The excitement never ends.....new portrait studio in Somerset!

As some of your know, as well as being a busy wedding photographer, I also take on a few commissions for portrait photography. This has been mainly requests for location portrait photography and if I've ever needed a studio then I simply 'borrow' one off a friend. However, the requests have been growing year on year and in 2008 I've been inundated with them. So.......I have finally decided to build my own studio here at the new house in North Somerset......how exciting!

It's going to be a home based potrait studio as I love the benefits that it brings. The majority of my portrait work is babies and children whose parents bring them to me specifically as they know how much I love kids and the rapport I build with them. They know that the shoots will be fun for their children and stress-free for them!

It's imperative when you do a baby portrait or a child portrait that they feel relaxed with you and their environment before you start to shoot. Having a home portrait studio not only means I can make it exactly as I want and have all the little things to hand that makes life easier (building bricks, toys, bubbles!) but also means it's in a much more informal environment. I can spend time playing and getting to know everyone before I even take the camera out of the bag.

As those of you who know me well know once my minds made up I'm not one to hang around......so building work starts tomorrow!

I'll of course keep you posted on progress and of couse, post a few piccies!!

Sorry.....

I guess the more your doing the harder it becomes to update your blog....but that's when you should be doing it the most! My New Year's resolution is to try and update my blog at least once a week...so watch this space.

Anyhow, I hope everyone had a good Christmas & New Year. Before Christmas was a whirl of portraits, portraits and more portraits...both in the studio and on location. I have posted a couple of my favourites here and, as always, I will be updating
my web-site with the best. It's funny - it used to be that the potrait photography 'season' was quite specific and from October through to mid-December. However, in the last couple of years people seem to be booking family portraits, pregnancy & baby portraits...infact all sorts of portraits, all year round. It's wonderful as it means I get to do this type of photography throughout the year!

Before Christmas is also busy with everyone wanting their wedding albums designed and completed to show off to the family over the festive period. I usually get a rush about November of people contacting me with their choice of wedding photographs for the album and seeing whether they can be done in time. I burn the midnight oil to get every one ready on time and have had a bunch of lovely thank-you cards and e-mails from pleased clients...thank you for them.

2008 has started well too. I've already done a few portraits (which I will post here shortly) and have had plenty of enquirires for people looking for a wedding photographer for this year and next. Nearly all have these have been recommendations from Bride & Grooms who's wedding photography I have done previously so THANK YOU everyone who recommends me....word of mouth is priceless to me.

I'm currently going through all my wedding photography from last year and trying to select the best pictures to update
my gallery with. It's hard as obviously there are lots of weddings but even worse is the fact that I can't choose between the hundreds I've taken on the day...I like them all! Anyway I will keep going over the course of the next couple weeks and will let you know when that's been done.
