My updated website and price list is now live. Bear with me as I’m still updating and still have lots to add to my blog etc. But, I’m really pleased with it. Thank you to my hubby for giving up all his evenings for the past two weeks. Thank you also for my clients that have written me a testimonial, and most importantly for allowing me to use your pictures on my website x
I have spent the morning putting this together. It’s a beautiful fine art print, printed onto hahnemuehle paper. The print is then carefully torn using a special tool which gives it a deckled edge. I love the texture this adds to the picture and I think its quite unique with photographs, certainly around here. Its then hidden mounted onto to acid free mount board – which protects the print and stops acid eventually burning through the picture. A mount is then put behind this and spacers are placed behind the glass, giving it some depth and making sure the picture never touches the glass. Finally the moulding is put around the picture, glass is added, and volia you have a beautifully finished product. This is a bespoke product and fairly labour intensive using the best quality materials. I wanted something that suits the natural feel of my pictures and I also wanted something that would go on the wall, that you could not just buy anywhere! I think this fits the bill. I’m selling this for £175, the frame is 16″ x 20″ but with the ornate moulding around it is is more like 20″ x 25″.
I spent Sunday with my family, it was a beautiful sunny day so we were all in the garden. I would like to do more outdoor shoots, I adore landscape photography and I think if I could combine the two (family photography and landscape photography) I would love it! So, out came the camera for a practice. I really enjoyed it, especially watching the children with the bubbles! It was a special day, there were lots of laughs and I think you can see it in the pictures x
Little phoebe, so sweet, she was a little tentative & then she saw her little cat Jess (teddy!) and she was beaming. This is her second shoot with me, she is very calm – unless she is being changed but then I’ve never known a baby like being changed! It really is a pleasure seeing these little ones grow up. The changes are remarkable in the first year x
This was such a lovely shoot, Bertie has the most amazing eyes which were awesome to photograph. Mum and Dad (aka Kerry and Mark) were also very chilled out and this led to a very relaxed shoot. I adore this shot especially as Bertie is lying on a blanket knitted by his nan, it makes it all the more special!
This is Chloe, she was very calm and sleepy and we were able to get quite a few different poses. I love how curly she looks in this round basket, she was so snug I didn’t want too move her! Its funny to me that my two loves are newborn photography and landscape photography. I wonder if its something to do with the fact that I look for patterns when composing Landscape shots and I create patterns or shapes with newborn photography. I can’t do this with any other baby shoot as they are pretty much constantly moving! It’s also all about patience in landscape photography as it is with newborn photography. Either way, I enjoy nothing more than processing a great newborn or landscape shot and I hope that never changes!
I’ve just printed this picture and I adore the shot, Amelie has cake all round her mouth and she is smiling at her Mum… almost as if she knows she shouldn’t be allowed to get away with eating all this cake but on this occasion it’s ok!
Um… am I in trouble now?
This is Sam, such a lovely natured baby, Charlotte, Dan and Sam had travelled from London the day before but you wouldn’t have known it. All were bright eyed and ready for the shoot. I adore this image of Sam with his monkey, with the cutest half smile, looking so very relaxed!
I photographed my nephew and nieces Tuesday afternoon, Kaius was not feeling so well but as soon as he got on the swing that lovely massive smile of his came out to play! I’ve been asked by quite a few people to do outdoor shoots, I’m hoping to start in the Spring so I thought I’d go and have a practice run. Fortunately for me my nieces and nephew are very used to seeing me with a camera, so they naturally pose for me, which makes my job of capturing them much easier 🙂 x
One of my recent shoots was a 13th birthday shoot. The girls were all great fun and I really enjoyed it. It was really different to my usual shoots as they all stayed in position, 6 month olds aren’t nearly as accomodating for me!
