Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

Abby and Beau’s wedding last friday undoubtedly heralded the first day of Spring.  A truly joyous occasion with every ingredient a wedding photographer could wish for - lots of lovely light, beauty, elegance, humour, laughter, tears and of course true love. Congratulations Abby and Beau. Here are a few for young Kaiser to enjoy until you return from Paris!

Note to all guests/family/friends: all the images from Abby and Beau’s wedding day will be available to view on a password protected gallery on my website within the next 10 days. I will post here when they are uploaded and then you just need to obtain the user name and password from Abby and Beau to view them. Prints will be available to order direct from me. Thank you.

Kirstin’s maternity pictures

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

A couple of weeks ago I shot my first ever maternity images with a lovely woman called Kirstin who is expecting her second baby in a week or so. We had such a lovely time together coming up with so many beautiful images in just a few hours. I was especially lucky to have Kirstin as my first maternity client as she has been a model and was very relaxed and experienced in front of the camera.

I loved doing this shoot and can’t wait for the next one. Any expectant mothers looking at this post please contact me! It is such a special time in one’s life and as I’m building in this area of photography I’m very happy to waive the shoot fee for the moment. It’s a no lose offer!

Here are some of our favourites:

Welcome to my photoblog

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

I have decided to join the ranks of bloggers. My aims for this are currently threefold:

a) to show a broader selection of highlights than will end up on my website from individual shoots. This will help new clients get a real sense of recent and past shoots and know what to expect if they commission me

b) to allow existing clients to keep abreast of any new products or services I might be offering and to get a early preview of any shoots I do for them before the images reach their password protected gallery

c) to share with all photographers - be they amateurs or professionals, or anyone else interested - what I learn month by month from this vast and ever changing industry

We’re already two months into 2009 and I’ve had a productive time attending the Business School and Trade show at the SWPP (Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers), shooting my first maternity pictures, photographing various children, and couples whose weddings I’ll be shooting this year; visiting Focus on Imaging in Birmingham sourcing new products, working with Kieran my web designer - http://www.wonderland-design.co.uk - to make my site even better, getting my first Wedding photo book into production, and even shooting my 2009 Christmas card early one cold and frosty February morning in a wonderful Christmas tree plantation and with the most fabulous 8 year old model a photographer could hope for. How organised is that!

Next week I will be photographing Abby and Beau’s wedding at Phyllis Court in Henley-on-Thames. Last month we had a lovely afternoon in the bright sunshine shooting some pre-wedding pictures. I’m not a huge dog lover but I have to say I slightly fell for their beloved Kaiser even though he only sat still for approximately 2 seconds at a time and almost mistook my lovely new Nikon lens for a bone. Here are some highlights:
