I do a lot of voluntary work for St Philips and St James' Church in Leckhampton, Cheltenham. I've worked with Nick, the vicar, many times, previously capturing shots of their Harvest Festival Service, Crib Service as well as publicity shots for their Christmas cards.

When Nick approached me on this occasion it was for something a little bit different. To help raise funds for their big roof appeal, they are to launch a recipe book based on the idea of recycling and reusing wasted and unwanted food. I was more than happy to help with the photography. The book is to launch just before Christmas. I hope to have a copy in the coming months which I can share with you all. In the mean time, here are a few of the photos from the shoot.

Myself, my husband and two children enjoy the family services that take place on the first Sunday of each month at the Church. It's refreshing to feel so warmly welcomed with the little ones laughing, screaming and shouting, which is actively encouraged throughout the service!
