Boudoir photo shoot

I just wanted to show you an image from a Boudoir session I did a few weeks ago.
Boudoir means different things to every lady, and this image was created as an art piece for a gift to my clients husband to be hung on their bedroom wall.
Why not have a session done yourself, as a present to yourself or as a gift for your other half?
There are many ways to approach crafting an image like this, and it’s really important that we discuss the ‘look’ that you want to achieve, and what feels and looks right for you.  It’s completely your choice as to whether you want to be subtly playful, or blatantly sexy; dressed in a stunning backless dress, your wedding underwear, or provocatively naked…
I often find that once the initial vulnerability has worn off that my clients enjoy the shoot enormously and have a great time with lots of laughter.  And the end results - the photographs - are a fantastic boost to their lives, in many different ways.
If you’d like to talk to me about a boudoir shoot, then please do give me a call.

Autumn shoot

I am getting very excited about my shoots over half term as I just love this time of year. The wonderful light and colour of the trees make amazing backgrounds. If it could just not be too cold please!

Workshop

Do you have an expensive digital camera that you don't know how use?

Never get round to reading the manual?

Or just frustrated as you love taking photos of your kids but the photographs just don't come out how you imagined?

Well this workshop is for you?!

I set up Perfect Pics because so many of my friends love taking photos of their children but struggle to get good results. But with a few simple tips and an understanding of their camera they would be able to dramatically improve their photography.
This is a relaxed workshop,ideally for parents that want to have fun whilst still learning in a practical way.

The workshop will run in two 3hr sessions,one week apart. Places are limited to 8 adults to allow you to gain the maximum benefit from the workshop.The first session we will learn about using natural light,composition,exposure and using the best settings for your camera, whilst eating cake and drinking tea(always necessary when learning!)

Session Two will take place a week later,after you have had time to practice your new found knowledge.I will ask you to bring in your best shots, where we will all critique them which is also a great way to pick up tips, and the best image will receive a prize.

We will then learn some basic editing,storing of photos,and printing.

You will go away with a goody bag and hopefully a new passion and confidence to take beautiful photographs of your children!

Catch up!

Well the kids have gone back to school, so I am well and truly playing catch up on all the work I should have done over the summer holidays! Not sure I gave either of my jobs 100 %, being a mum or a photographer over the summer! Having the boys off for so long was lovely but very stressful from a work point if view!
So I am going to up load over the next weeks some of my shoots from the summer, better late then never!
One below of my boys. I have to pay then £1 a shot now as they hate having their photos taken, think I have over done it over the years!

Sisters photography session

Sharon bought here 2 daughters for a shoot with me, and they were just both so lovely. They obviously adore each other, and were so easy to work with as they just giggled the whole time!

Ward wedding

I had the pleasure in photographing Jan and Patricks wedding at St Micheals Manor in July. It was a very emotional day with lots of happy tears and laughter. Jan looked stunning in her Alexander Mqueen dress and Gina shoes. The sun shone for us all day until it was time to for the bride and groom to leave for their honeymoon in Italy.
