Paula is the founder and Artistic Director of Deafinitely Theatre... the theatre company I toured a play called 'Double Sentence' with in 2009 and 2010. Paula set up Deafinitely Theatre (with Kate Furby and Steven Webb) after being continually frustrated at the barriers that Deaf actors and directors faced in mainstream theatre and since it began it has gone from strength to strength producing fantastic theatre tackling all sorts of Deaf issues....
But for this shoot it wasn't about theatre... or acting... it was about family. Paula and her partner Tomato asked if I would take some photos of their gorgeous little family and I didn't need to be asked twice!! They have two absolutely beautiful daughters Molly and Hazel who I could spend all day with! It was actually their joint Birthday party that afternoon too so a rendition of 'Happy Birthday' was signed and then we all headed to the park...
It was so lovely to spend time with Paula outside of work and I'm really proud to know her and her family... and if you ever want to go and watch some great theatre then go check them out!
