Baby Bump

Something new today, here is the first in a sequence of Baby Bump shoots for Charlotte, here she is just over 12 weeks, keep an eye out for the follow up shoots as we proceed towards the arrival of her baby in August.

SWPP Convention follow up

Back at home and recovered from the very tiring 4 day SWPP convention in Hammersmith, with a vast variety of seminars to attend covering most photography styles as well as business, software, hardware, in fact anything photography based. It was a great way to start the year, continuing the momentum to improve and evolve my Photographic style, mixing amongst fellow photography friends, meeting new ones, whilst rubbing shoulders with some of the most highly respected members of this trade. It was also an opportunity to see the various suppliers and what they bring that is new to the market, to make anyones photographic experience even better.

It was a pleasure to see that Phototraining4U, was awarded the "Best Professional Training Provider 2011", a worthy award for a team that has strived to deliver the utmost training experience, of which I am so pleased I was a part of, although I hasten to add, I take no credit for them obtaining their award, well done to the PT4U team, finally recognition for your determined efforts.

SWPP Convention Day 1

Well the year has seemed to have flown by as the Convention comes around again, a great opportunity to catch up with fellow professionals and make new friends.
In on day 1 of the Masterclasses with some very interesting seminars from a number of speakers. Very busy in the vast variety of Masterclasses and even more packed in the trade show, where there are too many temptations to part with the hard earned cash. Back in tomorrow for day 2.

The new Puppy

The new year is off to a flying start, our new Puppy has arrived. Mollie is a Lhasa Apso, she is just over 8 weeks old and already up for her first photo shoot.

Winter weather

Whilst we had a dusting of snow last week, I managed to get out with the camera and have a look around the local area.

Kim and Brian's Wedding

I had the pleasure of attending and photographing Kim and Brian's Wedding on the 25th November. The weather was definitely on the cold side, with freezing temperatures outside as we did some of the group photos in the failing light of the day.

Back to Black

After seeing the Photo Noir style of Photography being demonstrated by Kenny Martin, I have been practicing the style and had some willing Family members around to do an entire session on the subject. Here is the outcome:

Autumn Shoot

I made the most of the decent weather last weekend to get out and do a couple of photo shoots whilst the Autumn colours were still around, here is my delightful Niece having fun and being my model for the afternoon, she was great!

Oscar's 6 Month photo session

Following Oscar through the first year of his life had me return yesterday to capture the images of him at the six month old stage. He is growing fast and such fun to take pictures of, always full of smiles, I just can't believe how fast the sessions seem to come around. Back in Jan/Feb for the next one. Here is a sneak peak at some of the photos.

Jak second location shoot

We were out yesterday for the second location shoot with Jak. He had some specific shots he wanted me to capture, and I had some ideas I wanted to try. Thankfully the weather held off for us, although it did get dark rather quick towards the end. Watch and enjoy!
