1 December 2009: Mr B's Party Session

Our favorite session of the past month was a real fun packed studio shoot. Iain and his son Jack are children's party entertainers so the shoot was full of props, music and some fantastic facial expressions. They are also serious Madness fans and as you can see from these images they didn't hold back in showing how much they love the band! They both couldn't wait to get back and see the images and are thrilled to bits with the results, here are a couple of our favorites.

29 October 2009: Rock 'n' Roll Session

The Fowles family came to us with the idea of finishing up with something “that little bit different” and they got just that! Beth and Josh Fowles are twins which made the session even more fun for us and we had a great time working with them. Josh brought along his electric guitar and Beth brought along her hobby lots and lots of different clothes to wear!! Therefore we were able to get some really cool rock and roll style shots of the two of them especially this one with Josh leaping through the air!
