Thanks very much to Rebecca today for supporting my portrait photography sessions, which are raising money for Bowel Cancer UK / Beating Bowel Cancer, the UK's leading bowel cancer charity. Guildford University was the venue for today's photographs.
Now that Spring is upon us, now is the perfect time to think about having some photos done. For the photo sessions I am offering two options. The standard portrait session will cost £25. I will travel to you, and take your family photos (pets included) in an outdoor setting. Included in the cost will be a link to the photos, which you will then be able to download, edit and print off to your own requirements.
The deluxe family photography session will cost £35. I will travel to you, and take your family photos (pets included) in an outdoor setting. I will edit the photos to your satisfaction. You will be able to choose two photos 8"x10" (or smaller if you wish) which will then be printed off and sent to you. Also included in the cost will be a link to the photos, which you will then be able to download, edit and print off to your own requirements.
I live in Berkshire, so any local setting is good. However I am happy to travel pretty much anywhere to take the photos, although long distance trips will have to be arranged at a mutually convenient time, and location to make them viable. All proceeds raised will be donated to the charity.
Since I launched this idea last year, I have done a wedding, a 50th birthday, and a number of portrait photo sessions. All of these have contributed to my fundraising total, which taking into account everything that is available to buy on my website, now stands at £3750.

My Mum was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2012, and this very soon became stage 4 when it spread to her left lung. Over the course of four and half years she had five major operations, and also CyberKnife treatment when the cancer spread to her brain. She passed away on August 29th 2016.
April is bowel cancer awareness month. 41,000 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer in the UK, and 16,000 people are lost to bowel cancer each year. It is the second highest cancer killer, and yet if detected early it can be successfully treated in over 90% of cases. Less than 10% of patients detected at an advanced stage (stage 4) survive for more than five years. Only 15% of patients are diagnosed at the crucial early stage (stage 1), so there is plenty of room for improvement.
