We are currently in Burgundy for a relaxing week with the Lawson clan. Pete’s parents have a lovely house here, and as we had a very rare week off in the middle of summer we seized the opportunity to get out here. It’s a long drive, but totally worth it 🙂 This is the first…
Laura’s birthday was a couple of weeks ago now, but it seems wrong that I should have had a birthday blog post and not Laura! So here it is 🙂 Happy late birthday to my lovely wife. She rocks. Starting off the celebrations early, we had some ‘birthday eve’ cupcakes in bed. Followed by a…
Today my big sister Jen turns 30! Here are some embarrassing photos which she will no doubt ask me to take down immediately 🙂 Here’s one of my favourite photos, the day we discovered the wardrobe full of tutus (our mother was a ballet teacher)… …and possibly my favourite photo of my family. Jen looking…
This weekend my wonderful husband embarked on his last year as a twenty something. We were in the lakes shooting a gorgeous wedding on the big day itself, but the next day we went to Manchester for some sunshine and celebration 🙂 Mojitos at Spinningfields… I gave Pete a ‘man bag’, which means I don’t…
Last weekend we got chance to catch up with our photo takin’ buddy Simon Fazackarley while he was up north shooting a wedding. We ate a load, drank a fair amount, did a bit of bowling and highlighted our complete inability to remember how Monopoly works. Good times. It was Sunday, so a pub lunch…
We threw a party last week for my adorable niece Lydia. I blogged hundreds of pics over on Straight From the Fridge if you want to check it out!
Our niece and nephew are visiting 🙂 Here they are being rambunctious at grandma and granddad’s house… You don’t see that every day… All images taken with Fuji x100
So… we stopped for some supplies on our way back from a lovely portrait shoot in the lakes and the light in the car park was just too awesome to ignore! I had no choice but to force poor Laura to pose for some 70s style shots by the car – who needs to go…
Let me introduce you to our new little friend, the Fuji x100. It is extremely pretty 🙂 I’m not going to review it in a tech spec way, instead I’ll just share some snaps I’ve taken with it at home. It arrived the morning after we’d shot a wedding in London, done the 4 hour…
Last week we spent two days in the Peak District with some of our lovely photographer friends; it was so nice to catch up, talk about geeky things and eat a million Jaffa Cakes. Of course the cameras came out… Cheer up… That’s better! Tom Arber, rocking the squat… The lovely Ian Olsson… It was…
We spent yesterday at Chester Zoo with our good friends Aaron (Reel Weddings) and Andrea, along with their adorable tot. Rather than lugging my camera around I decided I would give the 8mm vintage camera app on iphone a go (thanks for the recommendation Cris!). Here’s the result 🙂 [jwplayer config=”Lawson” mediaid=”19293″] Music: ‘At the…
You may have noticed that our website is looking a little different. It’s had a February facelift. Before we had a blog we had a website; this was our shop, our gallery, our window to the world. Since then our little blog has become the place where all the action happens and where we actually…
We are not ‘car people’. You know, people who read What Car magazine and spend their time surfing the Autotrader website and get a shiny new model every year. We have literally driven our old little 306 to death. Buying a house last year took over our lives a bit. While we were busy ripping…
