Busy time in the studio

Lots of "Bump" shoots recently. I also had a lovely shoot with a 2 week old baby this week - working on that sitting shortly. I'm getting ready for the first judging of the Kodak awards - this is open to Professional Photographers throughout the UK. Thought I'd enter some of my pregnancy portraits this time.

Suzi's Bump shoots are photographed by her - not someone else. She has many years of experience in this field so you are guarenteed excellent results! Every session until August 2010 will have the opportunity to have an entry into the prestigious Kodak Awards.
To see some more examples of Suzi's pregnancy work, take a look at:

In view of all the publicity surrounding wedding photography, I thought I'd post some from recent weddings here.

Remember - if you book a photographer who is a qualified member of The master Photogrgaphers Association, you know you'll get the results you want!

Warning!

Yesterday the National News was full of how one photographer has been allegedly sued for truly dreadful work - just one of the many currently giving true Professional Photographers a bad name. A lot of them are new to the profession, many are unqualified, untrained or even part-timers, doing a full time job in the week and just earning a bit of spare cash at the weekend.I am a member of the only UK Qualifying Body for Full Time Professional Photographers - The Master Photographers Association. There are other Associations which look very convincing but allow ANYBODY to be a member!My clients can ask the MPA for binding arbitration in the unlikely circumstance of there ever being a dispute that we could not resolve between us.Please ask questions of your Photographer: are they insured, do they have a recognised qualification, can you see THEIR work, do you like them as a person, are they passionate about what they do or is it just for that bit of extra cash?Price is important, but don't spoil the wedding by shopping for price alone. Every wedding takes us 30-40 hours of work and uses skill levels built from many years experience and on-going training, let alone the thousands of pounds of photographic and computing equipment and back-up spares that are needed. When you use a qualified member of the MPA you can relax in the knowledge that you’re employing a true professional.

What a busy wedding season! Lots of couples looking for a female wedding photographer in Somerset. I've been working at some really nice venues this year. Bindon house - always a nice place for a wedding. I've covered venues from Bristol to parts of Devon. I recently photographed a wedding in my old home town of Exmouth. Weddings are now booked until 3 days before Christmas! Yes - 22nd December is my last one before we finish for the Christmas break.

Pregnancy shoots are becoming more and more popular. It's so comfortable for Mum-to-be to come to a peaceful, female-run studio for her pregnancy shoot. I do enjoy these sessions. It's such a special time - to be able to photograph someone when they're about to bring this new being into the world. Some coules (we love to see the expectant father as well) decide on an album of their Bump Shoot while others go for something special to hang on the bedroom wall. Either way, pregnancy portraiture certainly is in demand these days.

Got to photograph some amazing food recently - provided by Antonia's Kitchen. Take a look!

Don't know where the time has gone! Anyway, I've been busy photographing more weddings. Claire & Rob were married at Bindon House. A lovely setting for a lovely couple.

We were lucky with the weather - sunshine with a little cloud.

Alyson & Jon

A beautiful day for a wedding in somerset. A lovely couple - all the way from Seattle in USA!

If your thinking about a wedding in Somerset or a wedding in Devon, contact Suzi about your wedding photography.

Goodness! It's been ages since I last made an entry. How time flies. Got a couple of things today - a lovely Bump Shoot the other day. Just in time as the baby was due a matter of days after the sitting!

Next - how about this for a truly elegant bride.

Remember, for all your photography, look for a fully qualified professional, preferably a member of the MPA.

Nearly March!

Goodness, it's nearly March already! I shall be at Powderham Castle this coming weekend - February 28th and March 1st. It's the brand new South West Wedding Show and what a great show it should be! If you're getting married either this year (there are just a few dates still available) or next year, then this is the show to visit. Come and see me and find out about my "Show special" - I shall be in the marquee on stand M6.

Apart from getting ready for the wedding fair at Powderham Castle, I've been enjoying some more pregnancy photo-shoots. Take a look at some of these beautiful bumps.

Happy New Year!

It was great to have a bit of a break but now it’s back to work! However, during the holidays I was able to get some great family pictures in the studio

Lots to think about with the start of the new year. This month sees the launch of a brand new bridal magazine – Guide for the South West Bride. You’ll be able to see some of my wedding pictures in this lovely publication, including two of my weddings being featured in the “Social pages”

February 28th and March 1st are the first dates for your diaries. Come and see me on Stand M6 at The South West Wedding Show – being held at Powderham Castle, near Exeter. I shall be in the marquee and look forward to seeing you to chat about your wedding and help you select the best photographic coverage for your big day! I shall have some sample albums with me, as well as some lovely pictures – some of which will be in the new magazine.
