family portraits regents park

storme — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 07:38:06 +0000

With the first signs of spring appearing as the clouds made way for some golden sunshine, early Sunday morning I met with the lovely ‘S’ family for some family portraits. They chose a morning session which includes both studio & location photographs.
Little boy ‘S’ was the star of the show, as you can see from the pictures, he loved every minute & stole the limelight. We managed to do nearly a 3 hour session at which point most children have had ‘enough already’! but ‘S’ wanted to keep going & said at the end of the session “more photos lady”!
And I could have continued photographing him (& listening to his fascinating running commentary!) all day too.
I had a wonderful time, it was a pleasure to photograph your lovely family.
I am pleased we waited for the long winter to pass & we were rewarded a beautiful day for the long wait!
Here are a few of my favourites from the studio session…. location photographs still to come….

mother’s day portraits

storme — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 11:02:52 +0000

Just in time for Mother’s Day this Sunday, here are some tender moments from last week’s session with Mum ‘L’ & babe ‘E’.
Baby girl was so calm & surprised Mum with her co-operation for the photos & surprised Mum even more when a wet patch appeared on her jeans!
I think you’ll agree that Mum ‘L’ looks radiant & 10 week old ‘E’ is just adorable… I love that ‘Tintinesque’ tuft of hair!
Here’s a sneak peek of some of the photographs from the session…

Wishing all Mums out there a lovely Mother’s Day full of tender moments, sloppy wet kisses, scrumptuous cuddles, talented artwork & if you are really lucky a sterling burnt breakfast!
And to my beautiful Mum, I love you & I am blessed to have you as my Mum

And for Mums around the world….

A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.

Who fed me from her gentle breast
And hushed me in her arms to rest,
And on my cheek sweet kisses prest?
My Mother.

On yet another torrential rainy afternoon we decided to stay dry indoors & photograph an indoor session.
Here are a few great character portraits of a shining knight who also happens to be a whizz at lego, maths, history, drama, swimming…… the list goes on.

As part of my ongoing project with Oomphalos, I photographed one of the ballet classes they offer.
Next time I must remember to capture the pride in the faces of Mums & Dads as well as the fabulous performances & tender cuddles from tomorrow’s Margot Fonteyns’ & Billy Elliots’ of the world.
Good toes, naughty toes…..

cousin portraits

An active & fun morning playing chase in the garden, swinging, climbing trampolining… photographing three families of close & loving cousins.
Here is a sneak preview of a selection of images from the morning session

Dutch Interiors test shoot

storme — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 09:31:49 +0000

These are some images I took as a test shoot experimenting with lighting as used by the Dutch Interior artists, such as Vermeer, Van Dyk & the most well known Rembrant.
This was a poignant artistic development that originated in Holland in the 17th Century & marked a movement of vast diversity of subject matter from the most elevated themes to the humblest subject matters, such as still lifes and scenes of everyday life, it shows an appreciation for different subjects and styles, as well as for individual interpretations and points of view.
I admire in particular the lighting & tonal qualities & the fact the portraits exude a sense of authority and individuality, even when the beholder knows that the subject cannot be identified.
A big thank you to my gorgeous models, you were fantastic…. It was good fun & another girlie excuse to rummage through bags of clothes & boxes of jewelry! I think as a team we certainly managed to achieve the results I was hoping for & some lovely memories for the girls too.

Happy New Year to all from a very cold, white & wintery London!

winter by the fire…

Winter came down to our home one night
Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow,
And we, we were children once again.
