Hi, phewee I cannot believe we are already in the middle of February. Time seems to be flying past and I did have plans to write more on my blog this year. I want to share ideas, offer photography tips which I find useful and share a few stories without breaking anyone’s confidence! So hopefully I will find time to introduce more of that and not just use my blog to post pics.

In the mean time here is an image taken from a shoot I did with ‘Nudge Drinks’ a new smoothie company which you will hopefully soon see on your supermarket shelves. Yummy smoothies made with frozen fresh fruit.

Some of my clients put off having a photo shoot because they are nervous, nervous about what is involved. They are worried about posing, insecure about certain parts of their body, unsure as to what to expect, and may have fears about how their images are shared and the confidentiality of the shoot.

It is completely natural to have all of these concerns, and it is my job as your photographer to reassure you and put your mind at ease. I always welcome people to visit me at my studio to talk through any concerns and never put anyone under any pressure to commit to a photo shoot if they are not sure.

Please contact me at lindsay@lindsaywakelinphotography.com to arrange a visit to my studio to talk about Wedding, Boudoir, Family or Corporate Photography. I make a great cuppa and am always happy to chat and show people my albums, my work and the studio.

To celebrate the launch of my new look website I am offering a crazily cheap deal for January. Please see my website for more details – http://www.boudoirvous.co.uk/

I love taking pictures of brothers, sisters and different generations, I try to make my photography about capturing something of that special relationship. Thankfully gone are the days of tense formal family shots, I invite my clients to think imaginatively about their images before the shoot but if they feel like they have no ideas and are nervous about posing then that’s fine too as I am used to helping people pose.

To view my studio please go to http://colchesterphotostudio.co.uk/studio-description.html

My Boudoir packages are designed for women by women they are completely confidential. My make-up and hair stylist will help you create a style of your choosing. All women over the age of 18yrs are welcome, most of my clients are above size 14 so please get in touch.

So, I do all kinds of photography and some of it is kept pretty secret purely to respect the privacy of my clients. To find out more please go to my website – http://boudoirvous.co.uk/

The changes that have been made to the London Docklands in the past 25 years have been among the most striking and most dynamic developments in the world. We decided to take a trip to Canary Wharf with our cameras at night. It was a  bit of a challenge for me as I didn’t have a tripod to use so all of these pics are taken using a long exposure and balancing my camera on something I found in the area like steps, tops of bollards etc

And it didn’t rain! Lucille and Andrew kept everything in the village, getting married at St Marys Church in Wivenhoe, having their Wedding breakfast at The Bakehouse and their evening reception at Wivenhoe Cricket club.
