Kayla and Matthew's Studio Portrait Shoot

I can't tell you how much fun I had photographing Kayla and her little brother Matthew - it was an absolute thrill! Shooting children (if I can put it like that lol!) is always a real scream but these two bundles of joy were simply great to work with. I've picked out just a few of the wonderful images we made, and the first one shows just how well they got on together - much to the surprise of Mum and Dad, too:

Louise and Jonny's Portraits

This afternoon I welcomed Louise and Jonny to Lisburn for their pre-wedding shoot. I was really looking forward to this session as Louise and Jonny were very eager to have their portraits taken together, even though their wedding isn't until 2013. The sitting went really well and we had a lot of fun as we went from shooting indoors under the studio lights to the big outdoor studio that is the business park where our premises are located. Here's a small collection of my favourite images:















Very cool looking shot to end on there, don't you think?

Clare, Umar and Erin

Clare and Umar came into the studio on Saturday afternoon for my second pre-wedding shoot of the day (images from my earlier session with Karen and Kieron are in the previous post, below). It was a great session, made all the more enjoyable by Clare's beautiful daughter Erin who had a mini-masterclass in the role of studio assistant. Clare's gorgeous smile in the first image shows just what a wonderful job Erin did! Of course, keeping Erin on my side of the camera would have been very selfish of me, and the last three images show just what a lovely model she made too. While the ladies stole the show, Umar was also great fun to work with and a true gentleman. Here are just a few of the lovely photographs we captured:















Looking forward to seeing you again soon,

Karen and Kieron's Pre-Wedding Shoot

This morning I spent an hour with a lovely couple, Karen and Kieron, taking their pre-wedding photographs. We had originally planned to shoot in a nearby park but the weather is at its old tricks again this weekend so we settled on doing the shoot at my studio in Lisburn. The studio, for those who don't know, is in Crescent Business Park on Enterprise Crescent. While it's usually bustling with activity during the week, at weekends it's relatively quiet and I think it offers a great setting for contemporary portraits. So we took some shots outside, using my neighbours' closed shutters for a modern backdrop, before heading inside for a selection of studio images. I had a great time with Karen and Kieron who made excellent sitters. Here are a few of my favourites from their shoot:















I think it worked out quite well taking some shots outside and others in the studio and made a nice change from shooting a full set of pre-wedding images on location. I'm looking forward to showing Karen and Kieron all their images very soon,
