{Portraits} The Livesey Girls - 2 years on.

Here's one from the backlog of last year...

In November I got a call from Julia to ask if I could fit them in for a quick portrait session in time for her Mum & Dad's Anniversary for which these images were going to be a present.

I had photographed the girls once before - way back in 2008 - and I always get remarks and compliments about their striking images that are in my portfolio album that I carry around with me.

This shoot also involved their 3 older cousins, their Aunt and Uncle, but more on that part of the family in another post soon.

For this post I wanted to show just a couple of my favourite images from this shoot as always, as well as a selection of images from their shoot in 2008.

Let me know what you think!















And this is what they looked like 2 and a bit years ago...

{Newborn} Introducing Baby Adele - Gorgeousness Alert!

Last week I took a couple of hours out of my busy week to go and take a few photos of baby Adele. She is the brand spanking new baby sister of one of my daughter's school friends.

She was only 8 days old, and I couldn't resist going over to have some cuddles and volunteering to take a few photos while I was there.

I have recently been buying some 'props' for taking my Baby Photography (especially newborns) into a new dimension. The afternoon before the shoot, I was rumaging through my hat box only to discover that I seem to have misplaced some of my newborn hats in our house move last year. :(

I quickly went down to the wool shop to stock up on some really pretty pink wool (and got blue too) and I scoured the internet until I found a hat pattern that I liked. So monday night saw me quickly knitting a hat for my shoot with baby Adele on Tuesday morning. In the end, I didn't get to use the hat very much, because by the time we got to strip her off and put the hat on, she had decided that enough was enough, and she was tired of all this modeling business. ;-)

I have really enjoyed photographing little Adele, and I now have even more ideas swirling around in my head for newborns and small babies.

So if you or anybody you know is having or have just had a baby, get in touch to make sure we capture those precious days with beautiful images of your little one.

As usual, here are a few of my favourites from the shoot...

{Commercial} Rio Rocks - Jewellery Shoot

Back in November I did a shoot for a very talented lady! Diane's company is called Rio Rocks and she designs and makes bespoke jewellery. Her shop is located on the Evesham Road in Headless Cross, Redditch.

Everything from bridal pieces to the more unique handcrafted pieces that she can make to your specification.

Her website is currently undergoing a rebuild (hence the new images) and she has also recently gotten a Facebook Page. So head on over to be kept up to date with any happenings.

Here are a few of my favourites from the shoot...

Designer Vintage Bridal Show

Just a quick note to let you know that I'll be at the Designer Vintage Bridal Show at Highbury Hall in Birmingham this weekend.

It is a fantastic new show that is opening it's doors for the first time this year, and according to pre-show ticket sales, is going to be extremely popular.



"A brand new bridal show, celebrating the creative, the incredible and the absolute hottest designers and suppliers of all things vintage!"

One of the highlights of the show will most definately be the presence of not one but TWO of the UK's top wedding bloggers... yes, both Rock n Roll Bride and Love My Dress will be there for all the fun.

The doors open at 10am on both Saturday and Sunday (19th/20th), and it is going to be truly fabulous.

Hope to see many of you there!!

{Headshots} Sarah Sallis - Evesham

Last month I had the pleasure to photograph my good friend (and accountant) Sarah Sallis. We've been talking about doing some updated images of Sarah for a few months now, but have just never gotten round to doing them.

Sarah was the first person to welcome me to Evesham (via twitter) when we moved here back in May 2010, and since then we have gotten to known each other and have attended quite a few networking meetings together.

Sarah wanted the photographs to be quite simple and clean, so that she could use them for a variety of different applications. The initial use of one of the images will be in the Vale magazine in the March 2011 edition, and thereafter Sarah will use them for Twitter, Facebook, Website and Blog.

Here are a few of the images from the shoot.

{Lifestyle} Discenza Family Shoot in Evesham

Back in December - before Christmas (yes I know I'm really behind with this blogging malarchy), I had the pleasure to photograph the Discenza family in the now, very familiar Abbey Park in Evesham. It was just after the first snowfall of 1-2 inches, and just before the bucket-fulls (10-12 inches) hit us.

We started off at the house taking a few lovely relaxed photos of each of the girls before we wrapped up warm and braved the cold outside. It was bitterly cold and we couldn't stand still for more than a couple of minutes at a time, before it became neccessary to move and generate some heat.

The girls were fantastic, and believe me true superstars for being able to hide the pained expressions of somebody slowly freezing to the spot.

We even got Mia (the little one) to march up and down the path to keep her mind off it and to give her something to do while I was photographing the other girls. I'm really glad she liked doing the marching, as I quickly grabbed the image of her marching off in the distance, and this image has turned out to be one of my favourite images from 2010.

Also, don't you just LOVE that skirt? I immediately went out the next day and got one for my daughter too! Just to bad they didn't do one in my size as well!

As always, here are a few of my favourites from the shoot...
