The Coveted Mag

Posted on October 22, 2009

Some of our work has recently be used in a brand new Scottish fashion magazine. 

The Coveted Mag  is an independent magazine celebrating the Scottish Fashion Industry, supporting and promoting existing and emerging talent.  One of our shots, captured for one of the rising stars of UK millinery,  Jacqueline Elizabeth has been used in an article about exciting new hat designers.  Direct link to the article is here.

You could also win a fantastic bespoke fascinator made by Jacqueline Elizabeth by entering the competition held by Scottish Television.

Sunday

Posted on October 20, 2009

Sunday was a busy day with a bridal meeting and a family lifestyle shoot all before lunchtime.  Happy to say both went well, Abeda, the lovely bride booked us for her wedding next year and I had a great time in the morning shooting the Baillies in the shadow of the Forth Bridge. 

Luke and little brother Sam proved to be excellent models, even if they were more interested in treasure hunting.  Sam took a wee tumble and ended up with a bit of a bump on the head but nothing that a cuddle from dad and a spot of photoshopping by me couldn’t sort out.

Twins

Posted on October 16, 2009

Had a fun shoot today with cute baby twins and their lovely big sister. Again I managed to end up at a swing park.  Here are few shots with more to follow.

Happy People

Posted on October 12, 2009

One of the best things about being a lifestyle photographer is that you are mostly with people who are having a good time. Whether it be a wedding,  birthday party, reunion or just a family portrait session, the folk involved are usually there because they want to be and are happy.

Today for example I covered a big family party in the evening with a very happy granny having all her kids and grand-kids around her. 

In the afternoon I had the pleasure of spending  a short while in the company of an adorable little lady and her parents for a quick kiddy shoot.  What made it even better was that I got to play on the jungle gym.  The little lady in question was Samara, and what an absolute cutie she is.

No rest for the wicked

Had a quiet week in terms of actual shoots but busy dealing with the aftermath of the wedding shows.  Appointments Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and so far two of the three have resulted in wedding bookings.  I am really hoping the third also works out as its going to be somthing a little new for me and quite exciting.

Got a busy week coming up though with two shoots tomorrow, one on Wednesday and another on Thursday.

This week Jess returns to work.  She has been on maternity leave since January and Esme and I are really going to miss her.  Its been so great us being able to spend almost every day together since Esme was born.  It was really nice this week to be visited by Jess’s aunty and uncle (Esme’s great aunty and uncle).

Tired but happy

After a hot bath and a cold beer I am almost recovered from day one of Thee Wedding Show. Standing up for eight hours is pretty hard work. The only thing that makes it worthwhile is meeting lots of nice new people who are excitedly making plans for their wedding. It’s not until you visit a fair and see the huge variety of things on show, from cars to cakes, from dance floors to diamond tiaras and from frocks to fireworks that you realise the amount of planning a wedding requires.

I would like to give a massive thanks to the couples who booked with us today and to let them know that I am really looking forward to playing my small part in their big days.

A special mention must go to the folks from Hard Rock Cafe who introduced me to Mahitos and Cosmos, really nice but mustn’t make a habit of cocktails before lunch.
