Busy time's............

Wow what a busy  2week's !!! Well I shot my very first wedding and I am so pleased the weather held out for us. It was a really tiring day but I really enjoyed sharing the special day with the couple and all their friends and family. I have also just had a busy weekend with three shoots, most I have done in one weekend in a long time. I am loving the on location shoots right now, the weather is lush and they are a lot of fun. I think it makes the children more relaxed and us adults have a giggle as well.

 

I have also had a wave of newborns the last few weeks and I am loving it.

 

I am in the middle of making yet more changes to K Lou, non of these changing will really take place till next year  but you have to start early to get everything sorted. I have now started to offer print's, I am hoping to still keep selling the CD's as I know this is what my clients want the most, however I don't then have control over where my clients get my work printed.

 

Most high street printers are not great quality and can ruin a good photo, so I have found a wonderful pro lab that has a wonderful quality to their prints  and are not very expensive. I try and look at this way, why spend good money on a photo shoot and then get cheap prints??

 

I am still drawing up a price list for the prints that will be put onto my site and FB page very soon. I am also going to be offering a range of goodies using your photos so watch this space........... K lou xx 

My first Wedding :-)

OMG….. Tomorrow I am shooting my very first wedding; I am a mixture of emotions really, part of me is soooo nervous, am not really sure what to expect or how fast paced it will be and another part of me is so excited to be taking on this challenge, to share such a special day with my clients and their friends and family and to get creative.

I am not sure yet if this will be a one off or if this is something that I would like to explore more this year and to just see where it takes me. I would love to be able to capture people’s special day but what a huge responsibly that is.

I have finally had a few newborns the last few weeks as well and I have to say I just love it. I am my most happiest when I get to capture a new little life. That newborn smell, their little fingers and toes, and that little wriggle that they do…..priceless.

Hopefully I will be able to share some photos of the lovely couple with you this weekend ….. K lou x

Getting set up........

I have had a wonderful weekend celebrating my husband’s birthday with a family picnic.Lots of good food, a walk through the woods and about a hundred spiders that just seem to want to crawl on me!!!!! We went to a lovely location One Tree Hill in Essex. I have been once before when I was on a hunt for Bluebells, and I am pleased to say I did find some and they looked stunning. I really enjoyed spending the morning taking lots of lovely photos of them. Here are a few for you to see. K Lou xx

My very first post :)

My very first post in my new lovely blog J Exciting times. Hello to everybody who has just joined, I am very excited after nearly a year of saying I would set up a blog that it has finally been done. I have had such a wonderful year, it’s been hard work having Rose, working full time in the city and trying to start up a new business but I have loved every minute of it. I have met some truly wonderful friends throughout my journey so far and have made some lovely friends in some of my clients. I was lucky enough on Saturday to be given the chance to shoot newborn twins Charlie and Chloe who were only 7 days old. This was the first time I had used only natural light and I must say I was really pleased with the outcome, it was also the first time I shot in RAW and I won’t be going back to JPEG anytime soon! Here is a little sneak peak of the some of the photos K-Lou x
