Yay for long weekends! 

I hope you all have a gorgeous weekend in the sunshine (at least I'm hoping for Sunshine!) I'm off to second shoot a wedding tomorrow in Bedfordshire and meeting one of my bride and grooms for their engagement photo shoot on Sunday in North Norfolk. a busy one for sure but I do also plan to eat plenty of chocolate in between!

Todays one frame friday is from a wedding from the end of last year that I plan to blog next week for you.

My zebra finches are expecting again... there are two tiny baby finches in their nest (and two more eggs!) so in a few weeks its going to get noisy in my living room as the babies start to scream for food until they are able to fly the nest themselves. I'm actually quite excited to see how this nest turn out seeing as their parents are both pure white.

I broke my own rules with this picture this week. I intended this project to be black and white only, but I just couldn't convert this one. I tried, tweaked and adjusted, but it just didn't have the same charm in black and white. Plus these little birds have gorgeous bright orange beaks, I didn't want to hide that!

If anyone would like to rescue their babies from a new home at the pet shop, get in touch they are free to a good home and once they're a bit bigger I can let you know if I have male or females.

Yesterday I met up with a group of local photographers, to chat shop and practice on each other. It was something I was so glad I did as sometimes working for yourself can mean you work from home and barely see or speak to people for days. It was just nice to stroll along the waterside in Ipswich with the sun on our faces and speak about photography and the business of photography.

Being in front of the camera is always a strange thing for photographers, but we all offered to pose for each other in order to feel what its like to be a client and of course come home with pictures to update our profiles! 

It's always so interesting to see how other people shoot, and how differently others see things from you. 

I want to do more of this, not only to make some brilliant friends, but also so I come away as refreshed and inspired as I did yesterday.

I knew it wouldn't be long until I started struggling to find interesting things to photograph for this project! If in doubt get a feet shot! Oh dear...

However to make sure this post doesn't completely bore you, do make sure you check out the page all about the mothers day mini family sessions I'm running. at this moment in time I have seven spaces left! I'm really excited to meet some fun families for some equally fun photos all just in time for Mothers day!

One Frame Friday - 17.02.12

So my Facebook news feed went crazy with proposal stories this week, which can only mean one thing. Valentines Day! My boyfriend and I don't celebrate this... so I thought I'd get a little bit in the spirit if only for this weeks blog post. 

I'm exhibiting at yet another wedding fair this weekend, and I'm hoping since many of you are newly engaged love will be in the air! Come and see me on sunday at the Ultimate Wedding Fair in Ipswich 11-4pm. It's free entry so there really is no excuse! 

Let me know your proposal stories too. Have a great weekend :)

Here is my obligatory picture of the snow.

It's starting to drive me crazy... Although I am excited to photograph a wedding in this tomorrow, as long as we get no more settling. I really hope the bride and groom are as excited and willing to stand out in it for a few shots! 

In fact it led me to searching online for snowy inspiration and I've come across these amazing wintery weddings from across the pond:

Winter Wedding Inspiration Shoot

Whist thinking about all of this I was also taken back to my cruise ship days, one of my colleagues was so lucky to be flown by helicopter to photograph a wedding on an Alaskan Glacier. We were all jealous! Anyone planning a wedding like that? I'm your girl if so! :)

Wow, how is it February already and when will I learn to spell February without spell checking it?!

Today's picture is about a very exciting delivery I received. My sample albums! I'll be photographing these very soon to show you all. But if you want to see them sooner you can always come and visit me at another wedding fair this weekend.

I'll be exhibiting at the Ivy House Wedding and Beauty show in Chelmsford this Sunday from 11am - 3.30pm. So come along and keep me company for a bit. I can talk about weddings for hours. Seriously.

Have a great weekend!!

I have been making up a ton of origami birds in preparation for this sunday's wedding fair at Mulberry House, I think I could probably make them in my sleep now!

If you're on the hunt for some wedding inspiration this weekend then make sure you come along and say hello, I'll be there from 11am - 3pm and I'm even running a very exciting competition for all you bride and grooms to be. (Plus I have sweets!)

You can find out all about the wedding fair here, I look forward to meeting some of you and showing you some pictures of my stand next week.

Have a great weekend :) x

Two days of horrible miserable rain.... yuck. I'm ready for summer now!

One Frame Friday - 13.01.12

I needed a project this year to push my creative side. I've often joked with family that I'm a rubbish photographer because outside of actual real jobs, I rarely have my camera on me. So in light of this I've decided a little project to force me to take my camera everywhere is the solution.

To keep it simple I've opted to post a picture every friday on my blog, just one simple picture of my everyday life. I've also decided that this photo is to be a black and white frame each week. The reasoning behind that is because I love colour, I look for colour in every shoot I do and I get really excited by it. However going back to pushing my creativity I needed a challenge and for me that is shooting and seeing in black and white.

So to kick of the first week of One Frame Friday, I have this picture of my lovely friend Kerry O'Brine modelling her Midnight coat. We've vowed to meet up every month to keep each other in check and on track with our businesses and this was our first meeting of 2012.
