I’m firmly of the belief that it is critical for professional photographers to shoot personal photographic projects. I’m not in anyway suggesting that they need to be charitable, life-changing, in South-America, only in Black-and-White, or using some vintage or toy camera. Just that they need to be divorced from an immediate or existing client, direct payment, and on the terms of the photographer within the reasonable constraints of the subject matter/sponsor.

It’s that time of year again, and whilst we are just finishing off the retouching of a newborn portrait session, and preparing a gallery for the family, it won’t be long before we close the studio for the holiday period. The studio will be closed from Christmas Eve through to the 3rd January 2012 after which we will be open again for business. During this time we won’t be taking any appointments, callers, and it is likely that any phone calls will route to the answerphone. Please do leave a message !

The draw for the competition which we ran on our stand at the Hampshire Baby and Toddler Exhibition on the 12th November has taken place. EW from Southampton was the winner drawn out of the hat and she wins a newborn portrait session and a £50 credit towards any purchases.
