•November 13, 2008 • 2 CommentsHigh key lighting It’s amazing how good lighting can make you skin perfect. I also used one of my own Photoshop actions that I use on nearly every female portrait, including brides. I always soften the skin, remove little blemishes and sharpen the eyes to really make them pop.
Even top models and celebrities don’t have perfect skin!

•October 18, 2008 • 2 CommentsHow about these as a really different way to displaying your photographs. I am always trying to source something a little bit different when it comes to showing off your portraits.
I started to use these early summer for a few childrens portraits and they have really been popular with couples wanting them for their engagement photographs. Individual matted works of art inside a beautiful custom created box. Image Portfolio boxes are perfect for children, families, newborns or even a signature box for your wedding by placing a mat on every table for your guests to sign photographs from your engagement session.
What’s really cool about these is that you have a say in the colour and design of your portfolio box.
I just photographed a newborn baby and the parents are having four sessions, (one every 3 months) so at the end of the year they will have 16 beautiful matted portraits (4 images from each session) of their babies first year.
Just go to my website and drop me an Email or call me for further details.

Lauren’s Portrait Session
•August 15, 2008 • Leave a CommentI could not have wished for better weather for this photo session as it had been raining non stop for a few days. I had seen these barley fields and thought about placing someone wearing bright bold colours contrasting against the gold of the barley, but I knew it had to be a bright summers day.
It’s great when someone is willing to go along with your crazy ideas, the result… some really different portraits to hang on your wall or show off in a beautiful Portrait Book.
If your interested in a Portrait Session, please contact me through my website.

•July 26, 2008 • Leave a CommentColin and Kelly’s Engagement Session was so much fun that it went on longer than we had planned. It was a beautiful warm evening, the Mount Stewart Gardens were closed to the public so we had time to explore different areas of these beautiful gardens. This would be the perfect venue to have your wedding, so many fantastic buildings and different style gardens to use.
These guys are so organized, they have most of the details of their wedding planned, they even know the album they want, a beautiful Graphi Studio Wedding Book.
