Seems ages since I last blogged, or for that matter managed to fit a outdoor shoot into my schedule, but thats exactly what I did today. My victim, sorry, subject for the photoshoot was Oonagh, who isn't a model, but was originally one of our wedding clients and who recently booked in to the studio for a boudoir shoot. After a chat online she decided to come and have an outdoor shoot done

The Cosmic Girls, Stephanie and Charlotte, are twin sisters, who had a great start to their careers when they were chosen to be the backing singers of Duffy on her world tour. We were lucky enought to meet them at Stockton Riverside Firework Display in 2010, when they were performing in front of 100,000 people and we were one of the official photographers at the show, which also included a

After months of anticipation, we finally got the opportunity to work on the Tweet girls calendar in aid of Help For Heroes and The Bluelamp Foundation. The calendar is a collection of women, who all use Twitter across the country, getting down to bare essentials in a series of boudoir style shots, at four locations across the UK. We were delighted to be able to shoot the first one at

We were priviliged to be at the wedding of Nicola and Liam at Gisborough Hall, as we had been the photographers at the wedding of her brother Karl last year, so I am guessing we must have done something right.

We had the pleasure of photographing Chloe in the studio today. Although quite a late booking, we managed to squeeze quite a lot of shots into such a small space of time. Chloe was very patient as we took time to alter lighting and moving from set to set, but hopefully we got a great portfolio set from the shoot. Here are a few sample images.   If you would

With the current inclement weather, we have been unable to undertake several of our planned shoots. Firstly we had to cancel the family portrait session we had planned for Sunday as WE were snowed in. This was followed by a model shoot cancellation today, as the model couldn't get to us. Finally it now looks as if tomorrows commercial shoot with a local charity will have to be cancelled, as

Today saw us catch up again with Jennie, who came in for a portfolio shoot. Jennie last came to the studio a few weeks ago as part of a group shoot and we arranged for a one to one session, so we could work on a few new ideas, that we didn't have time for last time. Despite a few teething problems, we finally got the shoot underway, and although we had a slight boudoir theme to the shoot, we

It's been a little bit hectic over the last few days, as we worked to design our new website. Aftrer attending an SEO course last week, we felt the site wasn't working well enough in search engines, so decided to revamp and rewrite the content. With a new layout, we hope to attract more photography clients across the North East for weddings, portraits, maternity, makeover, boudoir, model

As a professional photography company, we know the importance of maintaining a good web presence. With that in mind, we undertook a day long course at Blackwell Grange hotel, normally one of our wedding venues, in search engine optimisation. The 8 hour course went through the basics to the more advanced methods of enhancing your online presence, and also incorporated internet marketing, such as

With my daughter, Hannah, I was at Stockton-on-Tees firework display for most of the day, photographing the build of the stage area, followed by the musical show, starring Joe McElderry, of X Factor fame, and the Real Radio breakfast team, Gary Philipson and Lisa Shaw. Also appearing were newcomers The Cosmic Girls. We had a great day and night, and here are a few photos from the show.

Since the weekend, we've been trying really hard to use social media sites, such as Facebook, Twiiter and Linkedin to gain a bit more exposure for the company. Amazingly, it has had a good effect, we have already gained a few followers and also contacts for business networking, which is a great start to our learning curve.

We had another of our group shoots today at the studio. Working from 9am to 5pm, we had a collection of photographers and models, coming from all around the North East and Yorkshire working through the day in all of our sets, creating some fantastic images. As usual, it was great to see some friendly faces we have seen before, but it was also nice to meet new friends too. After a long shoot, we

We done a variety of themes and sets, but here are just a random couple from the shoot If you would like to have a photoshoot

We first met Stephanie several weeks ago when she came to do some promotional work for the studio. She has a great personality and we'd spoken a couple of times about getting her in for a model portfolio photoshoot, but unfortunately things came up which prevented us getting together. Eventually though, we got the shoot organised for today and started bright and early and carried on way into the

