Jungle Jim at Godolphin School for Lucy's Days Out

We were at Godolphin School on the 25th September for the Lucy's Days Out children's party with Jungle Jim.

Jungle Jim is very funny and his animals are just brilliant. The kids, and adults, had a great time with cake and juice being served at the interval and lots of toys, games and LDO merchandise available for purchase.

Another brilliant event put together by the Lucy's Days Out event team.

Lucy's Days Out Balloon Launch at Salisbury Cathedral

On the 23rd September, the first anniversary of the date Lucy lost her battle against “Rhabdomyosarcoma” a solid inoperable tumor in her head, Julie, Steve and their family along with the LDO event team and many of her school friends came together to mark the event with a balloon launch in the grounds of Salisbury Cathedral.

We were there to record the event and join in on what was a time of mixed emotions for everyone.

Taylor's 1st Birthday

Another portrait shoot from September. The gorgeous Taylor is the daughter of Natasha and Steve whose wedding I photographed back in 2009. I was very honoured to be asked to do a family portrait on the day before her 1st Birthday in a park local to their home.

When we do a wedding it is always nice to hear the lovely comments about the images and how we worked on the day, etc. but it is not until you are called back to photograph another special event in their life that you can really appreciate that you did a good enough job that they want you again.

Lucy's Days Out All-Stars v Salisbury City FC 1st XI

Salisbury City FC played host to a special event, in support of local charity Lucy’s Days Out. Lucy was a local girl who very sadly lost a long battle with cancer after battling the illness for many years. She was only six years old when she was diagnosed. You can find out more about Lucy, and her wish to set up a charity to help provide children living with cancer with fun days out, by visiting the the Lucy’s Days Out website.

England Star Peter Shilton was there to offer advice and support to the LDO team and to have his picture taken with the teams and supporters of the event. We were there for the day to capture the event for the charity as well as provide printed images of supporters which Peter then signed.

The LDO team put up a good fight but the Salisbury 1st team were a little too strong coming out 15-1 winners.
