Vamped By Trans1
In October 2008, an artist who goes by the name of Trans1 was inspired by my gorgeous face (below) to paint an entire wall somewhere in London for Halloween. Unfortunately, I don’t know much about this wonderful and talented artist, but he does do other vampire portraits. To view them and his other work, please visit his website http://www.trans1.co.uk

Favourite Horror Portrait of 2011
My favourite horror portrait of 2011 features Melanie from the North West in England.
It was so much fun meeting Melanie who was dressed as a Burlesque vampire and although the one pictured above wasn’t Melanie’s favourite, it sure is mine. I like the pose and facial expressions. Melanie chose another portrait for her large poster print and if you would like to pose, click here for more information.
Cemetery Photography–Frozen Mary
This cemetery photograph of a frozen Mary statue is my favourite photograph of 2011.
It was painfully cold one January morning when I decided to pay the local cemetery a visit and I was captivated by the frozen cobwebs hanging off her frosted hands.
I love the craftsmanship of the statue as the robes actually look stiff like cardboard due to the freezing conditions and her poor bare feet upon that rock, but there she stands for decades or possibly a century?
To finish off this photograph, I love the other lone statue you can see in the background and don’t the two of them stand out against the boring modern headstones of today?

Portrait Photography Mother and Child
I’ve just found these photographs I took in the summer of my lovely daughter Kerry and my granddaughter Holly.
I think family portrait photography is special if you get it right and normally I hate posed for photos, but the first one of Kerry and Holly is really nice.
I attempted child portrait photography for the first time on Sunday just gone as I took some photos for my sister, who wanted them to look very professional. Click here to see those photographs. I found that a photographer has to have a lot of patience for photographing children and they have to be having fun. The photograph of Holly below is a snap shot, in fact, all of them here are snap shots, but there’s something I like about this one, even though she’s looking at the ground.
Finally, I’m getting this one printed for the living room wall. I just adore this photograph because it shows how close they are and it’s not posed for.
Coming up in a couple of weeks, a friend of mine has booked my photography services to photograph her children who range from the age of 6 to 21. You will have to wait and see how I get on with that, but I’ve already had suggestions that I should pose them like the Addams Family haha! I would love to, but I don’t think my friend would like that.
