Wow, wasn't the weather wierd today in Brighton & Hove. One minute it was really sunny, the next the rain was so hard it hurt!
Then it did it again!!!
One poor lady, who was coming in for a passport of her 4 month old baby, phoned and cancelled as she was trapped in her car across the road and didn't think she could make it...
Then the weather changed, she popped in just before we closed, and we got a great photo.
I have a wedding to photograph tomorrow (Friday) at Herstmonceux Castle (one of my favourite Sussex locations) so I will definately have a plan 'B' just in case, but it would be kind of cool to get some great 'weather' shots as well, just not all day!

Passport Photographs
Our first customer today was for passport photographs, who said it was worth spending a little extra to have peace of mind that they were correct.
Our youngest passport photo taken to date was just 3 days old and our oldest 103 (and going to USA!)
It's not just about getting the photo, it's a complete service from the moment we say hello, taking the photographs (where we are in no rush and the photos are looked at before printing), cutting the photos to the passport approved size, ensuring every customer leaves having enjoyed their passport experience.
Why dread sorting out your passport photos, when we can make it easy for you.......

Busy week for portraits
Wow! It's been so busy the last couple of days, I've not had time to post anything...
Lots of portrait sessions including Jane who was in for some Mum to be shots with her partner Mark, we got some great photographs I can't wait to show them...
We also photographed Shauna, who has just graduated, with her boyfriend and family. It's always lovely to see how proud everyone is when they have graduation shots done, well done Shauna!
Hopefully I will get some time (I love being busy ;) ) to put up a few of the photo's when they have seen them

St James Nursery, North Lancing
In the post this morning we received a lovely letter from Marion, Chairperson at St James Nursery, North Lancing saying that they hoped they had raised approximately £650!
She also thanked us for our donation.
I think we should thank everyone who helps on all committees, for schools, nurseries and playgroups, it's hard work raising money for the 'extras' that make life so much more enjoyable for the children, especially in these difficult times.
We are always happy to help...

Why use a professional wedding photographer
I had an interesting conversation with Peter who was advising me on advertising in two wedding dress brochures (both companies had requested me to be in their brochures) one for Opulence and Grace in Worthing, the other for Patricia Diamond in Shoreham.
We were talking about why you would want to hire a professional photographer and how would I convey that in an advert. I said that in the past I have had quite a few brides come in to the studio asking if there was anything I could do to improve their wedding photographs that had been taken by friends or part time photographers (which, unfortunately, there is not usually much that can be done).
He said "The dress is for a day, venue is for a day, cars are for a day, cake is for a day but the Photographs are for a lifetime..."
How true...

Thank you

"The pictures are wonderful, many thanks for your efforts on the night. I hope that those people who had their picture taken who didn't purchase on the night do visit your site!
I will definitely recommend you to others who need a photographer, the pictures really are stunning."
Thank you Lucy your kind words are very much apreciated
Cottesmore St. Mary's Summer Fair
Martine, from Cottesmore St. Mary's School PTA, has just dropped off a programme for their Summer Fair, on Saturday 11th July, 12 - 3pm.
We are helping them out by donating prizes for the raffle and advertising in the programme (page 5!), it looks great - one of the best school programmes we have seen, so well done to them...
We always try to help with local schools and nurseries etc., I was actually on my Son's PTA for nearly 3 years and I know how hard it is to organise and get sponsorship from local businesses.
Good luck with raising as much money as you can!

Models WANTED!
I'm looking for some ladies who would like to have their photographs taken in the Boudoir style, and don't mind me using the results for advertising. Although we do a lot of photography, because this is a little personal, not everyone wishes to have themselves appear in adverts or on my web site.
If this is for you, please call me at the studio during normal working hours and I will book you in for FREE and give you a 10"x8" folder print as well...

Welcome to our new blog...
First main post on this new blog site...
Later that day we went out to Beddingham, near Lewes to a field with a marquee and set up for an evening event for a charity ball, in aid of moving the local vicars organ... Seriously, apparently the organ is surrounded by asbestos and needs to be moved while it is cleared. Any additional money is to be split with two other charities.
Wow what a busy week it's been... Loads of portraits and viewings this week, most memorable a great session with Lisa on Friday for Boudoir photography, I know I got some great shots, and once I've shown them to her (and got her permission) I will add some to the blog...
Saturday was a very busy day started with a slightly unusual event, photographing a local schools summer fayre. They had a Darth Vader character with which we planned to take photographs of the children, slight oversight on the fact that most of them were too scarred to get near him ;) really should have seen that one coming, but it sounded like a good idea at the time... We did a similar day two years ago which went very well, that time they had a teddy bear costume, much more cuddly for infants!
Still a great day though and lots of parents came up to us and talked about having portrait sessions.
A great evening with some great shots using the superb background of the South Downs and of course some great people.
Also got some superb photographs of the sunset through the trees, bliss...
