It was such a pleasure to take newborn photographs of Scarlett last week. She really is a beautiful baby.  I just wanted to share a couple of the pictures from the session.

 

 

Bristol Family Portrait Session: Another happy customer! - February 21st, 2012

“Fran recently did a family shoot with my six month old baby. I was a little unsure of where in our house we could get good photos but she completely took charge and has a real eye for location. Having the shoot at home has made our phots so much more special. She even snuck in a few photos of our family dog which my husband was thrilled with! Fran is so friendly and fun that there was no awkwardness at all and we had so much fun with it. I’m looking forward to doing it all again next year…” Cathy Shay Palmer

 

 

Bristol Family Portrait Session: A lovely review I wanted to share. - February 16th, 2012

“Fran is a class act. From the genuine warmth and friendliness of her approach, to the stylish end product, and quick turnaround time, Fran’s photography is wonderful in every regard. Fran even managed to make me and my husband look good (no mean feat given the raw material she had to work with!) and got some beautiful shots of our 2 year old, even though he was in a very uncooperative mood. Thanks to Fran’s hard work and talent, we now have a set of beautiful photographs of our family which will be treasured for many years to come. I can’t recommend Fran highly enough, and only wish that I had come across her sooner. ” Sarah Maddox

Jojo Maman Bebe Facebook Feature! - October 27th, 2011

It was really nice to do an Autumn family shoot in St Georges park in Bristol recently with Nicki and her daughter Milly.

Little Milly was wearing one of Jojo Maman Bebe’s gorgeous baby grows so I couldn’t resist to send them in to them to show them how great she looked. I was delighted when I saw them featured on there facebook page.

 

Photos for the Little Wedding Helper - October 25th, 2011

On a sunny afternoon last month I spent a lovely afternoon with Kirsten who runs “The Little Wedding Helper” taking pictures of all the fantastic objects and details she uses to style bespoke weddings in Bristol and the surrounding area.  She has fantastic taste and if I had known about her earlier I would have got her to style my wedding! It was particularly nice to see the pictures we took featured in last months Bristol Folio Magazine. I hope we get to work together again in the future!

 

 

 

Welcome to my new blog! - October 10th, 2011

It seems only fitting to start this brand new blog by announcing the arrival of our son Oscar Paul Tolson. The last two months have been an incredible journey and I am loving every second of getting to know him. I have even squeezed in a couple of newborn shoots over the last month which Oscar has been kind enough to come along on.

It has been a such a busy year photographing weddings and families in Bristol and beyond and I can’t wait to share some of the images with you over the coming months as well as some of the other projects I have been involved in.

Last Saturday I photographed Stuart and Debbie’s beautiful wedding at Goldbrick House in Bristol. I know they have some truly stunning wedding pictures as they were complete naturals in front of the camera, I can’t wait to edit them! Here is a sneak peak to keep you going.
