gill maheu photography: professional lifestyle portrait photography based in Annecy, Geneva, Rhone Alpes

here’s a different sort of portrait for me – i just couldn’t resist this gorgeous and very daft hound !   x

last time i was in london we went to the natural history museum for the first time in yeeeeeears, i think the last time must have been a school trip in the 19….’s – too long ago  – anyway we had brilliant day out and some cool shots too, if you go definitely take your camera …

there are certain nights when you can sleep over at the museum now – in the dinosaur hall – how brilliant would that be ?!!!!

Sonia Grimm propose des spectacles tendres et colorés, dans lesquels elle est accompagnée d’enfants comédiens qui chantent, dansent et se déguisent en divers personnages tendres et amusants. Ses spectacles se jouent toute l’année à guichets fermés et ses spectacles de Noël font salle comble dans les plus grandes salles de Suisse Romande (Montreux, Géneve, Lausanne, ..)

Amoureuse des enfants et de la nature, Sonia ne trouvait pas dans le commerce les chansons tendres et entraînantes qu’elle rêvait de faire écouter à ses enfants.  Elle a comblé cette lacune en composant de superbes mélodies qu’elle accompagne de sa voix douce et chaleureuse et dont les textes sont emprunts d’une poésie pleine de fraîcheur.

Pour la deuxième fois à Massingy, nous avons eu le plaisir d’accueillir Sonia Grimm le samedi 26 juin à la salle des fêtes.  L’APE et son producteur ce sont donné les moyens d’amener, enfants et parents pour la découvrir ou redécouvrir pendant plus d’une heure.  A la fin du spectacle Sonia a pris le temps pour chacun de faire une dédicace, un bisous aux petits comme aux grands.

un grand merci à Sonia et tout son équipe pour cet magnifique spectacle ! 

every year at this time my garden is full of beautiful flowers and every year i think   ‘oh i must, must, MUST photograph them!’ and every year i forget !    this year i remembered – here’s hoping that summer has finally arrived !

have a great summer x

last weekend i had a fantastic time at the Venetien Carnival in Annecy – i took some shots of amazing costumes.  their creators often spend the whole year preparing a new costume, the work and the creativity that goes into them is mindblowing !  here is just a very quick taster post of a few of those costumes…  more to follow … promise

a very BIG thank you to all the fabulous people who created the costumes … and a special thanks to marie-christine, solange & jean michel

well how lucky am I – i was invited by the ski school to spend the day at the beautiful local ski resort of La Margeriaz to take photos of the children. 

picture it ….. a gorgeous day, civilised 10.30am start,  followed by a 40 minute drive to the ski resort… go on admit it sounds good !  Some of the children from my daughters’ school have been having ski lessons throughout January and they wanted photos of their endeavours.  The sky was clear blue, the snow was just perfect, none of that nasty icy stuff they’ve had to deal with in the olympics, there was virtually nobody on the runs and all i had to do is to ski from group to group taking shots of the kids having great fun !!!   here are some of the images … enjoy !

let’s face it as much as i loved my time at junior school this beats trips to see roman remains at Colchester Castle hands down !     …. and don’t they look fab in orange !

 roll on the next trip !  woohoo !
