Stylised Child Portraits at Cliveden {The Sneak Peek}

Cliveden House is an amazingly gorgeous location and the perfect backdrop for a special day.  Last week, we shot the layout for the winter edition of The Little Book - Windsor.  It was so much fun...

The kids looked fabulous in their outfits and they loved playing to the different storylines we set for each scene! I couldn't wait to share this sneak peek.  More to come here and...if you live in Windsor...in hardcopy around town.  Stay tuned!! 

Child Portrait Session: Eton Bridge and The Red Balloons

Sometimes it doesn't take many props, locations or outfits to produce great portraits.  Sometimes all it takes is one great place, a polka-dotted dress and some balloons to evoke your fantasy.  Oh yes, and the willingness to get up early on a Saturday morning... 

We were shooting for the next issue of The Little Book of Windsor magazine (coming out in November...if you are local, watch for it in the stores! It will be fabulous!)

These are the outtakes.  I'll share the final cover image once the magazine is published. 

The model arrives on set with her 'entourage' of animals.

As the fog fades away (sadly!) the shoot begins:

Time for a rest:

Twirling is such fun!

Juice and a job well done. 

Eton College: A Family Portrait Session Sneak Peek

We are so lucky to have an endless supply of great portrait locations in and around Windsor.  As the summer holidays have arrived, I took this family to the empty playing fields of Eton College.  The dogs were thrilled, the girls looked gorgeous, the parents were enthusiastic, and the weather cooperated!  Hoorah!

Raleigh, NC: Family

Families...what would we do without them? They come in all shapes and sizes.  And there is nothing so special, or so frustrating, as the one you call your own.  I live an ocean away from mine, and though we get back at least twice a year....it is never enough.  Time always flies during our holidays at home. This last time we managed to squeeze in a mini-shoot nonetheless. Enjoy...

Summertime is Magic Time

Magic happens on days like today.  This is what it looked like.
