Jodie's Photo Party

We did our first photo-shoot party of 2010 last Friday when Jodie came to celebrate her 15th Birthday with her friends.

With a fantastic group of girls we had a 2 hour photo party where they each had a selection of shots taken individually followed by a quick change of outfits before some fun group shots were done.

Hope you all enjoyed it girls and don't forget to choose your favourite picture for us to print for you.

With lots of parties now being booked for this year we hope the rest are as good. To book a party for yourself either for a birthday, hen-night or just a ladies night call us at the studio on:

Wedding Fair

On Tuesday 23rd and Wednesday 24th February I will be attending the wedding fair at The Pines Hotel in Chorley. The event begins at 5:30pm both nights and finishes at 9pm. Various companies will be in attendance so you can view all your wedding needs under one roof. At 7pm on both nights there will be a catwalk show showcasing some gorgeous dresses etc.

Wedding fairs are a great opporunity for you to look around at the various options available for todays couples and many companies will have special offers available for any bookings made at the time.

I offer a fully bespoke service as well as set packages for your wedding photography needs to suit all budgets. With enquiries for 2012 and many bookings now being taken for 2011 it is never too early to start planning. Being a relatively new studio there is still chance that this years date may be available.

So come along and see me and check out the special offers available.

Beautiful Twins

Well they do say that good things come in twos!

Alfy and James were brought down to the studio for their 1st portrait sitting last week. At only 2 weeks old we weren't expecting smiles but a chance to start capturing all the little details of the first few weeks. Tiny as they were a little manouvering of positions helped to prevent them kicking and smacking each other in the faces during the session. We even managed to persuade mum to come on a couple of pics with them where the babies kept tight hold of her fingers to stop her getting away no doubt! Not that she needed to worry, to look at her you wouldn't have guessed she'd just had twins!!!

We'll see them again in a few months time when they return for the 2nd shoot in their Baby's 1st Year package and it will be great to see the changes as they grow. Here are a few pics from the shoot.

Baby Portraits

I love doing baby portraits! Capturing all those little details and cherished moments from the first smiles to the first steps as toddlers. The majority of the sittings I undertake at the studio are involving these precious bundles and as a result I offer a varirty of watch-me-grow packages to help parents record their memories of this exciting time.

I am now introducing a special sitting and mini baby book which make an ideal gift for new parents or as christening presents. You will receive a studio based portrait session during which a variety of shots will be taken of your baby (and you if wished). About a week later you will be able to view the images back at the studio and select your favourite 10 to be printed and presented in a baby blue or pink mini book. The prints are approximately 6"x4" and are mounted behind overlays in an album with a bonded leather cover. The album is supplied with a matching box.

This special Baby's 1st Portrait sitting and mini book is available for £95.00

Gift Vouchers are available if you are purchasing this as a present for someone.

Location and Studio Portraits

A special offer for all studio or location portrait sittings booked before April 30th 2010.

Book in for a fun portrait session either in the studio or at a favourite outdoor location as the weather begins to improve. We will aim to capture those special moments between you and your loved ones with a selection of images which help to create the memories that will last a lifetime.

A location photo - shoot can result in some stunning images which are totally unique to your sitting. With beautiful locations available in the local area why not make the most of them and wrap up warmly for some early springtime fun. Before long the first of the spring flowers will begin to emerge which can produce gorgeous backgronds to the pictures. Shooting on location gives a much more relaxed feel to your pictures and are a great option for younger children with plenty of energy as we get them running, splashing in puddles, skimming stones etc. Or how about a nice romantic stroll with your partner through the chinese gardens at Rivington or the moorland near the Blue Lagoon at Belmont. 

Location sittings are a fantastic option for all and if everyone is dressed for the weather then they can still be undertaken in the snow and rain - and lets face it it's usually wet if we arrange to do something isn't it!

If the weather was really unsuitable though there is always the option of retreating back to the studio for a photo-shoot instead. 

When booking your location portrait we will have a discussion about possible locations and the type of images you would like capturing on the day. It is advisable to allow up to 2 hours for a location sitting or 1 hour for a studio session.

A week after the sitting you will be able to view the edited images via the computer back at the studio and from these you will select your favourites. Until the end of April 2010 there is a special offer available as detailed on the above image where you can choose 2 10"x8" prints and 4 7"x5" prints for only £95 - these can all be seperate images if wished. Obviously there are other options available from framed portraits and canvas wraps through to albums and acrylic designs. Please note that there is no separate charge for the photo-shoot itself if in the local area.
