Just after Stacie and the girls left the studio from their baby bump shoot, Sara-Jane and Rob came round with new arrival Evie for the second part of their shoot. The couple were in the studio a few months ago for a baby bump shoot and its hard to believe Evie is a now a couple of months old now as it doesn’t seem two minutes ago! Evie was wide awake and in a very pleasant mood which is always a bonus when shooting babies :¬) Here are a few shots from the shoot for a taster I may get some more up in a day or so but I’m mowed under with wedding albums, picture editing and yet more shoots on the horizon!

To book your bump to baby shoot just call the studio on 01924 229800 or visit the bump pages.

A studio full of girls today as Stacie dropped by today with her daughter Grace, sister Sam and mum for a baby bump shoot. Stacie’s partner, Paul,  was working away in Essex so he couldn’t make it today but he will be at the baby shoot with Stacie in a couple of months when we complete the session after the new arrival. Using both white and black infinity curves, we did a variety of images in different outfits and also had young Grace in the shots too.

Well, the Baxbys were back in the studio today with new addition to the family - Jack. I photographed Natalie and John’s wedding at Healds Hall last April and then earlier this year we did a baby bump shoot and today I met the little man in person. After a very tired start followed by a grumpy spell and then a stomach full of ‘gold top’ and a nappy change, things went really well Here are a few images from today minus Macie the rottweiler who wouldn’t perform the shot we had in mind as she was too scared of Jack!

For your baby shoots at the studio just call 01924 229800

It was nearly 12 months ago when I photographed Lucy & Robert’s wedding at Mosborough Hall, Sheffield and today they were in the studio with a new addition to the family - young Jack. After a good feed, Jack was well up for a bit of a photo shoot with mum and dad and we have some really nice images to choose from. The shoot was a suprise for Robert’s 30th birthday. Great stuff!

Leanne contacted me a few weeks ago to arrange a family portrait shoot as a surprise for her Granddad’s 80th and so today there was a gathering of cousins from the Hunt & Crowther clan to do just that. We shot some fun, but formal stuff of the group that would appeal to Granddad’s tastes before shooting a some casual shots of the two sets of cousins. Framed family portraits like this make absolutely super gifts for mums, dads and grandparents as they are intimate, stylish and really personal and will give lasting pleasure as a large framed print or canvas wrap. To arrange your family portrait, just call the studio on 01924 229800 to arrange a sitting.

Doesn’t seem two minutes since the Christmas break but here we are at the end of another half-term! So, in order to avoid “couch potato-itus” setting in on the kids, we went to Howarth for the day calling in at the Worth Valley Railway and Saltaire on the way back. It was a gloriously sunny and crsip winter day with a good dusting of snow in Howarth providing some great photo opportunities, but having the rest of the gang with me I decided to travel light, taking only two lenses and no tripod! Here’s a few of the snap shots I took on the day. You can see the perils of taking photographs of an 11 year old boy while there’s snow on the ground - obviously five grands worth of gear is just too tempting a target :¬\   

A short break in the blog activity now as I’m in the high Pyrennees in Spain from tomorrow for 4 days of nature photography concentrating on the enigmatic lammergier vulture as well as three other vuture species and, hopefully, eagles. Then its back to a busy studio schedule the following week.

With all the Christmas festivities out of the way, now is the time to be looking towards Valentine’s Day on February 14th and thinking about giving something a bit different this year that is both lasting and personal. So, with this in mind I’ve come up with a Valentine’s Day photoshoot at a great price that also includes 6 10×8 prints in elegant black folders, 20 web-sized images for use on Facebook or Myspace etc and a very large 20×30 canvas gallery wrap of your favourite image complete and ready to hang as soon as your partner unwraps it! This is a very personal gift that will last a lifetime, not just a few weeks and all for only £150!

The shoot will last around 1hr in our well equipped studio and can involve a couple of changes of clothes; the style and content of the shoot is entirely down to you: it could be a sexy boudoir shoot, a fashion style shoot, a beautiful Hollywood glamour style portrait or even a lifestyle shoot involving both you and your partner to create a beautiful centre piece for your living room wall. The images will then be put on a private web gallery for you to choose your favourite image for printing on the sumptuous large canvas wrap.

To book your Valentine’s Day photo session call now on 01924 229800.

Helen came over to the studio today to discuss the options for a celebrate the dress shoot and after we’d had a chat about that and decided on what style of shoot we’d do, I took the opportunity of a couple of quick portraits by natural light from the studio windows. The frosted glass is just a bit too diffuse for my taste, unless there’s a lot of daylight, but with leaden skies like we had to day, not enough gets through. Here are a couple of the results: I used a very shallow depth of field to cope with the low light and also to emphasise the eyes. I’m looking forward to the celebrate the dress shoot later this month.

Sophie came over today for a prom dress shoot but, due to the cold wintery conditions, we had to hold off the trash the prom dress style shoot in a grungy location  I had in mind and instead, shoot some fashion magazine style images in the studio. We shot some white wall images to get Sophie used to the camera and then moved on to a grey backdrop, before finishing off with some fashonista shots of her in her New Year’s Eve dress, creating lots of lovely flare by shooting straight into a bare flash head. We’ll be shooting the location stuff once we get through the current cold snap, so watch this space. In the meantime, if you fancy a studio style fashion shoot in your prom dress, just call the studio on 01924 229800.
