JAMES & SAM.

Wow, this is amazing. You get a puppy and suddenly your teenager, who would rather do anything other than spend time with you having his photo taken, doesn’t mind hanging out for 3 mins in the garden as long as he can have his picture taken with the dog. This is such a rare occasion that you don’t even care that he has a t-shirt with a less than appealing logo on it or that he spends 2 mins out of the 3 texting his friends

MEET SAM.

Meet the latest addition to our family! Don’t be fooled by the sad puppy dog eyes, this puppy can chew and pee for England and take a look at the size of his paws – definitely made for digging! I am currently mopping as fast as he can pee and he’s already destroyed a pair of headphones (teenage kids do not put anything away). But oh how cute he is. How he melts my heart when he sleeps upside down in my arms. How lovely he smells when he buries his soft head into my neck. I’m totally smitten and when he looks at me with those eyes I could almost forgive him anything.

BACK TO WORK

Finally!!! After 5 long months in the photography wilderness recovering from my second back operation I have managed to do my first photoshoot. I couldn’t have asked for a better subject and this blog is part one of two. Isn’t she just GORGEOUS with her big eyes and soft, fluffy hair. The shoot put me through my paces, lying on the floor with a camera is not the best for a bad back but when you have a subject like this, you’ll do what it takes. I walked into the house and saw the red blanket and just had to use it. Look out for the next instalment coming soon.

I also want to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to everyone (you know who you are) who has supported me through this tough time – I owe you all an awful lot. Sarah x

MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER (AND HER MAC)

Sarah — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 15:36:33 +0000

Pleeeeeeease let me take some pictures of you. I don’t care if you wear braces and that you don’t want to smile. You are beautiful, the light is beautiful and I want to take some pictures… pleeeeeeeease – I’ll give you extra pocket money? You can take your Mac? DEAL!! The end result, as you can see, was my gorgeous girl and her precious laptop in a field as the sun went down. Maybe it’s a strange combination but these pictures really sum her up right now as, like most teenagers, her precious Mac is glued to her finger tips for every waking second she can get away with.

I know having your mum nag you into having your photo taken is just SOOOO BORING but I have to say to you my precious girl, that I love you so very much, you are just beautiful (braces or not) and maybe one day you’ll look back and smile when you remember when your mad old mother made you walk through fields to have your photo taken with your Mac. x x x

Birthday gift.

I was recently asked to help out my fellow photographer and friend Charlie Johnson with an idea he had for a present for his wife’s “significant” birthday. As you can see below that involved taking fab pictures of Charlie and his two gorgeous boys running, jumping and rolling around in a field of buttercups. I’m not sure who enjoyed it the most, Charlie or the boys but I left behind two over excited little boys who were sworn to secrecy and an exhausted dad desperate for the nearest glass of wine All the images were presented in a gorgeous Queensberry album much to the delight of his lovely wife Fleur and needless to say, lots of brownie points were earned that day for Charlie.

I’m a little late with blogging on this subject but a couple of weeks ago I was invited to the Getty Image Gallery in London to receive my prize for Best Portrait Album in the Annabel Williams Photography Awards 2009. The awards are held bi-annually and entries were received from professional photographers from around the world. Judges included photography industry experts including Queensberry Albums and Canon UK as well as Annabel herself.

The judges kindly had the following to say…

‘Sarah’s portrait album demonstrated blindingly good photography, executed with total assurance of vision, composition and skill. She’s used extraordinarily good cropping and a wonderful range of shots. Fantastic, simple and powerful design.’

I was totally thrilled to win and it was great to catch up with some old faces as well as meet some amazing new photographers. The following images are courtesy of Jo at Shoot-Lifestyle, who deservedly won Best Wedding Album. In the pictures you can see (L to R) Simon & Jo (Shoot-Lifestyle), Gill Maheu – runner up Best Portrait Album, who came all the way from Geneva and John Archibald who came runner up in the Best Children’s image – my favourite image from the entire competition. It was great to meet you all, please keep in touch.

California Dreaming

Just to start the new blog ball rolling, here are a few personal pics from a recent trip to Laguna Beach in California. As my kids currently think the sun and moon rises in Abercrombie & Fitch and maxed out my credit card in their store, I tried a couple of shots in a similar style.
