We have been in contact with Amanda who is the lady behind Cakes By Design, and asked her if we can photograph some of her wedding cakes in our studio. Its a good time of year for us to be doing this sort of thing as its not so busy on the wedding front. She has said yes and we look forward to getting stuck in, to photographing them that is NOT eating them, although she does make the most delicious chocolate cakes, and the lemon sponge is quite something too. Honestly, we don't take a bite at weddings!!!!!! we just use Amanda when we have a special occasion that deserves a cake.

Put together a funky still life product catalogue today for a commercial client, it looks really vibrant and fun, which is what the brief called for, so we have ended the day on a pleasing note, which is good as it has rained on and off today and we really wanted to hit the beach to shoot some beach scenes for a new product range we will be putting on line soon....we will honest....time allowing. So although the wellies were in the porch and we were wrapped up and ready to go, the heavens opened and our plans were dashed, so we did the catalogue instead which was supposed to be tomorrow's job so we are a day ahead of ourselves. Come on sun shine, I want to go to the beach tomorrow..........

Sent off some "BUMP TO BABY" work last week, the parents asked for a second set to be sent to her mother as well, they called today to say they have received them and are delighted, I put the phone down, it rang again, this time the Grandmother, she was nearly in tears as she wasn't told anything about it, so it was a complete surprise. It was amazing both mother and daughter called in the space of a a few minutes, but what was even more amazing was just how thrilled they were with there photos. It was the final one so the baby is now one year old and the series runs from tiny swell of a bump to full on bump to new born to smiling baby, all in one frame. The parent are giving it as a gift to the baby to celebrate the first birthday and it will hang on the nursery wall.

Well I can hear my own baby waking up, so my work is over for the day but Ricks still beavering away, touching up, loading shots onto his computer and generally being very technical, looks like hes going to be working into the night............once again..........
