It’s been a long time since I posted on here but I’ve really felt the need recently. I’ve always tried to act as professionally as possible in my short time as a practicing photographer, whether it has been during consultations or on shoots themselves. I have also been lucky enough to have some amazing clients.

Just recently however, I’ve felt self-doubt creep in after one particular shoot. Did I make everything clear enough during the consultation? Did I handle myself professionally during the shoot or could I have done better? I think it is always going to be the latter because you can never stop improving. On reflection, over all, I’m proud of the work that I did and my peers and professional acquaintances have helpfully reassured me that I my methods were sound.

They say every day is a school day and my last job definitely ticked all the necessary boxes, from now on I’ll be using contracts for all commercial jobs whether it is for friends or new relationships. If there is one main thing that I have learnt recently, communication is always key. Onwards and upwards. Here are some images from the shoot.

Our daughter Nell came home from school the other day with her school photos…Not the best. Our neighbour’s little lad who Nell is friends with, also had butterfly stitches on a cut for his. So, Bing! I’m doing a school photo session in our dining room on Saturday after a portrait session. Considering how photogenic Nell is, I was quite surprised at how bad the photo is, but then I guess she did have a cold. It’s not exactly a happy happy joy joy picture.

There’s nothing like being paid a compliment by a fellow professional. Thankyou very much https://www.facebook.com/pregnancyart. If the timing is right, I’m really looking forward to working with Cass again on a Bump Art shoot for a new Mum to be. Really rewarding work.
