I have been so busy this year that I have found it difficult to keep up to date with my blog. So let me start with a pre wedding shoot from earlier in the year, these are a few images from Donna and Daniels portrait shoot.

The couple are now married so I will post a few shots from their wedding soon.

We spend around 30-40 minutes on pre wedding portraits and keep things nice and simple, the idea is for the couple to get used to being photographed and help them with posing so on the big day they feel more at ease with the camera.

Pre wedding portraits are done on a weekday in the Stafford area.

Here are a few images from their portrait session……

Here is a recent photo from Isabelle’s 3rd watch me grow session. Throughout a 12 month period she will visit the studio 4 times and each time we will capture the changes that are happening over the first year of her life, photographs that will become even more valuable and precious with time.

thanks for looking….

I’ve been very busy in the studio with lots of newborn baby shoots recently with mums who have signed up for either my watch me grow plan or  the cherubs package.

Bodie recently came to the studio to have his second WMG session and to have some photos taken with his Daddy. He is such a happy little boy with the biggest blue eyes and he seemed to quite enjoy having his picture taken. The last photo in this set was my favourite of the session I loved the eye contact Bodie has with his Dad.

Information on the watch me grow or Cherubs can be found on my web site or here.

Gift vouchers are also available, they can be purchased for any amount from £20 and can also be purchased for our watch me grow and Cherubs collections they also make great christening gifts.

On with Bodie’s second shoot and a few of my favourite images………….

{Studio Lighting}

One of the main things I wanted to do was test my lights and get a feel for how things would look in the new place, you kind of get used to a space and instinctively know camera and lighting settings, what works and also what doesn’t work so well. This said I needed to test the space so Grant kindly volunteered to help me out for a few hours one evening, As Grant is a professional Boxer and a good few years younger than me I didn’t fancy upsetting him LOL.
After a couple of hours we had managed a few different looks and lighting sets.

{The Studio}

I have just under 800 Sq feet of studio space so can accommodate larger family groups, all wedding client meetings are also taking place in the studio. We are now connected to a modeling agency to shoot their folio’s which is something I’m really looking forward to.
The address of the studio is on my contact page but just in case here it is

And finally a couple of photos from Grant’s shoot………

I first met Jo and Andrew back in 2007 for their wedding photographs at Sandon Hall…….

In 2009 Jo and Andrew had their first child and came back to me for one of the WMG packages, this is a year in the life of a baby with photographs taken around every three months to show how baby changes over that first year, from new born to standing this is something parents can treasure for a lifetime.

As I have just finished B’s last session I thought it would be good to share a few images from some of the shoots.

Starting with the most recent

and just over a year ago…!!
