Sorry Not Been Around

Hello All, I am so sorry for not being around to leave any blog.

The wedding was two weeks ago tomorrow, and it went really well, had a lovely day capturing the moments that make up their special day. We got some great pictures and thats what I have been doing, edit edit edit to make the pictures perfect for the bride and groom. The wedding took place at the Ivory Rooms in essex, (dont know if you have seen it on the only way is essex) its a lovely little venue shame it didnt have any gardens but their was a little bit of green space over the road where we took some pics. The bride had put so much hard work into her day, she even made the flowers (so very talented).

I had another shoot with a lovely 7 month old and her big sister and their lovely mummy, again got some beautiful shots even though she didnt want to be in many at first she was a natural in front of the camera, in fact they all had lots of lovely smiles for the camera.

As for the business we have decided to move away from the disc only packages and move into the prints and canvas packages, this is for several reason the main reason is that the quality of the highstreet printers is rubbish compared to the professional printers that I use the colours look so wrong when printered on an uncalibrated printer, and I didnt want this to show bad on my work, the other reason when asking people what they wanted and how and when they would print, most people lives are too busy for them to get the pictures printed and would like it done for them to take the stress out of resizing etc as I dont know if you have notice when your've done prints before and they have crop the picture in totally the wrong place and spoilt the print. Thats why we wanted to take the stress, hassle and work in getting them done for your instead.

I am currently on the hunt for newborns under two weeks old to photograph as I have purchased lots and lots of newborn props. So watch this space and send any pregnant ladies my way. I do bumps too, have a bump shoot next week to document this magical time so their will be pics soon.

I will leave you with a pic from the wedding, and remember its never to early to book your photographer for either your wedding or family/kids potraits.

So until next time take care.

Bank Holiday Bliss

Well after a lovely long bank holiday spent with family, and enjoying the lovely british weather, its all back to normal, hubby's back at work, Jessica started nursery part time today so I was left at home with the baby Amy and to get some background business work and editing done while it was quite without Jessica.

Got a couple of newborn shoots booked in, hopefully they wont be to late, you never know with babys, one of mine was early and the other late so its just a case of waiting and seeing, but looking forward to the arrivals as I have loads of new props on the way (some have already arrived).

In 4 day it will be the first wedding of the year, and i cant wait, I have cleared all the cards down and started getting myself prepared, I am really looking forward to it its a lovely vintage theme cant wait to see it all,the bride has put so much work into all of the details with lots homemade (a very talented lady). Will post pics after the event, Hopefully it will be a lovely day with no rain (touch wood), so far the weather man has said no rain just cloud so infact thats ideal as the sun should cause a glare.

I will leave you today with some lovely pics from the weekend from tropical wings.

Take care untill next time.

My First Ever Blog

Hello and welcome to my blog, this is my first ever post, so take a look at the about me section to find out a little bit more about me personally and the start of Sarahndipity Photography.

If you like what you see please take a look at my website or facebook page, the links are found to the right and down the page a bit (I think, if I have set this up right).

Well Its been a crazy couple of months in setting up Sarahndipity Photography, as well as the full time job of being a mum to two beautiful little girls.

 I initially had lots of booking while promotions run and now we are a little quite so I am taking the time (and the lovely weather to explore my camera and the outdoors with my girls and hubby) before it gets crazy again. I would love to be busy all the time but then when would we learn and develop when you have no time too.

I am looking forward to a wedding thats booked next week another chance to experience wedding photography, and hopefully to get into it a lot more, I already have some potential bookings for 2012 (I do love a good wedding,the dress the shoes the pretty little details and the love of two people is just amazing).

I am very excited about taking all the little steps and the time to make my business great. In the past few months I have found many new friends in the photography industry that have helped me on the way with help and advice and one of their biggest tips is it does take time and not to stress you will get there in the end, the early days are the hardest and there is lots to do in the background to keep you busy.

At the moment I am running a discount for newborn shoots since having some amazing new props and if anyone is intersted please contact me.
