Ellie's Intimate Teaser ...

I have quite a bit to catch up on ... today I finally got around to processing an Intimates session I shot with Ellie recently ... this shot really caught my eye. I think it has a sort of timeless quality and I would love to hear your thoughts on it ... something quite different for me.

For the geeks, 5D, 50 1.2 at 1.2, video light.

Sian & Ryan - PWS - Stafford

Last Sunday found me in Stafford, not far from home, in the park with Sian and Ryan for their Pre-Wedding Shoot ! They are actually not getting married until 8th August and are going to be entertaining their guests at the fabulous Rowton Castle in Shrewsbury - a stunning venue, I think you will agree.

Ryan is shipping out to Cyprus tomorrow for a 3-year stint with the RAF, so it was vital we got the shoot done so early ! The timing was hilarious, however, as Ryan's going-away "do" was the night before and was apparently very very good ... at least, that was judging by the hangovers LOL

Bad heads aside, we had a lot of fun and the resulting shots raised a large smile to their faces :)

Here are some of my favourites from the shoot ...

Ryan, best of luck with the move and I look forward to seeing you both in August !

Look forward to seeing you there :)

Happy (Early) Valentines everyone !!!

I know, I know, it's not til Saturday, but as that is also my husband's birthday AND we have friends coming over from Ireland in a few hours AND I have a bridal fayre on Sunday, well, I'm not going to be around much !! So, I thought I'd a. make all the ladies jealous and b. all the husbands nervous by posting about my surprise gift !

We don't usually celebrate valentines at chez Taylor, basically because it's John's birthday and that is enough to be getting on with :) So, imagine my surprise when I got my early pressie ... I was sitting processing a pre wedding shoot when I got a little box placed on my desk ... I opened it to reveal this ...

I know, gorgeous, isn't it !!! I am sooo into vintage jewellery, brooches, that sort of thing, and had admired this in the jewellers ages ago, thinking nothing more of it !

Thank you so much, John, it is really beautiful and I can't wait to wear it with something glam to really show it off.

Love and smush, your wifey !! xxx

Headshots !

I'm here, honestly, I am !!! :)

I've been pretty busy this past week, so I'll be blogging some over the next few days !

I had the pleasure of shooting some headshots for a web company in Stafford, RapidWeb, who are currently designing a fab new website for a local firm of accountants, Cheadle Accounts (check back soon for the newly designed site and, of course, the photos from the shoot).

In the meantime, here are the staff ... we had a lot of fun !!

Last, but by no means least, the boss !!

Some working shots around the office ...

And, of course, no shoot in town would be complete without a mooch round to ...

Things to do in the Snow ...

I love snow ! Especially when you don't have anywhere to go, you can cosy up all warm and snuggly in the house ... at least, that's what Tess decided was the best course of action today ...

Cute, or what !

Stay safe, everyone ... and stay indoors if you can !
