Newcastle photographer. Family photography Jesmond Dene, Saltwell Park

I am, along with most of the northeast of England in tier 3 which means I will not be returning to my normal schedule of photoshoots from the 2nd December. I have so much anxiety about coronavirus which has severely affected my mental health and I've rarely left the house since going back into lockdown. Having an underlying health condition I feel I have to protect my mental health and my physical health.

Not only that, I would be encouraging non-essential travel which is strictly prohibited in tier 3 so I cannot in all good conscience risk a fine for my business, I will not break the law or indeed take decisions which could negatively impact upon your health.

This is a devastating piece of news for my business, my mental health and for the future but when we look ahead at 2021 we will surely have sunshine, vaccines and a return to normality.

Please think about purchasing someone a 2021 voucher and I in return will reward you with the most beautiful photographs you can cherish always. I will understand if you can't though so no pressure, just love!
