I was asked by my good friend Ian if I could photograph him and his lovely twin daughters.

This was a special portrait photoshoot for Kelly’s fiance as a wedding present. I was honoured when she asked me to do it. We took our time getting these shots to get the results we wanted. Three of these photos are now hanging up in their bedroom.

Acting is a profession for the brave and the tenacious. For every successful actor there are legions of those still trying to get their lucky break. Grant is one of those blessed few to make a career out of acting. He asked me to create new shots for his portfolio and I was happy to oblige.

I swear if you look up “positivity” in any dictionary you will find Jade Parsons as part of that description. No doubt many will notice her looks, but having spent a bit of time photographing Jade she really does knock out any doubts or fears within you. So when I had to select the photos as part of her Summer shoot, I needed to find the ones that reflected her charm and optimism; it’s actually easier than you think as they all exude that “glass half full” outlook.

This will be the first part of 5 as I did with the Valentines shoot back in February this year. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did photographing them.

Just as a teaser, I wanted to post up a photo of my muse Jade Parsons. More will be revealed (literally) next week.
