there is an amazing centre for natural health called the bridge in derby – they have an huge range of different treatments on offer everything from acupuncture to no hands massage, osteopathy to reflexology, a brilliant fertilty support group run by emma, how about hypnobirthing or  aromatherapy, or perhaps drama therapy or ….. the list goes on and on and on … 

I was fortunate to spend a a couple of days with this great team taking shots of them for their new brochure …. they are warm and welcoming and incredibly passionate about what they do – not only did i get to do headshots but also to look in and take shots of some of the treatments too – hopi earcandles, drama therapy, no hands massage (i definitely recommend that one …well a girl needs a break after a long days photographing), plumb lines, hydrotherm massage, drama therapy and belly dancing …. a brilliant brilliant couple of days.

here are a few of the very talented practitioners …

do go and look at the The Bridge Centre for Natural Health website – and if you have any questions about the treatments available

i really love spending time with families and taking shots of them having fun and laughing, i love showing them just how gorgeous they are and then i love the designing and product choosing bit too.  this family chose some fantastic frames, a beautiful 9 shot frame for home, a classy white 4 image frame for the office and the girls had a contemporary box frame each for their rooms

then as an extra present from mum & dad they were given an album each,  as you can see in some really funky colours – i LOVE that hot pink suede look, and yes it really is that bright !  i know i’ve shown you beautiful portrait album shots before but i can’t resist putting some shots of the pages in to show just how good the quality is … just look at the thickness of the pages

and how about these little accordeon keepsakes that just fold up small and slip into your handbag … keep the gorgeousness with you but easier to carry round than the frames !

on the 30th December i helped Ema, of    e-lounge coiffure   in annecy and her team, with the translation while they were doing the hair and make up for Jeanette and her multinational bridesmaids at the Palace de Menthon, Annecy.  I even took some wedding preparation photos so you can see how fabulous they all looked and show ema and her team working their magic. 

Jeanette and Peter had friends and family from all over the world attending their winter wedding on the 30th December and Ema was amazing all day making everyone look beautiful.  here is the link to jeanette and peter’s new year’s eve masked ball photos if you want a quick look at the next day’s festivities too – a really fabulous couple and a wonderful event to be part of !
