Baby Photo Shoot for Essex Mother & Baby show 2012

Vote for Fraser - but you have to follow the link as only likes to his photo directly on the Essex Mother and Baby show count!

See the full gallery on Posterous

Fraser is a semi finalist to be the face of the show and if his photo gets the most likes (it HAS to be the one on the Essex Mother & Baby Show page on Facebook, NOT here)  he will win £250 to spend at the show. Well his Mummy will ;-)

Obviously I am biased as I photographed him, but he is a little cutie :-) The competition closes this Monday September 10th at 5 p.m. Thank you!

 

Model search! For a fun baby shoot with a difference :-)

I am seeking two cute babies up to the age of 8 months - in other words still happy to sit :-) Free session and NO obligation to do anything else. I need examples of hipstimatic/instragram baby photos to illustrate a piece I am writing for the Essex Baby Show to demonstrate how to take great photos of your baby on your phone using some of the apps available.

 

This won't be a standard shoot, but it will be fun and as I use these apps a lot for personal work so I'm confident of some quirky results. There's an example of one above from a recent trip to the beach with friends.

 

If you are interested please call 01279 433392. Shoots will take place this Friday September 7th at 2.30 p.m. and I'll need about an hour of your time. You must be happy for the photos to be used publicly including on the web.

 

Thanks!

The Great Big British Portrait Marathon Photographs

See the full gallery on Posterous

Photographs from the Great Big British Portrait Marathon are available here, with the option to purchase a print if you wish at a "never to be repeated" special price of £5 e.a. And if my Accountant sees this I am in BIG trouble :-)

Overall I photographed over 100 people, several dogs & cats and a chicken! My event raised over £250 for Macmillan Cancer Support, but the national event - The Great Big British Portrait Marathon - of which I was one cog/studio raised in excess of £8k and nearly 4,500 people had their photographs taken in what was one of the largest ever portrait sessions!

My thanks to everyone who supported!

The Great Big British Portrait Marathon has ended!

Thank you to everyone who joined in, even if you weren't expecting to. I had a Bride & Groom pop in after their wedding, Tulip the chicken, and discovered that photographing dogs is much like photographing wriggly toddlers - both can be bribed with biscuits or a ball! I bet the squeaky toys work just as well too :-)

A massive thank you to Mike Jackson (above with me) for taking the time out to bring the Olympic torch down and letting us use it for photographs. Overall I photographed over 100 people and raised £244.91 for Macmillan Cancer Support. Yay!

Photographs from the Great Big British Portrait Marathon weekend can be seen here.

Prints at a fiver each (plus postage at cost) can be ordered via this link.

 

Once again thank you! Sue
