Love : Shoot

All my lovely wedding couples receive a complementary engagement shoot.....

The time spent together as photographer and clients help in so many ways prepare for the big day.
As a couple you are unlikely to have never been photographed professionally before.  Establishing a relationship between us will help immensely on the wedding day, it helps relax and understand how we work as a team.

You get to see what you look like, angles you prefer and tips on how to pose, this makes you both more confident.  By the end of the photoshoot you will be ready for anything your big day throws at you , you'll have some fantastic photographs and you'll be excited for the wedding.

Looking forward to the Wedding in September!

Make your photographs stand out - Change your viewpoint

Many a time you can dramatically alter your photo composition by changing your viewpoint. This quick tutorial into using camera angles more effectively will aid you in taking pictures you can be proud of. Below I'll show you a few simple techniques you can use to alter your camera position for a more impressive effect

Searching for an unusual angle of a usual object will always make your photograph stand out from anyone else's.

Try shooting up!  This viewpoint will create more impact than taking the usual head height stance of looking at this tree.  Try using a wide angle to capture the full canopy and stand with your camera against the bark of the tree.

Also the beauty in the sky should not be missed, great clouds make a photograph

Now the opposite

Try shooting from the ground.
Laying on the ground and having a 'worms eye' view of the world can also create an alternative viewpoint.  It also allows a greater depth of field of the flowers behind.

Try shooting from Above

This can create a great new look for portrait shots; you do have to be careful not to get your feet in the shot though!!

Get out and see what new angles and viewpoints you can find, make your photographs stand out from the crowd.

This is one of many tutorials you will learn on my beginner photography course, if you are interested in learning more please contact me here or call me on 07821974464 

Family Photoshoot

Spent a lovely morning with these guys and their 9 month superstar!  Black and white make these photographs timeless.........

Family photoshoot { 7 Months old }

It was a real pleasure to meet this little fella yesterday, at only 7 months old he is already on the go and interested in everything we were doing.  I think you will agree, those eyes are amazing.......

More to follow once the full set have been edited.

{ 2016 } a round up

Wow what a year its been!!

In 2016 I have been fortunate to be able to ramp up my photography, now my two little ones are settled at school full time, I have been able to turn more attention to my photography.......

So this year I embarked on teaching, initially it was a beginners group of 10 back in April this year.  It was so popular I created another beginner and an advanced group which started in September!  I have been overwhelmed at how well they have been received.  I have two more beginner groups and one advanced group booked for April and September 2017!  Take a look here if your interested........ booking now being taken!

I have also been lucky to meet many new families and have seen some familiar faces growing up on my regular customers, its such a delight to see families year after year, the children grow so quickly.

I have also ventured into 'group family photographs', this is where we have up to three generations from grandparents to grandchildren, with families up to 15 so far!  Its hectic, but 'fun' hectic!!

A commercial shoot was in the mix this year, working with a great agency.

What a year...... here to a great 2017!

Autumn Family Shoot

Autumn must be my favourite time for family photoshoots, even if there is a bit of a nip in the air.  Once you are all bundled up in coats and gloves, the light and colours of the trees are well worth it.

This lovely family were a treat to photograph

Family Photoshoot { Late summer }

I had the pleasure of having another large family shoot this year, what a fab bunch, we had great fun, despite the rain!!!!
