Julie managed to coax the injured Simon away from the cricket field for a very brief jaunt back to her hometown and Contempo caught up with them in the beautiful Jesmond Dene.

Good luck with the rest of the plans guys,  looking forward to seeing you both in October.

Kristin from Contempo has just become an uncle. Gorgeous Hollie was born on 10th June 2010. Congratulations to Craig and Laura on the safe arrival of their beautiful little girl. I think that my camera may get a little more action in my Brother’s household sometime soon!

The Smith family invited Contempo to shoot their family in a lovely location on Northumberland. Just at the back of their house in Cresswell was a lovely beach. So nice weather, a fun filled family and what do you get? A great set of images, showing off a lovely family (and their dog!)

Location: Cresswell, Northumberland

Model(s): The Smith Family

Following the success of their leaving do shoot, the Broderick family asked Contempo to shoot some relaxed family portraits by the beach in Tynemouth to keep with them on their travels. The weather gods smiled on us which was a good job as we had a whole 3 days to get the shots in the can before they left for Oz! Good Luck guys, hope you have a fab adventure.

Lady Woodford and I met in the centre of Newcastle-upon-Tyne for a fashion shoot. Here are a selection of my favourite images from the shoot.

Location: Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Model: Leanne Woodford

Thanks Leanne, you really made the shoot great fun.

Can I wish all of our web visitors and clients a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to you all. Hope to see you some time in 2010!

Here is a photo of gorgeous Isobel – check out the ninja eyes! Shot in natural daylight just after bath time

Kristin had the pleasure of going along to one of Mark Cleghorn’s monkey busines seminars where with 2 free models to shoot, managed to rattle off a few frames with these lovely women. Great fun and models were fantastic!
