Hertfordshire baby portraits | Samuel Michael Morgan joins the Lynch clan

At 8.17am on Wednesday 30th July 2009, Samuel Michael Morgan Lynch came quietly into the world. Weighing 8lbs he becomes the heaviest newborn of the three boys my wife has now produced (produced-why do I make that sound like some sort of magic trick?).

So that makes three boys. Wow! He now joins Nathan (6yrs) and Jamie (almost 5yrs) in our quest to form a 5-aside football team. Only kidding!

Here is a shot taken whilst he is only a few hours old, and I will add that he is the image of his older brother.

This is Samuel at two weeks! I have gone for something a little more 'arty' here.


Not sure which I prefer so here is the original colour version too.

Coltsfoot Country Retreat, Hertfordshire wedding photography | Kirsty and James

It was a pleasure to photograph Kirsty and Jimmy's wedding day at Coltsfoot Country Retreat, near Datchworth. This is a secluded little venue that is only a stones throw from my home. It is lovely to shoot a local wedding after weeks of travelling out of the county.

They were recommended to me by a friend of theirs who's wedding I photographed last year. The weather was great with a mixture of bright sunshine and cloud, so I was able to get a few different looks to the images of the happy couple. The emphasis was on cool and casual and I think that we achieved that!

Here are a few from the day. Hope you like them guys!

I really enjoyed taking these next few images and the lighting was perfect for the effect I was after.
