The other day I went to one of my good client's house to show them the pictures I had recently taken of their children. I must say it was one of the most pleasant viewings I've had! Taking pictures of adults and showing them to the clients is one thing. But taking pictures of teens and showing them to the teens themselves is often a tricky thing as they don't always like seeing themselves in pictures. But, and I don't know if Marianne's flapjacks (from Riverside Organics) had anything to do with it, but they loved their pictures!
The thing that I essentially try to do with this age group is simply try and "capture their spirit". Take pictures of who they are and aspire to be rather than direct them into strict poses. I want them to have fun. And have fun we did!
;)
Besides that, I will be the official photographer for the Britain in Bloom Awards 2008! The event is being held at the Chester Racecourse as part of the Cheshire Year of Gardens Celebrations! I am a really keen gardener myself having a few roses, a wildflower meadow, herbs and all sorts of stuff.. I even have a hedgehog house and ladybird house! But I somehow had my doubts that I would be at the awards as a winner, so being a photographer was my only hope..

Finally, we're on Facebook! You can find us on there by clicking on this link
I'm not sure quite how I'll use my presence there, but one thing that is sure is that it will involve deals! So check us out!
