Model Shoot

Last week myself & a good friend of mine Henry Aarvold photographed the gorgeous Anna. The location was a small wood not far from where I live. And with some speedlites, gels & ezy boxes we decided to have a play with the light.

A huge thanks to Anna for standing the extreme cold weather while wearing very little!!!!

Kate & Antony Pre Wedding shoot

Kate & Antony will be married in September this year. Their wedding however is no ordinary one, they are travelling to Mongolia where they will then head out into the countryside to be married in a Yert with some villagers they have got to know over the last couples of years as their guests. They will be in full Mongolian wedding attire (which I am very much so looking forward to seeing)!! When they return they will be staying at the magnificent Chillingham castle (one of my favourite venues) where they will have their wedding blessed in the chapel.

I met up with Kate & Antony this weekend at Chillingam for their pre shoot. Thankfully the rain had stopped by Sunday & it was quite warm which made a nice change.

Note the 'Star Jump'.......apparently this is custom when having their picture taken & so was not to be missed!!

Down by the archway leading to the woods we had a bit of a scary experience, there was a very small patch of mist that came & went in seconds, now if this had happened at night I don't think we would have been quite so blase' about it!!!!

Here are some of my favourites from the shoot.

Just for the Girls

Whether it be a framed print or a leather bound book of a selection of images taken from your shoot. Boudoir Fine art is exactly that..........FIne Art! Each session is tastefully done to bring out the best in you & all images are retouched giving you that Hello magazine flawless look.

Sarah & Neil's Pre wedding shoot

Sarah & Neil both work for the RAF & at the moment don't get to see each other as much as they'd like, so when I heard they were coming up to the Northeast for Christmas I thought it would be a good idea to hook up with them & take some pictures. What made it even more fun was the snow!!!! Although the temperatures felt like -10 it didn't seem to bother them (or at least if it did they didn't mention it)! The couple will be getting married in April this year at Linden Hall & with Neil being a Scot he has informed me the lads will all be in kilts (lets hope it's a wee bit warmer come April!!!! ;-)

Here are just a few of the images from their lifestyle shoot.

Snow & my girls

It was so nice to have a white Christmas, it hasn't snowed like this since I was a kid & it was great for my 3 little girls to experience snow at home for a change. We bought a super duper sledge & they played for days on it. Now that the snow has melted everything seems so dark in comparison, but I have my fingers crossed we're not out of it yet & more snow will arrive in the coming weeks!!!
