October Update

Welcome to your monthly update.... I failed again, miserably!

So what have I been up to this month? Well, loads actually! October has been mad busy, it was a friends Son's 21st Birthday where Hubby's performed magic - see his stuff at http://www.bobcatmagic.com/ he kicks ass, and I'm not even biased! Then it was Hubby's birthday, then we decided to finally get a dog and went on a hunt for the 'right' dog for us. We've now fallen in love with Bernese Mountain Dogs and pick up our new addition to the family (Bo) early December!

Aswell as that I've had a really busy month with Smewch, had some gorgggeous photoshoots, met some amazing new customers who have ended up becoming my new friends and all in all I feel very lucky!

Here are the snippets of my faves this month....

First Jo and her lovely family! This shoot was booked by Jo's mum, Lorraine and they're both as lovely and fun as each other. We had loads of fun shooting this one and Joseph was a little charmer flirting with us the whole photoshoot - love it!

Secondly, a different Jo ;) wanted photo's taken of her little boy who was THE most well mannered, lovely little boy ever. He was a real pleasure to photograph, full of beans and chatty. He had fabulous taste in football teams too ;)

Nic came with her Mum, Brother, Aunt & Cousin for a fun family shoot which was a gift for their grandparents. We had loads of fun and they were well up for everything we suggested to them, well done for effort, it was fab!

Suzie brough her little man along to be photographed and he was a right little character, full of smiles and mischief, just how little boys should be! His photoshoot is bursting with beaming cheeky grins and he was such a pleasure to photograph.

Anthony wanted new head/should shots for his acting portfolio, he has been on TV for the likes of Shameless & Peter Kay's 'Britain's Got The Pop Factor'. Keep your eyes out for him!

Suzie came with her family to have a photoshoot, it was loads of fun, from jumping, spinning, tickling, hopping, fairy princess outfits, fairy wings and spinny chairs it was all go-go-go!

The photo's have come out brilliantly and like so many other shoots I couldn't pick just one so again I have picked a montage.

Next we have Angie's gorgeous Grandaughter who was a right little smiler who loved the fairy wings and wand props (girl after my own heart). Nanny and Grandad were suprised when she began sitting up all by herself for the first time during her photoshoot, she was keeping it secret so we could capture the moment I think!

This photoshoot was bought for Simone and Marc as a wedding present from Simone's colleagues. They brought along their little girl who was hysterical and reminded me of a female version of my own little boy. She told me Santa is bringing her the softest, fluffiest pinkest slippers in the world, bringing Daddy a fishing rod (and some fish) and Mummy a jumper!

I hope you get your slippers Alyse!

Kerry brought her two daughters Emily & Alice. Emily was a very cool 9 yr old with fab music taste and Alice was giggly and kept boinging around and sitting like a frog! Really loved this shoot as they reminded me of my Sis and me at their age (same age gap)

I've known Jennie for yearrrrs, we worked together years ago when her girls were the same age as my little boy and now look at them! Lainey and Amber are SUCH tomboys! We had slow mo' penalties, headers, dirty dives and countless other football moves and again they had good taste in their football strip ;)

Phew, nearly there!

I photographed this gorgeous family when Gracie was 6 weeks old, she's now 4 months old and look at her! Isn't she gorgeous? They're booked in on the Newborn Package so I shall be seeing them again in February when Gracie is 8 months old and I cannot wait!

Lastly and by no means leastly.

Smewch is supporting Breast Cancer Campaign throughout November by offering 10% of my profits to this amazing charity. Any orders placed or any bookings made will be totalled at the end of the month and 10% donated.

I often do boudoir sittings and encourage woman to embrace their curves and increase their confidence. I wanted to link the two together as many women who have had breast cancer feel they've lost some of their femininity, especially if they've had a mastectomy. As Gok would say, ladies embrace your lucious curves and celebrate your fabness!

These are a few shoots done this month in our Boudoir range.

So there we go! I told you it had been a hectic busy month! I hope you've all had a fab October and November is even better for you. Not long till Christmas guys ;)
