If you follow my work, you’ll know that I love the beach.  I shoot regularly on my local beaches in the Vale of Glamorgan but there’s nothing like discovering a new beach!

I recently spent the weekend in Saundersfoot, Pembrokeshire, staying at the St Bride’s Spa Hotel with one of my oldest friends. The hotel is fantastic and set in the most beautiful surroundings with the most amazing views of the town and the beach.

We enjoyed spending time in the spa and then treated ourselves to an Aperol Spritz on the balcony of our room before heading down for dinner.

The next day was a typical January day – low grey clouds in the sky and a bit damp, but it also felt pretty serene and calm too. I had my camera with me, so we headed down to the beach for a walk and a mini photo shoot.

I’ve known Sheila for over 20 years, we’ve travelled around the world together, lived in different cities together and spent countless hours talking non-stop. I’ve got photos of her from when we were hanging out at university in Leeds, exploring the East Coast of Australia, travelling around South America and spending weekends in the Cotswolds. I’ve done a couple’s shoot, maternity shoot and family shoot with her and now it’s time for some shots for her. Just because.

Presenting my beautiful friend Sheila.
