Starstruck - J* Workshop in London

Back in April I was relaxing by the pool of the fabby Lucknam Park spa hotel in the Cotswolds when I almost fell off my lounger upon discovering that photographer Jasmine Star was coming to give a workshop in London. Now, I am a HUGE fan of Jasmine's and the thought of missing out this opportunity was enough to have me hot-footing it across to the main hotel (in my robe) to register.

.....And boy am I glad I did.

The course was all about the 8 principles of branding, of which J* is an expert! Suffice to say, it was HUGELY inspiring (I can't even begin to explain how amazing it was!) and I have lots of work to do to act upon my new found knowledge. So watch this space..... :)

One of the best parts of the course was meeting such an amazing group of fellow photographers, who I hope I will remain in contact with for years to come.

A small part of the day was devoted to shooting. Which was tricky because not only was I completely distracted by wanting to watch Jasmine in action, but I was also forced to shoot in Manual mode which is a whole different ball game to my comfort zone of Aperture Priority which I find lends itself so well to my fast paced baby photography

Check out how gorgeous Rachel and Dan are!

1 Year Photography in Chertsey: Preview

I first met Caroline and Matt and their little one back in September last year when Will was just 5 months only.

They took up the First Year Baby Plan and so with the summer rolling on it was a good time for my second visit! Will was a little unsure of me and the camera at first, but I luckily I had my secret weapon safely tucked in my bag as always - I find that blowing bubbles (alongside REALLY bad singing) is usually enough to draw even the most reluctant of little people out of their shell, to allow us to capture some of those beautiful smiles that I love so much.

Caroline & Matt, great to see you again and many congratulations on your exciting news! I hope you love these first few shots.

It was my second visit to little Zach and his Mummy & Daddy as part of the 1st Year Package, and it was so lovely to see them all and discover how much he's grown since last summer! He was brilliant, despite us waking him up super early! We started at home and then headed outside for some fresh air by the river. As always, a few of my faves below.....

Ronell & Nick, I know you will be looking forward to seeing these...enjoy your preview! Posted with love, Lucy xx
