AN ART fan won a photo shoot with a top photographer after entering a prize draw.

Ali Beech, of Tarporley Road in Utkinton, was over the moon when she found out she had won a photo shoot with Helen Rae.

She entered a prize draw at an art exhibition at the Hollies Farm Shop in Little Budworth.

Mrs Beech, 51, said: “Gordon Wilkinson’s art exhibition was on and I love his paintings, so I went to have a look.”

As well as an art exhibition there was a display of Helen Rae’s photography, at which she entered the competition.

She said: “I never win anything so it was a complete surprise! I love Helen’s photography at the exhibition so it made my day when I heard the news that I had won.”

Ali has planned the photo shoot when she, her sisters and her daughters hope to get together at a beach in North Wales.

Photographer Helen said: “I find I get the most relaxed and natural images from stress-free people who are happy to be where they choose. That can be at home, in the garden, at a local wood or even on the beach.

“I spend a good deal of time with my clients getting the smile looking at the camera shots as well as the more lifestyle magazine look images.”
