It's been a busy two or three months leading to a very delayed 'Best of 2017'. I almost considered leaving it until 2018 but there were so many lovely moments in the last year that I thought it was worth popping them up even if they are a little late. Thank you to all those who have appeared through the lens of the de la Mare camera this year! Weddings...Starting with a stunning Couple's shoot for Simon and Bethany in January, following their London wedding, this year's weddings have been a joy! There's a couple in here too of Tom and Hannah's stunning Graphistudio album that arrived this year. Congratulations one and all. Floral and Fauna...It's hard categorising photos - a few in here could fit into the lovely people section, just they aren't people! Getting out and about or shooting pets in the studio were some of the highlights of 2017, with another successful Pet Week in Angel Square and lots of opportunities for capturing nature. Businesses and Organisations...It's been such a pleasure to work with lots of different local businesses and organisations again this year including the beautiful work of mj cabinetmakers, a stunning fashion collection, work for the wonderful Ullswater Community College (including a little bit of Joey Essex) and Eden Boutique and a project for Hospice at Home's 20th anniversary including a visit from The Duchess of Gloucester. If you don't know about Hospice at Home, please check out their website - it's a wonderful charity. Sessions with some lovely people...Really, it's all about people. Thank you to all of these people who spent a little portion of their 2017 with me as we preserved a few memories together.

My name is Leanne and these are my close up images of a rocking chair from MJ cabinet makers. Day 1 work experience.I know 'Photos of the Year' type posts are meant to be limited to a small amount of shots (I have a great deal of respect for photographers who can choose 10!) but I've gone for a smaller amount of shots in a variety of categories! 2015 has been a fun and varied year with lots of exciting and beautiful things to capture. Spring and summer seemed particularly long this year and so there were more opportunities for outdoor photos. I also had the great joy of becoming an Aunt too (my new nephew Eli makes an appearance below). To all who I've had the privilege of working with this last year, thank you! Weddings... Some lovely locations locally and further down the country (a beautifully sunny Bristol!). Congratulations to all this years couples x Flora and Fauna...As ever, its a real pleasure to live in Cumbria with easy access to the Lakes. There were also some new (furry) additions to the residents at Dalemain Mill that will probably mean that next year's 'fav photos' will feature less birds! Local Businesses and Organisations...Thanks to Creations Hair and Beauty Salon, MJ Cabinetmakers, Eden Boutique, and The Rendezvous Restaurant for some fantastic sessions this year. As always, it's been great to work with Ullswater Community College again this year and join in with all the wonderful things they do. Sessions with some lovely people... Thanks to all the lovely people I've spent time with this year - I look forward to seeing some of you again soon! And of course, welcome to Eli! Hospice at Home... Lastly... a little splash of colour at two Hospice at Home Colour Runs. If you weren't involved this last year and live in Cumbria I'd definitely recommend signing up for the Carlisle or Penrith event. As you can see, it's amazingly fun! There may or may not be a film show reel of the year too but just in case - a belated Happy New Year! Here's to an equally wonderful 2016
Between one thing and another I've managed to get very behind on blog updates for the last 6 months or so. As a lover of lists, I have lots of them! However no amount of lists can actually blog for you! With my work at UCC quietening down for the summer, I'm hoping to catch up. It's been a busy period with a lot of fun things. One such thing has been continuing working with the lovely team at MJ Cabinetmakers. I can't commend them or their work enough and it was a pleasure to photograph many of their items - small and large - over the last few months. They've recently opened a new showroom at their premises near Bassenthwaite and it's well worth the visit. Here are a couple from their beautiful winter exhibition: More recently I popped to an amazingly stunning location in the Lakes to shoot one of MJ's dining tables. The design and production of the table was created to fit the shape and feel of the room. Simply gorgeous. Check out their website at www.mjcabinetmakers.co.uk.
A very quick round up of a wonderful year - thanks to all those involved! Time with some lovely people...Great opportunities working with local businesses... Great times at UCC again this year... Some beautiful flora and fauna...And lastly, a great weekend away with the family in Fort William... Thanks for a great 2014!
A quick blog - check out the footage we took at MJ Cabinetmakers' Christmas Exhibition. Very festive and gorgeous stuff!
