Diva Kids


The last couple of months have been a real roller coaster and we have loved every minute of it. Who do we have to thank for this Adrenaline rush ...Kids!
To be honest it's hard work mentally and physically, I reckon I did 500 squats in one shoot coupled with a series of Lara Croft type manoeuvres just to get to their level but its worth it for the results. Every parent has been overcome with emotion & pure joy when they have seen the images, and yes I usually cry too!
We have been allowed to be creative, play and be crazy just so that we can capture every single moment.
The thing I love about kids is they don't hide their emotions be it delighted, grumpy, bored or silly..their faces show exactly what they are thinking and that is refreshing in an Adult world. So take in their beautiful and unguarded expressions and feel free to succumb to one if you feel like it to..go on, let go & SMILE!

To This...

You never know what you will get asked to shoot and for sure the extreme contrasts make it more fun. Watch out for the "Shabby Chic" Sofa it will be make star appearances from now on.Steve from the couple above has also warned me that I will require my mountain bike on the morning of the wedding, any ideas on how I will survive would be much appreciated!

Sorry we've been too Busy To Blog!!

Can you believe it , too busy to blog.

We have had a very exciting couple of weeks, filled with weddings , meetings and preparing for an exhibition at the Lighthouse in Wolverhampton -a big thanks to Jane at CultureGen for giving us this fantastic opportunity.

We have also teamed up with two visionary business Divas-Jane & Becky.We will be shooting a very exciting project for them in the next few weeks, we cant reveal too much yet but be rest assured we will post it when we get the go ahead from them.

Heres a few jaw dropping images from Jackie & Duncans wedding, they are absolutely fantastic friends and an amazing couple. I picked these "moments" out for there very strong cinemagraphic feel they convey a feeling of a bygone era-the pool room shots were snatched for about 15 minutes during the evening. We all hung out and had a blast-very Bonnie & Clyde!

P.s all shot with available light
