on the Rivington, as drivers in cars of all types tried to power their way up the snow-filled, icy road. The panic as they started to slide backwards as their wheels spun.

Once it was clear we made our way up, slow and steady – just keeping traction. What awaited us was a glorious vista, Winter Hill shrouded in a white blanket, and the surrounding landscape, with all its rolling undulations coated in a crisp white layer of snow.

It looked like the 4×4 club had met at the top and local landowners or their children were out on the quads, having great fun.

The drone went up at the top and a couple of images captured on the way back.

Hope you give it a like and subscribe.

This really is the last one of 2020!

The snow fell on the Hills of Lancashire and we had a drive to Parbold hill, I sent the drone up and got some footage

Hope you give it a like and subscribe.

I would like to wish you all HAPPY NEW YEAR I hope 2021 brings with it Health & Happiness for everyone
