Colchester Essex Newborn Photography by Charlie Alexander from Farlie Photography What a pleasure this was to visit Vicki and her beautiful and newly expanded family. It’s always such a special time for any family when they welcome a new baby home but an extra special pleasure for me when one such Mummy is a friend […]
Colchester Autumn Family Photoshoot Abbey Fields, Colchester for this day of Autumn photoshoots… What a day! Round after round of familiar faces, funnily enough they were all either past clients or clients who are booked in for weddings that are coming up and home nice to see them all again! Some of these kids I […]
Potters Hill, over Woolacombe Bay, North Devon at sunset. This actually happened on our summer trip to Devon with all of this other chaos on this post. But it was such a quiet and peaceful little moment away from all the noise and energy of the rest the trip it felt like it had set […]
Oh it’s so so hard not to spew a thousand cliches about Autumnal cosiness and romance up those snuggly mustard knits hunched over steaming mugs. But those fire colours and muddy boots are my favourite. I hate to see summer leave us but Autumn really does know how to sugar that pill doesn’t it? Not […]
Family Photography Frinton, Essex There isn’t a thing I didn’t completely love about this session. These wild hearted girls thrilled to be out and enjoying the last of the just-about-warm-enough-without-a-coat weather of 2020. That rogue Frinton sea front roaring, chasing the tide to the steps. Playing games. Finding beach relics in the sand. Selecting what […]
West Mersea Essex Wedding Photographer When West Mersea delivers such a stonking good sunset for your engagement shoot, you wish you’d brought the three of you some beers and blanket. Seeing as I didn’t have those with me we took some pictures instead! What an evening! “The first stab of love is like a sunset, […]
Last year (or early this year) it took me until we were contemplating our winter get away to kick me up the bum and get my summer holiday photos edited and archived away to the “I’ll be grateful I found time for this one day but right now it’s a right pain in the arse” […]
Newborn Lifestyle Photographer, Suffolk If 2020 is the year we stayed home then I am thrilled to be capturing the cosy, contented loveliness of it in these homes blessed with brand new humans. There’s something so so precious about the feeling of a home where a newborn lives. The lull of a heavy tiredness that […]
Relaxed Wedding Photographer in Essex Strolling along the Wivenhoe trail near the Essex coast with this easy breezy pair of lovers in the late summer golden hour glow. Engaged, wedding planning in the pandemic and the pair of them quite literally saving the world in their day jobs. Well if you can smile, dance and […]
This is the wedding of Camille & Fred. Who in spite of it all or perhaps because of it all, pulled together this most beautiful and elegant of wedding days at Pembroke Lodge, London in the gorgeous glowy early Autumnal English sun. They flew their core celebration crew in from all over the globe. With […]
Relaxed, fun family photographer, Farlie Photography in East Mersea, Essex. I remember that feeling when summer started and I was so sure it would be transformative. I was always certain I was going in to something that would change me. I always lived in the middle of nowhere and so it really was a form […]
Here is my first ever attempt at a self portrait. I am told this processing is one of layers, that each exploit in self portraiture is to peel a layer from yourself and that each layer is difficult but worthwhile. The process is inexplicably hard. Judging your work with yourself as the subject is hard. […]
