Teenagers – so cool to photograph!

April 28, 2010 Posted inFamily Portraits

I remember a friend of mine, who is a photographer too, saying that it is the hardest to photograph teenagers, because it is sooooo uncool to pose for the camera! I have never had issues photographing teenagers, in fact, I absolutely love it! Firstly, mum and dad are not allowed to watch and pass comments like “smile”…! This usually makes things so much easier. Teenagers love to pose and look cool in photographs, but they would never admit that! I always have so much fun with them, and ask them what they like to do to look cool!

I could take pictures of teenagers all day long!

The two families came to my studio just a few days ago for some new photographs. We had an amazing afternoon!

Ruth and David now happily married – Doune Castle & Dunblane Hydro

April 11, 2010 Posted inA Selection of Weddings

On the most gorgeous day in April this year, Ruth and David said “I do” at Doune Castle yesterday. I spent a relaxed morning with Ruth and her bridesmaids getting ready atDunblane Hydro. The ceremony was at 1.30 pm at Doune Castle – only a 10 minute drive away from Dunblane Hydro. Ruth’s beautiful flowers were supplied by Val Hamilton Flowers from Linlithgow.

Ruth’s favourite colour is pink and this could be seen everywhere at her wedding: The chair covers were pink, her shoes were pink, her flowers were pink – it was so lovely to see it everywhere.

We spent a little bit of time with them after the ceremony creating some beautiful photographs. We stayed until the first dance and a little bit beyond to capture the fun of the evening.

Bending spoons and Red Hot Chili Pipers???

April 6, 2010 Posted inPotpourriTags: ,,,

Last Friday, I took some photographs during the performance of Drew McAdam at Pitlochry Festival Theatre. Drew baffled his audience with finding out numbers and guessing who took the £20 note by reading the body language of his participants. He also bent a few spoons and forks! And I can vouch for this – it’s not a pre-prepared piece of cutlery with a low melting point! This is what my dad suggested, so Drew asked me to bring one of my dad’s spoons. Drew bent it effortlessly and twisted it nicely!

Gregor ‘G-Man’ James from the Red Hot Chilli Pipers was also in the audience and took part in Drew’s mindplays!

It was an amazing evening and I can thoroughly recommend his performance. It will make you think!

I do – in South Queensferry!

April 6, 2010 Posted inA Selection of WeddingsTags: ,,

My favourite make-up artist Tracy Kane from South Queensferry tied the knot at the end of March in South Queensferry. She wore a fantastic light pink dress and had her veil over her face when she walked down the aisle. It was a very romantic ceremony with her closest friends and family, followed by a reception in Dalhousie Castle.

Lifestyle season has begun… in St Andrews!

April 6, 2010 Posted inFamily PortraitsTags: ,,,

On Sunday, we had our first family photo session in St Andrews! It was a very changeable day with a few showers, but this didn’t stop us from taking some amazing photographs at the beach and also at Fairmont Hotel.

After a light lunch at the Club House at Fairmont, an important time to get to know our clients and their children, we walked back to the hotel and already took some nice photographs of mum and the children. We then went on to St Andrews beach and dodged the showers and created a lovely story of the day.

Wendy was really nervous about having her photograph taken!

There is so much fun to be had during a photo session. It’s nothing to do with posing and sitting still in front of the camera, but more about laughter and what holds a family together.

I absolutely adore this photograph – this will look amazing on a big canvas!

April 2, 2010 Posted inA Selection of Weddings,Corporate,PressTags: ,

This is a great start to April 2010! Just received a copy of the Irish Wedding Magazine Confetti where some of our images were used to promote weddings in Edinburgh Castle, and we also received a copy of the Irish Wedding Diary, Ireland’s favourite wedding magazine.

It’s fantastic that our business is not only promoted in Scotland and the UK, but also internationally. Last year, we had clients from Abu Dhabi, the US, Kuwait, Republic of Ireland, Germany, France.
