Studio Techniques
What a great day in the studio! My first shoot for the brand-new Pet Portraits Awards, a lovely Mummy and Me Shoot, then a wee family. Today I was shooting with the Nikon Df Camera tethered to an Apple MacBook Air, using my new Smart Shooter 3 app. It’s much easier to use than Nikon’s own transfer programmes, and cuts out one step in the workflow, for the images are already on the computer for processing, so no download after the clients have left.
Here’s my image of the day, Katie and hannah on the swing/dreamcatcher…

Summer’s Coming – so GET READY TO PICNIC!
At Dundonald, I’m getting ready for the Summer! This year our studio Summer Kid’s Theme will be ‘Teddy Bear’s Picnic!’ You can bring a couple of kids to have a lovely day out with their teddies – and some of our favourite soft toys will join in too! And especially TEMBO our very own little baby elephant.
There’ll be proper little cups and saucers in the Teddy Area, and juice and biccies, – all after some fun photos first with the green screen! Your Summer Teddy Bear’s Picnic will last around an hour.
Book the kids a Summer Treat! Available 1st May to 30th September

Terrible Twos? Not at all!
Terrible Twos? Not at all!
Someone once told me that when a baby turns two that marks the beginning of the ‘terrible twos’ – when all restraints are off, and baby does what she likes, when she likes, and learns to complain loudly when he or she doesn’t get her own way! But not always! Today for my single family portrait photography session at Dundonald, (I was at a wedding this afternoon) I had this really delightful little two-year old, whose activities were more than enough to provide fun for the camera! Including a great desire to carry a chair around with her! (A small Ikea child’s chair – I hasten to add!)
Here she is on the sheepskin rug in the studio..

Reaching for the Moon #Nikon, #Chromakey
Reaching Up…
An advantage of digital photography is the spontaneity that it allows, which makes family portrait photography so much fun,and so full of unexpected opportunities. One of yesterday’s family photo sessions at Dundonald featured a little girl who reached upwards, just as the camera was on her. What a great pose – totally unplanned, and so a great opportunity to show her reaching for the moon!
Shot on the Nikon D700, ISO200, f/10 at 1/125th sec, with studio lighting, against Chromakey ‘Greenscreen’ Backdrop.
