6 week old baby girl, Grimsby photo shoot in black and white

2011-03-04T22:51:00.001Z

Part of the package that I offer clients is the chance to buy images on a disc, these are copyright free (means they can take them to their local photo printing place, and print out what they want). I give all the images in colour, black and white and Facebook ready which means they are edited to post on FB without any distorting of the images. So I have picked out some more photos (some you will already have seen in colour) in black and white, such a classic look I think .....

Thank you for looking

Build a Bear

2010-07-23T10:23:00.002+01:00

Aimee has wanted a Build a Bear since seeing Make a Moose on Hannah Montana, Aimee was lucky enough to receive some money at Christmas, and bless her she was been waiting ever since!!! AND when we went on Friday they had an offer on two bears for £22. Aime choose the blue bear cause it's her favourite colour and called it Lily, then with a little gentle pushing she choose the brown one (it's more traditional) and called her Rosie.

Next it was to choose a sound for the bears! She gave Lily a cute giggle and gave Rosie 6 sayings, even though it's a boy's voice, Aimee says she will just say Rosie has a cold!

She picked two beating hearts (freaky) to place inside them!

Now to fill up the bears! Love the saying that they have "LOVE IS THE STUFF INSIDE"

Now to place the hearts inside! Aimee played close attention to what the lady was telling her! She had to rub the hearts, place them next to her heart, blow kisses, make wishes, spin around, tell them she loved them! and place them inside the bears! This was so cool!!!

Now to give the bears a shampoo - the shower head blows blasts of air to fluff up the bears!

Then we had the fun time shopping for the bears!

Registering the bears and getting their birth certificates, Aimee was able to do all this by herself!

Finally getting the bears to bring home!

Aimee enjoyed the experience and treasures her bears all ready, they both have a special place on her bed!

Post wedding shoot!

2010-07-22T22:37:00.004+01:00

Here are some of the photos that I took from a post wedding shoot from the wedding that we photographed a few weeks ago. We went to Elsham Hall for the day, and what a beautiful day it was! Everything was relaxed and fun! No stress of the wedding day!

The following are photos of Izzie, just after she got dressed in her pretty flower girls dress! Alot of editing went into these as there was a lot of ugly background.

Took some very pretty photos in the beautiful gardens

Thought I would vintage these

This was taken in the little cottage on site

Taken in their beautiful wildflower section

Peek a boo!

Pretty little girl

A well deserved ice cream at the end of the day!

Steve took lots more photos of Laura and Nick, I concentrated on Izzie, go to foto Inspirations to see Steve's photos!

My photography blog!

2010-07-03T17:00:00.000+01:00

I have decided to have a separate blog, from my craft/personal blog All Glued Up!, just for all the photos that I take!

On this blog I will be sharing all the photos that I take at weddings, portrait sittings, babies, children, etc along with some of my personal, fun and playing around shots!

My husband Steve and myself have finally started to try and make a go of taking photography seriously and set our self's up as professional photographers, we have been playing around with this idea for ages!

We have a website up and running called foto-inspirations, please do take a look if you have the time!

Please bear with me as this blog will be changing colours and themes over the next few months until I find something that I am happy with!

Thanks for taking the time to read!
