The City in Black and White session went great today. The last photo I took is hands down my favourite photo from the day. The light is the reflection off the glass building next to it which is out of this world beautiful.

As I was walking to the bus stop a few mins ago I was loving the shapes this tree was throwing in the sea fret. Lent itself beautifully to some black and white photography, making me excited for my "City in Black and White" session at the weekend. First fully booked session in a long time and definitely looking forward to it.
This is just on my phone, so I challenge you to go out this morning before it lifts and see what you can do with it.

Why would a photographer want an old bike the no one else wants? Light painting magic!
Basically, I'm keeping the wheels and donating the rest to a local charity that do up bikes for their spares and repairs.

Waterstones on Blackett Street is hands down my favourite building in Newcastle upon Tyne city centre. However is wasn't always my favourite bookshop and when it was built by Frank West Rick in 1903, it was the home of the Union Club, a gentleman’s club for Newcastle’s elite.

Waterstones is an example of some of the most beautiful architecture of the Edwardian period. It features classic elements such as ornament stonework and large arched windows.

The best way to photograph architecture like Waterstones is to focus on the facade. You want to go wide enough to get the full building within the frame while also avoiding barrel distortion to capture the entire facade, emphasizing its grand scale and symmetry. A great technique to use is a panoramic technique. With your camera in landscape, start from the bottom of the building and move up. You can merge the images within the desktop version of Adobe Lightroom or in Photoshop.

Which building would you like me to photograph next?

Looking forward to heading into town on Saturday to wander around taking photos of some of my favourite historical buildings.

But if you'd like to know which my favourite building is, you'll have to book onto the session on Saturday.

The session Costa £26 per person. To book on please head to the Newcastle Photography Group website.

Just before meeting the guys on today's session, I spotted this beautiful dude just chilling on the other side of the bit of straight between lakes. I've had one of these dudes on my bucket list for a while. Harrington Park is definitely a great spot for some beautiful birds. I really need to spend a full day there at some point.

What do you do when the weather turns on you? Find something fun to take photos of while staying dry. Water drops can be really difficult. It's all about timing as well as getting the right settings. Crazy fast shutter of 2500/1, 1600ISO, and f7.2, all to freeze all the droplets of water.

This is the last photo my much loved Nikon D7100 took just over a year ago at Marsden before it face dived into the sea when I was taken out by two side swiping waves from opposite directions. And what a photo to go out on. So thankful for house insurance. Next week we're going back. If you'd like to join me on this session, we will be there at 2pm on Sunday 8th. During the session you'll learn the basics of seascape photography and even learn how to take these beautiful milky water photos without the nose dive.

To join us, please head to the Newcastle Photography Group website. The session costs £26 per person. Hope to see you there.

It's days like these that I really love my job. I reworked some photos from the night we saw the lights so I could use AI noise reduction and really think about the colours, and they are amazing! Now on my bucket list of things I'd love to do is winter in Iceland. Better get saving.

On Saturday we'll be heading into Saltwell Park to finish off the spring. If you have a macro lens, this is one to come to as we'll be focusing on flowers and the various bugs that are starting to appear. But don't worry if you don't have a macro lens, there are some tricks we can do with our kit lens. We'll also do a little landscape photography of the stunning gardens around the park.

If you'd like to come along, please head to the Newcastle Photography Group website. The session costs £24 per person.

It's days like this that I really love my job. Strong east wind whipping up the water beautifully meaning we're able to get images like this. We mostly hung around Charlie's garden today, doing a combination of long and short exposures. This is hands down my favourite from today.

Tomorrow we're heading out on a coastal photography walk. 5 people booked on so far, so still plenty of room. We'll be focusing on good composition techniques and learning how to capture the movement of the water. The great news is not only do we have a high tide, but we also have an east wind with good weather which means we'll have choppy waters.
We'll be meeting at St Paul's church next to the bridge going over Seaton Burn at 2pm. Well walk the coast path starting from Seaton Sluice, heading up towards St Mary's Lighthouse.
If you'd like to join us, please head to the Newcastle Photography Group website to book on. The session costs £24 per person.
Hope you see you there!

Newcastle has some of the oldest architecture in the North East, getting its name from Newcastle Castle (Castle Keep) shortly after the Norman Conquest of 1066. During this session we will be exploring some of the oldest structures within Newcastle's city centre and quayside, including Newcastle Cathedral where this is taken. Hopefully we'll be able to go inside if there isn't a ticketed event on.
This session is tailored for all photographers from beginner to intermediate with all cameras welcome, including mobile phones.
If you'd like to come along with us on February 27th, please head to the Newcastle Photography Group website to book on. The session costs £24 per person. Hope to see you there.

Our Story

Hello! My name is Jenny and I’m a family photographer based in Gateshead. I’ve tried many styles of photography over the years from Wedding photography to Headshot photography, but hands down my favourite of all is family photography. I love meeting and hanging out with families of all shapes and sizes, and going on Adventures with them. My Adventure Day concept comes from hanging out with one of my closet friends and her son every Wednesday after our church parent and toddler group, then called Little Stars, now re-branded with the new leader, Little Village, and we would ask the bairn where he would like to go on an adventure today. And so, Adventure Days have been born!
