Ursula and Graham's new baby!

And congratulations are in order to the Brookies for the new baby boy brought into the world this week! It was the first time I had done a Newborn session in the actual maternity hospital, I forgot how hot those places get!

The as-yet unnamed wee man is just gorgeous, I love the wrinkly old-man hands newborns have. Mum and baby are doing well, dad is doting!

It's been a busy week. I was down in Bristol last week, for a seminar of 2 of my favourite photographers; Yervant in Australia and Joe Buissink from California. Both have different styles of photography and yet it was a well balanced and very inspirational seminar. I shared the day with my good friend Melanie East who is starting up in wedding photography in the Bristol area. Melanie is an established portrait photographer, who gave me a studio tour last year, and got some shots of Jack too! This kind of get-together is really important in this industry as it can get very lonely when you work for yourself!
