I got together with my brilliant make-up artist and hair stylist to do a fun shoot Halloween styley.

Boudoir vous is the name of my website and company name for my Boudoir photography, which in the main is treating women of all shapes and sizes, ages and backgrounds to a fantastic make-over and photography session. Shelly is the hair stylist (picture below) and Chantelle the make-up artist (the girl with the cut throat) they make each client feel like a million dollars by glamming them up or giving them a beautiful soft feminine look. Then the client decide what kinds of images they want and off we go, the service is completely bespoke and unique to each person. At Boudoir Vous we pride ourselves in what we do and every client to date has left the studio smiling and pleased with the results.

We took advantage of the good weather and flew off to Holland for a long w.end, I decided to pick just one lens my 35mm Prime to take as I know I have done this in the past especially with a lens I don’t often use to just remind myself of its capabilities and strengths. I was determined to try out a bit of street photography, something I have been nervous of in the past, I never want to upset or offend anyone by pointing the camera but at the same time I do love to take pictures of people just doing real things in the moment.

Because I do so many different types of photography, I have different websites for each.Click on the images below to go to each site…

Simon has a Colchester based company SAS Accounting, he wanted some images of himself so his clients can see who they are dealing with.

I often take pictures which never get posted or seen by anyone, mainly because I take them for my own pleasure but also because often they do not seem to fit into any particular category. I can spend hours photographing something which has caught my eye, this lilly was calling out for attention so I couldn’t ignore it.

So yesterday I took some time out to go to the first Colchester Means Business Expo at Charter Hall in Colchester. Free entrance and free parking which is always good, I knew there would be lots of people there some of whom I know, so it was a perfect opportunity to network and also to get out and mingle. Being self employed can sometimes be quite isolating so it’s always good to take a break and catch up with others.

I wore a branded T shirt left over from an event I took part in last year at the Castle Park. I figured there would be lots of suits attending so thought I would try and stand out a little, I felt a bit self conscious at first but soon relaxed when I saw some familiar faces.

This was just before myself Adrian and Chris decided to brave the speed networking session, which was super loud, mad and fun. Thanks to everyone who organised the day, it was definitely worthwhile attending I picked up some really useful contacts and fingers crossed have also got some work coming from it.

Mark came to have his portrait taken at my studio in Colchester, he wants to add an image of himself to his website so people can see who they are dealing with. Mark supplies labels for products and as he told me more about the interesting world of ribbons & labels he noticed the labels on my Bowens studio lights (which are a few years old now) were ones which he had supplied years ago! These labels had to be made to withstand heat as the lights heat up, so the glue and material used to produce the label is very important.

They still look in great condition so Mark obviously got it spot on. To find out more about Marks labelling products please visit his website Ribbon & Labels Supplies.
