Christmas Magic

This is a shoot not to be missed!

Step inside your favourite Christmas movie and head down to the Christmas Tree lot for a magic experience and create incredible family memories. That is where I am taking you.

THE SHOOTS ARE NOT WEATHER DEPENDANT AS THEY ARE UNDERCOVER IN A BARN

"Imagine you all jump into your 1962 Cream VW Beetle with a gorgeous cream and brown leather interior and a California number plate. Drive on down to G.E. Jones Farms Christmas Tree lot. Make some hot chocolate and toast marshmallows on an open fire.

You put the little kids into an authentic retro Radio Flyer wagon and go pick your perfect tree and tie it onto the top of your car with candy stripe rope. You choose some decorations - some with classic Americana vibes like Coca-Cola and Mickey and Minnie Mouse - and you and the kids get to help decorate one of the trees. The kids then add a North Pole stamp to their letters to Santa and drop them in a US Mail postbox.

The little ones also get to ride a Radio Flyer trike and red hobby horse. If you need there are ice skates and a toboggan available too.

Could it be more magical?"

Doing good while making memories

Photographs are a gift that can last generations and are not a throwaway consumer good. These photos can be used year on year as part of your Christmas decorations and as treasured gifts.

The property where the shoots take place is run in the most eco friendly way possible and they have been responsible for planting an entire woodland, it is also a multi use environment. The cut Christmas trees will be used by multiple photographers and come from a local tree farm. The foliage on the wreaths is sourced on the property. The wood used for the fire pit comes from the property. The majority of my props and outfits for styling have been sourced second hand, borrowed or hand made. These props will all be returned, reused, sold on or donated - not dumped. The VW Beetle I have hired is from one town away. I use quality equipment and purchase second hand whenever I can and purchase only when I really need it. I hire equipment for short term use. I use Adobe software for all my editing and they have a strong corporate responsibility program. I work with photography students and offer them experiential work on my shoots as assistants. I offer batch dates for ordering prints to reduce the impact and cost of shipping. I work with responsible, top quality labs.

I keep my prices low and create opportunities for those who can't afford full sessions to access affordable portrait sessions. I work with other small businesses to create collaborative opportunities. I work from home or from shared spaces. I don't have a studio and rather rent community spaces to use when needed or shoot outdoors.

I am covered by personal liability insurance.