We arrived at Hallgarth Hotel to photograph the wedding of Richie and Danielle. We've known Richie and Danielle for many years, and covered their engagement a few years ago. We've also known the families for some years too, so it was an honour to be asked to cover their wedding. The weather was great on the day and despite the fact there was another wedding taking place at the hotel at the same

Another model portfolio photoshoot this morning, this time with Jemma, who had travelled down the A1 to us from Newcastle. We began the day in the studio, a couple of hours in various sets and outfits, before we headed for some outdoor shots. We ended the day, at the incoming edge of The North Sea, as the tide rushed in, and which I can confirm was freezing cold, while Jemma did a dip or ten in

This morning we welcomed Tara to the studio for a model portfolio photoshoot. Although we had hoped for better weather to do some shots on location, it went against us and we had to stay in the studio. Here's a couple from the session. For details on having your own photoshoot, please

Melanie and Trevor are a fantastic couple, both of whom are completely blind, and after a couple of emails and a meeting at their home in Trimdon, they booked us to do their wedding photography They met on an online dating site for the blind, and 20 minutes after logging in had found each other, before Trevor took a trip from his home in Trimdon to Melanies home town of Hull. Despite this

Had an enjoyable time doing the wedding photography of Angela and Michael at Preston Hall in glorious sunshine. We began the day in Stockton at the home of Angela for her preparations before heading off to Preston Hall to meet Michael and prepare for the ceremony. After the ceremony, we took advantage of the victorian street at the hall for photos. Here are a few from the day.

Despite the varying weather forecasts we'd had in the run up to this wedding, it was a warm summers afternoon in Saltburn, for the wedding of Rachel Barlow and David Ledger at Rushpool Hall. We caught up early doors with Rachel in the bridal suite, with her bridesmaids, Beverley, Nicola and Laura, before leaving them to their champagne and meeting up with the groom David, Best Man Paul and

We continued our photography training course from yesterday with a new model today. Having met at the studio, we headed off to Ropner Park for a few natural light portrait shots before heading back to the studio to finish the day. Here are a few from the training course.

Spent the day in the studio and out locally on location for a training course with a couple of lovely ladies. Dawn had signed up for one of our courses and we had Danielle as our willing model for the day. Here are some of the shots that were taken during the training course.

What a day ! With a busy schedule ahead, we decided that today would be our day off as we're working through the weekend. The day started well enough with a well earned sleep in, well if you can regard 8.30am as a sleep in. Had breakfast and then the work began. With the new website about to be unveiled, we have been selecting images to show on the site, and having narrowed the selections down

Following several calls and emails, I went down to Manchester for a model portfolio photoshoot with 3 different models. One of the models, Emma, had an infectious personality, making us all smile throughout the day. She posed without direction throughout the day, as well as working with the other models to create individual ideas. Here are just a couple from that shoot

I'm always one for a worthy cause, as long as the worthy cause is usually me, but for this one I made an exception. The Race for Life, for those who don't know, is a national event organised annually, at different venues around the country, for women who want to run, jog or walk an organised route and raise money for Cancer Research at the same time. As my wife, Julie, lost her mum to this

Our business claws stretched that tiny bit further as we ventured into Northumberland for the first time for the wedding photography of Paul and Sarah. I say Northumberland in the broadest stretch of the term, as Derwent Manor Hotel, the venue for the wedding has a Northumberland address, but is just north of Consett in County Durham, still we were still out in the countryside, with beautiful

Having already completed a couple of model portfolio photoshoots for Laura's elder sister, Emily, we finally got to work with Laura. They both travelled over from Great Ayton for the shoot The shoot began with Laura having some shots taken in our main studio, before heading off to a local park. Despite a cloudy start, the sun came through as we headed off on our way to the Park, and from that

Beth got in touch recently about having a professional model portfolio shoot and we were happy to oblige. The day began meeting with Beth, and her mum Jo, in the studio, to discuss how the day would pan out, before leaving to shoot in a couple of nearby locations. Despite her young years, Beth got to work and was an absolute natural in front of the camera, and it was nigh on impossible to take a
