Met the very lovely Rory Robertson when working with Battlefront and was lucky enough to go along and photograph his dads wedding garden party. Don't think I've ever met so many lovely jubly people in one sitting. Felt totally part of the family. Great afternoon spent with some wonderful people!

Felix Kong is a dude. Fact. Great afternoon photographing down Brick Lane followed by a curry...nice! He's worked for years in an industry he's had great success in, but has given it all up to follow his dream of becoming an actor. He's already appeared in Sea Patrol (as his first gig!!!! High 5!!!) Am sure he will do really well, drive and passion always gets you somewhere!

Urban Physic Garden was the intimate and romantic setting for a beautiful evening of music, food and most importantly raising money for Cancer research. The event was sponsored by Grey Goose, in which cocktails were flowing aplenty, and delicious food was served by 'The Ramblings' restaurant. Met some wonderful people, and was blown away by the talent of 'Aurora' two very beautiful and talented classical/opera singers Amelia Knight and Cecelia De Listle. www.aurorasounds.com and www.physicgarden.org.uk

Maggie founded Maggie Semple Limited to coincide with the publication of her book ‘Women, Fashion, Stories’ and now uses the concept behind the book to run ‘Semple Secrets’ a series of conversations with inspirational women from a diverse range of fields.

A while ago I photographed such an event with Louise Chunn, the editor of Psychologies Magazine. Formerly editor of the Guardian Woman's page, Good Housekeeping, Instyle and deputy editor of Vogue. She also worked at Elle and ES magazine.

Louise revealed her most treasured item of clothing along with the story that came with it. Other women also shared their items of clothing and their stories.

I met three very inspirational people yesterday, all fighting for a wonderful campaign called Sign up, Speak up, Save lives. It's all about organ donation, and getting as many people to join the organ donation register. Abby and Hope are at the centre of the campaign, who had siblings in need. They were lucky, but many people aren't as fortunate. That's why they're wanting to get the word out, and get people talking about it. To help this, yesterday, they were met by the very lovely Alexandra Burke, in which the campaign is very close to her heart. Some of you may know, her mother has been on the waiting list for a kidney since 2008. She talked of her experience with the girls and vice versa, all very touching. Here are some pics from the interview yesterday, for more info please visit the Battlefront website and check back to watch the video: http://www.battlefront.co.uk/videos/video/sign-speak-save-lives

The Dixons :) This photo is OLD but definitely one of my favourites! Being 3 or 4, this was taken 20 years ago....yikes!

Received a skype call from my parents in Oz saying I had a new little brother....ummmm what??? Shock and confusion. Definitely way, way, WAY too old to be having another?? Then my dad showed me the picture and it all made sense. Definitely offended them with me thinking they're ancient....

I had known for a few years they had wanted to sponsor a child, and now they finally have :)

Introducing the newest member of the Dixon clan; Savio!!!!!

Would love to meet the fella one day. How cool is he!

Thanks to a hunk of beef given to me by the very lovely Michelle Wood, a magnificent roast dinner feast was made at the Perran Palace (note - we don't actually live in a palace)

Little Rosalita out the window :) Sarah and myself got rather excited and brought the dining room outside, while getting out the christmas fairy lights, and every candle we could find!

Cody was in charge of the drinks and his special little drinks table, we started off with the best Pimms concision I've ever had, followed by some delicious wines.

Michelle Wood I definitely overcooked it :( left it to rest for WAY too long, but still yummy!

Rosy cooked yorkshire pudding for the first time, delicious!!!!!!!!! Gravy was also a first for us!

The lovely Holly came and joined the Perran palace clan, we were treated to some singing talents by herself and Cody on the TPain app....wow.....and of course it all ended with some drawn on moustaches.

Was the assistant photographer to the lovely Emma for Michelle and Mark's wedding in Kent. Love assisting as I get the opportunity to hang back a bit, and capture the quieter moments. As you can tell loved the kids, who I literally could have photographed all day! A truly wonderful couple, head over heels for each other and for their kids...awwwww!

'Ripen our Darkness' by Sarah Daniels
Julie: Clare Juliette
Anna: Holly Grace

Julie and Anna are caught in a turbulent relationship. Both of the women were once ruled by the men in their life and this now stains the way they love each other. Julie, an abrasive and abrupt young woman, is focused on bringing down the Open University. Blind-sided by her feminism, Julie's hate for the University's patriarchal system grinds on Anna's nerves. Anna, a primary school teacher, wants to freely giver herself to Julie, however, she feels trapped and unable to do so until she receives blessing from her Christian mother. Wrapped inside their own worlds of guilt and control, the two try to come to peace with their relationship.

Had a challenging shoot photographing for the Eb & Ive collection doing the studio product shots and also the location imagery. It was stressful and amazing all mixed together! Massive thanks to Lotus who was my styling help and also hand model! Let me tell you, styling these products to make them look like someones casually left them all lying around, is VERY difficult! However the outcome was great, and I learnt a lot! www.ebandive.com.au

Really enjoyed photographing this Ad for Barebone Barber's product; Uppercut Deluxe, the brief was Jail house, which Luke Newman helped set the scene by whipping up some great graphic backdrops and name cards, however turns out the backdrops looked better in Post production.
