My desk in a cupboard {photography}

This week I got a little bit excited as a bit of grey paint (‘Dashing’) was applied and some clipboards (Urban Outfitters wrapping paper mounted on the back of clear clipboards) were put up in my little office in a cupboard. My husband knows how to spoil me on Valentines Day – these things make me extra happy (sad I know!)!! So my desk is nearly complete – it has a polaroid camera in it that belonged to my dad – it’s his fault I wanted to be a photographer from the age of 10 so seems appropriate – and as well as the WD back-up drives and a large collection of notebooks (I’m a serial collector) there is also my gorgeous Eames DAR chair. I love my hidden work station as when I want it to be it can be the hub of my day, and then when I want to forget about it, I simply slide the keyboard away, shut the cupboard doors and its out of my mind! It also means I can work if I need to around my family, and this is very important to me. So I introduce you to a little insight into where I spend alot of my day…..

A posh lunch {Fetcham Park, Surrey, wedding photography}

A couple of weeks ago I was invited to attend a lunch with some of the wedding industry’s leading suppliers at my second home (well it’s starting to feel that way!) – the stunning Fetcham Park. A truly spectacular wedding venue. I was honoured! It was great to see some familiar faces and to meet new ones and chat about what 2012 had in store for us, and – of course – I couldn’t wait to turn my lens to the glorious visual delights of the house, the table setup and the floral displays.

The very classy invitation by Sugalily

The incredible chandelier and ceiling in Fetcham’s Salon, and the stunning floral displays created for the day by FairyNuff Flowers that were situated in the Shell Room

Snowy walk {photography, Surrey}

I couldn’t resist – a rare morning free from little ones when we have just had snow, and a beautiful winter wonderland outside my front door – I had to get out for a little walk with my camera. It was particularly amazing today as the snow had clung to the trees and plants but seemed to be clear on the ground. I wish I knew a bit more about the different types of snow! Here’s a few pictures mainly taken with my 50mm and a few macro shots – hope you enjoy!
