wow ! qu’est-ce qu’ils sont beaux ces albums !!!  ils sont fait mains aux états unis, et la qualité saute aux yeux dès qu’on commence à ouvrir le colis soigneusement emballé – c’est comme noël et un anniversaire en même temps . l’impression des images est parfaite, les pages sont épaisses et somptueuses, reliées de façon magnifique en cuir – le genre de cuir qu’on ne peut pas s’empêcher de toucher – on sent tout suite que c’est un album de qualité, qu’on peut regarder sans avoir peur de l’endommager.   …. mais pour tous ceux qui préfèrent ne pas prendre l’option cuir le fabricant présente une large gamme de couvertures qui va de la soie aux ‘happy cow’ (vache heureuse !!! -  une version de cuir synthétique) – et toujours avec la même attention du détail et de la qualité

wow !  how gorgeous are these albums !!!   they are hand made in the states and are just amazing.  the quality is there from the moment you open the very well packaged parcel – there’s all the excitement of opening a beautiful christmas present – the printing is spot on and the pages are really thick and beautifully bound in a leather cover, the sort of leather that you just can’t stop touching, an album to treasure but robust enough to be be looked at and enjoyed frequently !   … and for all of you that would prefer not to have the leather option – don’t worry – they have an amazing range of other covers from silk, to the gloriously named ‘happy cow’ options !    always with the same attention to detail and quality …

gorgeous huh ?         beau n’est-ce pas ?

how gorgeous are these little albums ?  at 5"x5" they are perfect little "almost" pocket albums.  they are hand made in the states and just fantastic quality !  

i am really enjoying my photography at the moment – things really seem to be taking off, another brilliant swiss couple have contacted me about doing their wedding in september, and i have some lifestyle portrait shoots lined up too.

i have lots of shoots to share with you at the moment – Helen & Stuarts beautiful wedding, a recent lifestyle portrait shoot of the absolutely adorable twins and their parents, shots from my recent trip to the west coast of france, more images from the lakes ….. oh and maybe one or two of my monsters who, for once, were happy to play around in front of the camera !!

and ….. soon more news of my fantastic new filming project with shoot photography …. i’m very very excited about this !!!!! 

watch this space !!!

on saturday we travelled down to derby so we could work on another project  -  they filmed me doing a family shoot with a gorgeous family that i first worked with back in february (see below)

we had great fun doing the filming, loads of laughs and quite a bit of work too !    the girls have changed so much from the above shot … and they are starting to crawl  .. at high speed … oh and did i mention the one year old chocolate coloured labrador ?  stars the five of them !

shots from the shoot  to follow very soon    … and also more news of the filming 

it was brilliant to see Annabel, Catherine, Jane & Jo again, and finally meet AJ, especially at such a special place !

i met some great people – Jo & Si Broadhead (Shoot Lifestyle Wedding Photography) who won the wedding album category with an absolutely stunning album – they were fantastic and agreed to meet with me beforehand so that i didn’t have to go in alone ! many many thanks !!!

i also met up with Sarah Wright (Sarah Wright Photography) – winning portrait album – a brilliant photographer from sussex, and John Archibald (Taking Time) who came runner up in children’s portrait category with an image i would love to have on my wall !

after the ceremony off to enjoy a little pimms or two and a laugh !

A very talented photographer from Cyprus Sofie Louca was the deserving winner of the Canon 5D mkII – she came runner up in the wedding album category and won the teenager category with her unique HDR images.

a brilliant day – made very special by the lovely people present !
