Meet Luca, one of the youngest members of my extended Italian family. A cheeky little boy with the most irresistible grin! I really enjoyed following him around at one of his favourite haunts in Palermo. There was no stopping him!

Autumn is at the door, and after an extraordinarily busy summer, I am really looking forward to some glorious Autumn sessions! Autumn is a fantastic season for outdoors location photography – the colours are as warm and alive as no other time of the year.

Only one appointment is still available for September, and I am currently taking bookings for October. Availability is limited, so get in touch now to book your spot!

Urban Fashion Shoot on London’s South BankLondon, Hampshire, Berkshire Fashion Portrait Photography

admin0 — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 21:08:01 +0000

Yesterday I tried out some new equipment with my beautiful friend A. We went down to the South Bank and took advantage of London’s unique cityscape to craft some punchy urban portraits.

Working alongside a swarm of curious tourists on a balmy spring day did present some challenges, but we came away with exactly what we wanted!

If you like what you see here, and would like to have your portraits taken in this style, I am available for urban on-location shoots at a wide range of locations in the South East and London. Get in touch to discuss any ideas you may have!

Outdoors fun, waiting for spring to arriveBasingstoke, Hampshire, Berkshire Family and Children’s Lifestyle Photographer

This weekend’s shoot was with little T and B, whom I’ve had the pleasure of photographing before. The weather is now getting milder after the cold snap. After being cooped in for a week both the children and the parents were only too glad to go for a walk in the countryside and observe the first signs of spring appearing here and there. The children saw that the geese have returned from their winter holidays along with the first snowdrops and crocuses of the season. We all enjoyed the first hint of warm spring sunshine!

Here are some sneak previews for the wonderful A family!

Snowed In & All Snowed Out! Basingstoke, Hampshire, Berkshire Family and Children’s Lifestyle Photographer

2009 will go on record as one of the snowiest ever here in South East England. Schools were closed, roads covered in ice, cars buried under heaps and heaps of floury white snow. And most of all, children building snowmen and having snowball fights at every street corner!

My little G was no exception. We ventured out together for a snow walk and had a great time frolicking in the snow together. She thought the snow tasted delicious and she made a mean snow angel

Sunshine on a rainy dayCristina Barton Contemporary Portraiture, Basingstoke, Hampshire, Berkshire Family and Children’s Photographer

Last weekend, the H family and I took a leisurely stroll in the park to capture some natural portraits of their gorgeous little 1-year-old boy, Mr O. We were very lucky – after a couple of days of near continuous rain, we had a break in the weather and enjoyed a morning of winter sunshine – my favourite lighting of all. Mr O had a great time running around – and by the end of it he couldn’t help but fall fast asleep (much to the delight of Mum and Dad)!

Thanks guys, it was a real pleasure to meet you – here are a few favourites from the session!

A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure to shoot beautiful teen sisters S and C. We had a great time taking urban shots in Central Basingstoke, and some more nature orientated ones in Eastrop Park. The girls were quite shy at first, but they soon realised that having their picture taken can be great fun – although I was often asked by Miss C to make sure there was no-one looking, just in case there were any of her friends around
