Band shoot

I recently had the pleasure of my 1st non family, none child photoshoot. In the days leading up to the shoot I was nervous as hell, but on the day I felt good about it all (not good in myself though, had a really bad allergy day). 2 of the members of the group are old friends of my hubby, the bloke & my hubby went to school together, so go waaaaay back. We had fun and I learned a lot as well.

So 1st the main 2 are also a duo so they wanted some casual, some more dressy of just the 2 of them. These 1st 2 will need to be re-edited as the colours are not consistent with the rest.



















Then we shot the main group









Then some of just the boys:







Then the threesome:



And an extra one of T because she was so fun to shoot!

Local & wild Red deer

Where I live are an awful lot of fallow deer, some sika & muntjac and a small herd of red deer. I finally found them about 2 weeks ago but I think I missed their rut :(

Naturally I wanted to get closer, damn you for not being a 500mm lens! I crept quite close before he finally noticed me. I'm surprised he couldn't hear my heart hammering! I'm also surprised this turned out I was shaking so bad! I only had a 200mm lens and this is NOT a crop. Now imagine how close I was to those antlers!



I started to feel very panicky when he suddenly sniffed the air and stood up straighter......



Thankfully he wasn't sure what to make of the camera clicking and walked away



Was just about to leave (as little legs fell into a puddle, lol!) when this young chap appeared as if by magic.

Bradgate Park 10/10/2010

It was a glorious day and we made a last minute choice to visit the park.

Some macro, some 365 shots

Opps! Catch-up time!

Phew, what a busy few weeks. There really ought to be 48 hours in a day. I have finally finished the Heartline Calender although it still needs to go to the printers. I finally got my 1st non family photoshoot under my belt and have been enjoying autumn and all it has to offer.

So here are some of my favourite shots of the kids from the last few weeks:
