{Lifestyle} Freya Kelly - Portraits of a 1 Year Old

It was with great excitement that I met up with Freya and her family at Odds Farm Park, near Beaconsfield, a few weeks ago. I have had the priviledge to photograph Freya twice before in the last year, and I feel as if I'm almost part of the family by now!

Linkies to previous shoots - [3 months] and [6 months]

It has been fantastic to go through all the stages of Freya's development with them, and watching her turn into a (now blond) little girl.

I even got introduced during the shoot to another Mum as "our family photographer", which was particularly meaningful to me as this is an underlying principle of my business and is exactly the type of relationship that I strive to achieve with ALL my clients.

We had a great time at the farm park, and we were also joined by James, Freya's handsome older brother, who hasn't been able to join us at any of the previous shoots. I was clear that she absolutely adores him, and I assure you that he dotes on his little sister too!

As ever, I'll leave you with some images from the day, and the promise that you are going to see Freya again before the month is out as I photographed her extended family last week at Cliveden ;-)

Let me know what you think?

The Coolest Wedding Music Video!

This is A-MAAAA-ZING!!!

It gives me goosebumps everytime I watch it (and yes I've watched it a few times already!) ;-)





I came across this wedding video via somebody on Twitter (sorry I can't remember who exactly!)

They posted a link to the Huffington Post, from where I followed the links to a number of other blogs/pages that featured different elements of this wedding.

The full blogpost with images and video is on the Junebug Weddings website, and the video with all the credits are posted on the The Society of Wedding Cinematographers' Vimeo page
The Videographer is the very talented David Robin Films.

Hope you enjoyed this as much as I have!
(and just so you know, if I ever get the chance, I'm sooooooo doing this!!)

{Pre Wedding Shoot} Sue & Chris in Abbey Park, Evesham

Towards the back end of May, I had the pleasure to photograph Chris & Sue's Pre-Wedding Shoot in Evesham's Abbey Park.

As usual we had a good chat about the whole day and all the ins and outs. After we had finished that discussing all the details, we set of for the park to go and get a feel for the camera etc.

I think both Chris and Sue were a little bit nervous to start with, but the former probably more so. ;-) I showed them what to do and more importantly what not to do on the day, and most of the time it resulted in giggles.

I'm glad to say that by the end of the shoot Chris said to me... "I really enjoyed that, although I didn't think I would. I'm really looking forward to the day now, this has made it all real for me now."

This is the ultimate statement from my point of view, because that shows that the PWS has served it's purpose and that the couple (especially the groom) will feel that little bit more relaxed on the day!
