All Weather Championship Final - Good Friday Family Funday 2026 🐎

It’s great to be back at Newcastle Racecourse and see everyone having a fantastic day out from watching the horse racing, enjoying the amusements and tucking into the declicous food!

If you were at the event today, keep an eye out for the pictures I’ve take as you might be in them 📸

Most people only see Sedgefield Racecourse on race day…

But behind the scenes, there’s so much more to capture.

From wide-angle lenses showcasing the full scale of the grounds, to drone photography and cinematic video from above — we’ve been documenting every detail of this fantastic venue 🏇

Brilliant to work with such a welcoming team — and we can’t wait for the buzz of the upcoming race days.

Keep an eye out… photos dropping soon 👀

Your Baby Is Always In Safe Hands With Us 👋

When it comes to newborn photography, many parents worry how the session will go and will they get the pictures they have dreamt of for the last 9 months?

As you can see from this video, we know exactly how to relax your baby and put them into a comfy position while we capture the photos.

Thank you Adele and Jordan for bringing in Levi for his photos at the weekend - I can’t wait to share the final photos with you soon ❤️

Happy Mother’s Day 💐

Today is about celebrating the amazing mums in our lives — the ones who support us, shape us, and love us unconditionally.

For many of us, it’s also a day of reflection… remembering the mums who are no longer with us but who will always be part of who we are.

This photo of me and my dad reminds me how important family is, and how the love of a mum sits right at the heart of it all.

We’re incredibly grateful to photograph so many families and capture those moments that become memories for a lifetime.

Whether you’re celebrating, remembering, or both today — we’re thinking of you.

Happy Mother’s Day ❤️

Capturing the energy of Durham Infinite Air 🎯

The brief was simple — photograph the venue exactly as it feels.

Families, couples, friends and work colleagues of all ages enjoying the space naturally, from the state-of-the-art arcade machines to mini golf, trampolines, and everything in between.

The goal was to capture real moments, genuine reactions and the best aspects of what makes the venue such a great experience.

A brilliant place and a great opportunity to photograph!

We had some very special guests in the studio not so long ago..

Meet Henry, Piper & Sherrif – three Bassett Hounds who are already local celebrities around the North East 🐶

If you’ve ever been on the bus or Metro, chances are you’ve seen them. They get stopped everywhere they go for photos, cuddles and the occasional tummy rub.

They came into the studio for their own photoshoot and let’s just say it included:

• Lots of drool
• Even more tummy rubs
• Long ears everywhere
• And plenty of personality

Huge thank you to Chris and Karen for bringing them in – it was an absolute pleasure having these famous faces in the studio today.

Safe to say they stole the show 🐾
