Two Thousand and Ten
Finally my tax returns are done - a hard slog this year as my computer decided to delete my only specific memories of 2009-2010 when the clock hit 00:00:01 on January 1st 2011. Annoying. So now I break my yearly resolution of never making a resolution and pledge to keep a handwritten diary AND my computer calendar account so I don’t forget my life and rely so much on technology. With that all out of the way, I can now sort out my photo blog on last year - two thousand and ten. With few words and many pictures, after all, I am a photographer and I love the visual.
LIVE MUSIC & PROMOS
A great mix of music genres, so much fun – some signed bands, some unsigned and a few that have been on my “hitlist” photography wise for a long time! Here’s just a few of the bands and artists worked with this year:

In March I started working with Rotosound as their UK based photographer
PORTRAITS
I ran a photo shoot offer at the beginning of the year for those ladies that wanted to have some pretty pictures without the hefty price tag. A great response, made some great new friends and all very diverse ideas for shoots. Check a few of the pics out…

DOLLS ‘N’ DIVAS
I started the 2nd project of my brand Dolls ‘n’ Divas in January; a 2011 Calendar (for those of you that bought it will have it hanging on your wall in your home, uni room or office somewhere, thank you for your support!). Calendars have shipped to USA, UK, France, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands & Australia - I’ve been amazed!
It features 12 locations, girls and gorgeous outfits. I had such a fabulous team of hair and makeup artists also. They rocked it.
Interviews and features in Dominion/Terrorizer Magazine, Devolution Magazine, On the Road with Sophie K and Pure Rawk. The Calendar launched at the London Tattoo Convention at the Tobacco Dock.
