Family Portraits with Reece!

Woah, where has the last month just gone?! Can't believe I haven't put a blog post up for a month, tut tut! Not to say I haven't been busy taking photos though, and busy networking, so keep your eyes peeled over the next few months for some other work. Make sure you keep checking back here to keep up to date with me!

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful bundle a few weeks ago! Reece, despite being a little poorly, was good as gold and I think he quite enjoyed the limelight, judging by this photo! If you like what you see here, why not get in contact to book your own family portrait?!

Love this one of Mum and Baby!

Awww, I could eat him up!

If you would like to enquire about your own family bespoke photo shoot, please do not hesitate to get in contact! You can use the contact me tab on the page or my contact details are at the top!

Some of my favourite images from 2013!

As I start any new year I like to think about the things I have achieved in the previous 12 months. Reflection is really important. Sometimes time passes by so quickly that it's easy to forget all that you've achieved, even if it's only something little. You did it! And you should pat yourself on the back for it.  2013 really was a bumper year for me, I had work featured in online magazines, my first photo shoots, a new course started with The Photography Institute to name but a few and I have learnt a lot along the way. It's very easy to carry on and feel like you are not improving or getting anywhere. 

So this is my own little pat on the back and I hope you enjoy sharing it with me! 

Would love to hear what your favourite images of 2013 have been, post links and comments in the box below, here's to 2014! :)

Family portraits

Have been practising with my 50mm a lot more recently and did a family photo shoot with the gorgeous Mya, her parents and her grandma. How cute is she?! 

And another day, another family, my family! These next ones were taken at my Aunty and Uncle's 50th Wedding Anniversary. My Aunty got into the very dress she wore on her wedding day, how cool is that?! And here she is with her bridesmaids. (My mum is the gorgeous lady second in from the right) :)

Love this one!

And finally the happy couple! So, if you're looking for some lovely shots of your family, get in touch!

Millie's 1st Birthday

Decided to practise my portraits, kinda, by capturing my gorgeous niece's first birthday party. I'm definitely more of a 'documentary' photographer in that sense but I'm getting used to asking people to pose for me! Baby steps all the way, for me and for Millie! 

Food photos first!

Birthday girl in her gorgeous outfit and pushing her pram from Pops and Gaga!

Stick a fork in me, I'm done! ;)

Millie and Mummy!

Daddy and cuddles with Opa

 

Millie enjoyed being pushed in her pram rather than pushing it herself! 

A select few out of the very many I took but I was able to put some of my newly learnt photography skills to the test. Like the 'Sunny F/16 Rule', which I'll cover in a post in a few weeks time (when there has been some more sun again!). 

V is Watching You

When I watched 'V for Vendetta' for the first time (years ago) I liked it and disliked it all at the same time. The character V was a figure I really related to. Someone at a loss with the current political system and it's flaws and corruption. But, on the other hand, was scared by how similar the story was to the way government is run nowadays. I had, at the time, discussed with my boyfriend about where we might find some V masks that we could use to take photos with and then, low and behold, a group beat me to it! But have no fear, as soon as I saw you could buy them, I had two on order! Now V is Watching You. So, a post that may divide opinion I suppose. My love for the mask, others hate for what it represents. Still, thats what art is all about, right?! Here are a few images I took about a year ago, tomorrow, I will share my first submission for my new photography course. :)

The Best of 2012

So, we are well and truly in to the new year! I always like to have a bit of self reflection around this time and see how I have developed, improved and what I need and would like to work on. 

I also go through all of my photos from the past year (and there's a lot!) and make a 'Best of' collage. Most people are self critical, myself included, so I find it good practise to do this. It's sort of therapeutic. These are what I think are my best from this year, have a look through my blogpost and tell me what you think! I'd love to hear your thoughts! 

Anyway, a short blogpost for you this week (sorry) I'm afraid as I am currently busy taking a gazillion photos for another project. Don't forget the exhibition is only a week away, please click here for more details.

Miya

Just a mini post this week. Lots more photos to go through and edit presently, plus some other bits in the pipeline (watch this space!) but wanted to get something up and what better than the lovely Miya, whom I had the pleasure of meeting a few weeks ago! A very happy, bubbly little girl, I wanted her to feel comfortable in her own home rather than going to a (potentially) scary place that she wasn't used to. Here are a selection from the shoot......

If you'd like me to do a mini baby shoot (that's a mini shoot, not a mini baby, although I'm open to all possibilities!) then please get in contact using the contact tab or call me, the number is at the top of the page. I know I've said it one or two times before but I love every bit of feedback I get so please do feel free to drop me a little note. I'd love to hear from you!

Sofia's Christening part 2

Two posts in three days, check me out! This is the second set of images from Sofia's Christening (title gives it away a bit!) and are from the little soiree afterwards. I must remember to lay off the Bolly....
