Some New Props

Had an hour to spare today, so nipped my youngest down to the studio to try out a few of my new studio props. Not the most professional session I've ever done, but had a few cute smiles.

Project 52

Not a new concept to any followers from America, however here not many will have heard of a 'Project 52'. Take a photography theme, be it life in the street, family, celebrations etc (just one theme) and take one photo every week for the 52 weeks of the year. Sounds simple enough doesn't it? But in truth it can be quite a bit more involved than that. You have to choose your theme, stick to your theme and be creative enough to keep it interesting and different for the whole year through, then in the end it needs to be able to tell the story of your year. At week one I'm wondering what on earth I was thinking. To make it worse, I've got other fellow photographers involved in their own project 52's all looking to me to lead the way and stick to it.

So now having two New Years Resolutions: 1. My Project 52 and 2. Blog more, I guess it seems fitting to blog my project 52 on a weekly basis.


Week 1:



"Every image shows a moment that captured my heart, and tells a story of time spent together"

Week one's image is of the newest edition to the Hughes household, little Kaitlyn Paige at 4 months old. I fell in love with her little pout in this image, although I'm sure when she's 15 her pout will be a lot less appealing.

ok so I'm rubbish at blogging!

It seem's that everyone in the world of photography has a blog. Whether they use it for tips, tricks and secret sharing or showing off work for all to see. I however I'm useless, give me facebook, I can keep you updated at hourly intervals, but blogging forget it.
So it seems fitting to make this one of my New Years resolutions, BLOG MORE! So here goes. I'll give it my best shot and hope you enjoy reading. Any hints along the way would be greatly appreciated.

Congratulations Kim & Stu

Congratulations on your engagment and thank you for allowing me to capture
these moments for you. I'm really looking forward to your big day.

A special thank you to The Wiggingtons for allowing me to follow them (with my camera) on their adventure to St. Fagan's. It was a lovely few hours.
