Baby Bump 6

Charlotte came round tonight for the next set of Bump pictures and to say she has got round is an understatement, it's grown quite a lot in the last 4 weeks! We are even considering bringing the final Bump shoot forward by a week to make sure we capture the final set of images before Baby arrives.

Studio Build Update

Progress continues at pace, with the later photos depicting the start of the roof coverings going on. The weather has been mostly on our side, the lifting of the steel ridge beam for the roof went well, with a hired hand driven fork lift making it very easy to manoeuvre into place. The roof is now water proof with the felt in place, the rear elevation flat roof will be covered next weekend. The tiles are now lifted onto the roof structure and the first fix of electrics is under way.

Claire and Dan pre Wedding Meeting

Despite some atrocious weather, Dan and Claire came down for their pre Wedding discussion last weekend. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the details of their day as well as talk about the style of images I offer and the images they would like. We did manage to get outside, as the studio is still under construction, under a covered walkway and whilst the surroundings were not great we got some lovely shots done. I am really looking forward to their Wedding in August.

Studio Build Update

The studio is flying up, I am so impressed with my Brother's construction abilities, the speed at which it is going up, the manner in which it is being built and his ever critical eye for detail. I am not saying that because he is my Brother, but because he is an amazing professional workman (GSM Construction is the company name). As can be seen, we have come a long way in the 3 weeks of the project so far and whilst he has worked long days, you cannot but be surprised at where we have got too. In the later photos you can begin to see the inside take shape, as well as the window and door areas take form and give me a real perspective of the space I will have in my studio, it's brilliant! The front and back walls are at a height ready to take the Roof Rafters, the side walls will be built up next week to form the Gable ends before we lift the Steel Ridge beam into place. Next weekend will see the start of the construction of the roof, when things will slow down due to the complex nature of the work.

Baby Bump 5

Charlotte was back last week for the next in the series of Bump shoots. She has confessed it's getting in the way now, obviously in a nice way!
