Well, as the title suggests, it has been some time since I posted an update?! It has been a busy time, with a mixture of weather, alongside a break for the summer to spend with my children and the sad loss of my dear Dad at the beginning of November.
Back in July I was working again with Allegra Blanchard, of The Dining Company, photographing table set ups for her website and advertisements – we had lots of fun and some great images for her ad agency to work with:
I am pleased to be able to announce who Mrs Secret was! It was the fabulous mother of six (!) beautiful children, Kate Bullman, who commissioned me to photograph portraits of all the children individually (that took some organising!) and to frame them all as a gift for her lovely husband, Nick, for his birthday. Stunning photographs I think you will agree!
Kate has had postcards made of the collection to send out with her change of address cards – the perfect way to show friends and family how the kids are doing!
I had another secret mission in August! This time Beccy Gage asked me to photograph her three handsome boys as gifts for her husband for Christmas – the cat is now out of the bag, but hubby Rory doesn’t know which pictures he will be getting on Christmas Day! The boys were fantastic and again, we got some gorgeous portraits of them all. Poor Beccy has had a tough time choosing the pictures that she wants framed …..
September saw me getting busy again after the long summer holidays with several projects. The first was the pre-wedding photoshoot for Lucie and Chris, who chose to use the Royal Crescent in Bath as a beautiful backdrop. The weather held and we had a fun hour getting some great shots!
I had another pre-wedding shoot – this time it was Kate and Justin, with their beautiful children joining in (in fact, it turned into a portrait shoot for them!) – we went to the park and had a lovely walk and got some great shots into the bargain!
Looking forward to the big day for Kate, Justin and family next April, taking place at my local venue – Wick Farm in Farleigh Hungerford!
Soon after their pre-wedding shoot I was back with Lucie and Chris for their big day – a gorgeous day with Lucie getting ready with her family at Homewood Park, the wedding ceremony taking place in St Nicholas Church in Bathampton and then back to Wick Farm for the reception. A beautiful day for a beautiful couple!
No rest for the wicked! October soon came round and I met Charlotte, a photography student, who spent some time with me listening to my route to becoming a photographer, and hopefully she picked up some helpful tips and ideas …?! This was followed by a shoot which was thoroughly enjoyed by us both! This was an ingenious 18th birthday present from her lovely aunt – Mary.
A couple of days later and I was out for a walk with Sarah, Chris and their cheeky Jack Russell, Scrappy for their pre-wedding shoot before the big day at Seend House next year.
I am looking to see which one these guys pick for their Signature Mount ….!!
Well that’s a round up of what I have been up to – all these collections are viewable in their entirety in the client album section of the website. In the meantime I have been busy meeting lots of newly engaged couples and taking lots of bookings for next year, all of which I am very much looking forward to. December has some lovely days lined up, a portrait sitting of a new baby and a wedding! Happy Christmas to you all and I will be back blogging in the New Year ……
