Jane and Daryl’s wedding

Oh I do love a wedding……….best day of your life.  Much better than childbirth!  This was a fantastic venue . Walcot Hall in Lydbury, North Shropshire. A beautiful stately home with a very friendly, warm, relaxed feel. I loved the chickens running around the front of the house. I have photographed Jane before as a bridesmaid so it was a pleasure to photograph her as the bride. What a beautiful bride she was too. I love making people feel relaxed and taking the really natural ones. I always think they are the best!  There was lots of laughter at this wedding . I had a great day I hope you can tell!

Jacki Rodikis

My life as a family photographer is incredibly fulfilling and rewarding. I love the people I meet and get a unique glimpse into their lives. Sometimes I feel honoured to be asked to capture peoples lives. This next client I have photographed on a few occasions with her family. However this was this was one of those moments where I felt truly honoured. I was asked to photograph the launch of her first book ‘ Because you’re a Woman’. It is the true, honest story of her tragic life and how she overcomes the terrible abuse inflicted upon her. Very easy to read . I know it sounds like a cliche but I swear I could not put this book down.

June 15, 2010 - 9:29 pm Jacki Rodikis - Laura has photographed me, my children and grandchildren on several occasions in the past few years and I have always been delighted with the results. Her knack of picking the right moment to take a picture is amazing. So it was no difficult decision to ask her to photograph one of the most important days in my life - the launch party for my book 'Because you're a Woman'. And once again she came up trumps. The resulting set of pictures will be a wonderful lifelong reminder of this very special day.

Florence

Well, as you can tell I am on a role with gorgeous babies at the moment. However each baby, family, home is unique. Hopefully this is reflected in my photos. I just let things happen and use my heart when I see something. I was delighted to be asked to photograph Florence at her home. She was a very placid baby who enjoyed lots of attention. However all that attention can be tiring! She seemed to nod off quite easily with the little help from gentle rocking and her thumb! Perfect.

Luka and Maya

Camilla was very generously  bought a photo shoot from one of my clients. It was to celebrate the arrival of Luka. Very gorgeous he was too. I went to visit them at home, despite having the builders in for a kitchen extension. There is no time like the present. No point in waiting for the perfect moment…. as the moment is now. Fortunately Luka and Maya were a delight to photograph so  it made my job very easy. Maya loved watching her little brother ( and the TV). What struck me about both Luka and Maya is they shared the most beautiful skin and dark engaging eyes. Lucky them! My favourite is the one of Maya looking over mummies shoulder. Hope you have a great holiday and that volcano behaves itself.




Volcanic Ash

Well I must apologise for being so behind with my blogs. I blame it on this Volcanic Ash !! We did get caught up in the flight disruption and were stranded in Hungary. However I consider ourselves the lucky ones. We did manage to get a coach home. Once you accepted that it was a long old journey back and there wasn’t much you could do about it. I almost quite enjoyed it. Nothing to do for 24hrs ……just staring out the window. Quite relaxing really! I will post some of my holiday pics soon ………..if you’re interested?

Promise.
