An engagement session (pre-wedding photo shoot) is a great chance to get to know your photographer and become more comfortable in front of the camera before your big day. It’s also an opportunity to get images to use in guestbooks, save the date cards, a display at the wedding, or just to have some nice relaxed photos of you and your partner.

I offer a complimentary engagement shoot with any wedding package booking. If you book a couple’s shoot with me and then subsequently book a wedding package (within 60 days), I’ll even credit the session fee toward your package price. Of course, you don’t have to be engaged to schedule a couple’s photo session! It can be a fun way to celebrate an anniversary or just say ‘I love you.’

I have a bad case of spring fever. These slightly longer, sunny days remind me that spring is just around the corner. I am itching to put away the big coat! I guess I can be patient – after all, I do love the absolutely gorgeous late winter light:

You may have noticed the new ‘Weddings’ tab in the menu up there. I’m very excited about it and will post more soon!

Meet my cat, Lily.

She adopted my family as her own just before christmas. She has a really quiet meow and a funny, high-pitched purr. I haven’t had a pet since my dog passed away when I was 15, (Fish don’t count.) and I love having a critter around the house again! I set myself a challenge recently to follow her around outside and get at least one nice shot of her. Here are a few of my favourites.

She’s quite a little beauty, isn’t she?

Hey all! I have really enjoyed my extended holiday break this year, but now it’s time to get fully back into the swing of things, including keeping up with the blog. Next week I have a momentous birthday coming up. That’s right, I’m turning 30! Yikes! I’m really looking forward to seeing what surprises are in store for me this year. This may just be the year I learn to walk in heels properly and venture into shooting weddings – um, but not at the same time! Time for the birthday special. (drumroll, please)

The Big 3-0 Offer:
Book a portrait session by 28 February 2010 and pay just £30 session fee! (That’s half-price)
Plus, take £30 off the price of any framed print or canvas gallery wrap 12×16 or larger!
Restrictions: Session includes up to 5 people. (You may add additional subjects for £10 each.)
Session must take place by 2 May, 2010.

Now is a great time to celebrate your Valentine’s engagement with a couple’s shoot or get those family portraits done for Mother’s Day! Just contact today to discuss your requirements and book your session.

Brrr, it is getting cold! And dark! I’m starting to wind down for the year. You may have noticed that the blog is now on the homepage. I really like the way it looks and feels. Apologies for the broken blog links! The search feature should make it easy to find what you’re looking for. Next on the list is completing shiny new galleries.

I have notified the Help-Portrait 2009 Winner, Trisha K, and scheduled her family portrait session. I’m looking forward to it! I’m also excited that it will be my final session of the year. Hooray for christmas break!

Watch this space for one final end of the year offer…
