Mother and Daughter Photo session
It was an honour and joy to photograph these two ladies.
Received an email from Deirdre (Dear-dra - inside joke) asking about my availability to photograph a special moment for her and daughter. A few emails to and fro and we were set with the date and location.
Deirdre's requirements were simple, she wanted natural and relaxed photos in a nice location. The best place for this would be Farley Hill National Park, it's just a magical location. "Make sure you get some candid moments" she said.
Deirdre & Chloe met me with warm smiles and excitement in their voices, I knew this was going to be a wonderful time, we chatted and walked. While walking I would either dart ahead of them or drift back and capture their interaction with each other, we chatted about why this trip was so special for them, Chloe had just turned 18 and this was their way of celebrating, first time to the Island and just having fun and adventure.
Whilst chatting Deirdre asked, "what made you get into photography?" after a few seconds I looked at her and replied, "this...creating memories for people"
I hope to meet them again, here's a bit of what happened.
Portrait Session with Gabrielle
It’s always great to have Gabby back home, I’m sure her parents, friends and family find it equally enjoyable to have her back as well. For me it is the perfect photo opportunity, her piercing stare, thick lovely hair, glowing skin and stunning good looks make for the perfect canvas to create some amazing portraits.
This was our second session and she didn’t disappoint, I was ready to end the session in the first 15mins of the shoot. Hardly remembering the poses I wanted, she made it easy with every turn and angle.
Gabby… if this doctor thing gets too stressful the modelling world awaits you! Thank you for hanging out with me and giving me the opportunity to capture these amazing portraits.

Sherice and David
Two years and going strong…
Had such a fun time with this couple, at first David was all serious and about business (I call this being shy) By the fourth click he was right at home and giving Sherice a handful of trouble. I don’t think Sherice minded at all.
I met this couple last year at a baby shower, Sherice had organized for the photographer, guess I didn’t do a bad job on the shower.
Sherice emailed me and asked about rates and pricing for a wedding anniversary photoshoot. Business out of the way, we planned to capture some moments.
The shoot started off with a downpour of rain and threatened to cancel the shoot. Assisted by Jamel Gittens we braved and pushed through the weather and managed to pull off a fantastic Wedding Anniversary Session.
A little of what went down.
Sheena and Girlfriends…
The way I see it, if I have photographed you more than twice... you are my client. You would have seen Sheena before with her family, this time Sheena is back with her girlfriends and they were a crazy and fun bunch to work with.
Somehow Sheena managed to find what I would have to call the most deserted place in St. Philip to shoot in for this session. However, it made for a pretty cool spot to shoot, I never would have found this place during this century. It has now been geo tagged.
Sheena called and asked about my availability in July for a shoot with her and a few girlfriends, we confirmed the date and time. Before the session started they said " we not models, so you have to pose us"... "Just relax and go with the flow and enjoy the day, you are here to have fun"
Honestly, I must say, it was a good session, I still think they're crazy!
Thank you Sheena for allowing me to record your memories.
