Last month I spent 4 days with Aspire Photography Training and we were treated to 5 different portrait sessions. So this will be the first in a series of posts! Lorna & Hannah were first up and were great fun to photograph. Full of beans and very relaxed – their friendship really shone through. The […]

In March I went to Cumbria to see my lovely friends at Aspire Photography Training, for the first of several visits that I will make over the next 12 months. We were treated to absolutely beautiful weather and the buoyant and enthusiastic company of Tamara Peel, who took us through the process of a portrait photography session. Our willing […]
