I did a home portraiture photo session for the Armstrong family at the weekend. The 2 children Alistair (almost 2yrs) and Rose (3 months) were to be the main focus however we also made time for some family shots also. As these pictures were taken in the clients own home I had some setup to do before hand.

I thought it would be useful to list the equipment used and set-up for this shoot.

I went along to a family falconry day recently, where we all got an opportunity to learn about lots of different birds of pray as well as handle and fly them. Everyone had a great day and as ever I took a camera along to capture a few images of the family and the birds. The included slide show is made up from some of the pictures taken. Some of you may recognise the backing track as it was quite appropriate.

Suzanne and Stephen have been planning this day for a long time so when it eventually arrived you could see the excitement in everyone’s faces. The venue chosen for the wedding was the Burgh Hall in Pollokshaws Glasgow. This unique location within leafy Maxwell Park and the beautiful interior makes the Burgh Hall an extremely special venue for any event. Once again the weather was a concern on the day, we wanted to take advantage of the Maxwell park gardens however the forecast was for heavy rain in the afternoon. Thankfully we managed to get a nice selection of pictures outside before the rain eventually arrived. The whole day went very smoothly and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Below are a few of the images captures during the day.

I was in the studio last weekend photographing a few different families; however I also wanted to get some new picture of my 3 children, one of the most feared and challenging scenario, having to photograph your own children. As it transpired they were all well behaved and I managed to get some pretty good shots. The attached slide show is made up from just a few of the images taken during this session.

My first sunrise on this trip was to be over the prehistoric landsacpe on the North East cost of Skye, this area is know as the Quiraing.

The Quiraing is a landslip on the eastern face of Meall na Suiramach, the northernmost summit of the Trotternish Ridge on the Isle of Skye. The whole of the Trotternish Ridge escarpment was formed by a great series of landslips; the Quiraing is the only part of the slip still moving, the road at its base near Flodigarry requires repairs each year.

Parts of the distinctive landscape have earned particular names. The Needle is a jagged 120-foot (37 m) high landmark pinnacle, a remnant of landslipping. Northwest of it is The Table, a flat grassy area slipped down from the summit plateau, with vistas of the Torridon Hills and the mountains of Wester Ross. Southwest is the Prison, a pyramidal rocky peak which can look like a medieval keep when viewed from the right angle.

At long last the sun came out to play. It was my nephews birthday party which evolved into a full fledge water fight amongst the children and a few of the adults. This is what the summer should be all about.

Jacqueline and David have now taken receipt of their wedding day story book album. They are both delighted with the finished result and now have their album to treasure for many years to come. Once again congratulations to both Jacqueline and David, may you have many years of happiness together.
