Elliott Michelle

We are enjoying our little girl and she always makes us smile just looking at her!

She is irresistible, I have such a hard time putting her down and leaving her to sleep in her crib or bouncy seat. She just snuggles up on my chest and sleeps and watching her and listening to her breathing is so satisfying and amazing all at the same time.

Vanessa has already warned me that if I spoil her I will have to deal with the fallout but I think I can manage…

How do you resist that face??

 
 

 

I am one proud Papa!

One day old!

Our little girl is 1 day old and the absolute apple of our eye!

Our Little Girl!

Elliott Michelle Sweeney was born this morning at 9:19 AM on 25/03/2011 She was 8.7 pounds and we haven’t measured her yet! She is an angel through and through such a good baby and if I do say so myself a beautiful little girl!

 

Bethany Wilson

 

On Sunday afternoon I met Bethany and her mum Sarah for a Photo Shoot at Lickey Hills It was a windy day on top of the hill but a beautiful day for photographs. Bethany brought along her aunt, her little brother and sister to help complete the day. Bethany has an interest in modeling and I thought she did  very well as this was her first portfolio style shoot.  It was an enjoyable day and we look forward to working with Bethany again soon as she expands her portfolio!  We have found these one hour shoots really do help to boost a teen or pre-teens confidence and self image.

Please enjoy a few of the photographs from her day!

 

We wish Bethany all the best in her aspirations and dreams of working as a model!

Vintage Bride

 

Well the past few days have found Vanessa and I very busy! Saturday we shot a party for the kids at Acorns which is a hospice care center for children. We found ourselves amazed and humbled at the work these kind and real hero’s do with these very special children. Acorns is a very, very special place and it will be the topic of a blog post in the next few days. We are excited to share this story with you and want to give it the proper attention it deserves.

So we have a wedding we did a little while back and we are up dating and pulling out images that we haven’t shared before and using some of our new editing techniques on them and I thought I would share some of them with you. Rebecca is a school teacher and she married Nick, who is also a school teacher! Their wedding was set to a retro vintage theme. Rebecca was stunning as ever!

We wish Nick & Rebecca continued happiness and success in their marriage1

Out In The English Countryside

A couple of weekends ago Vanessa and I were invited to stay at a friends house in the country. David and Michelle were the perfect hosts! It was a mini vacation for a day and a half but so very refreshing! The Sunday morning David and I got up and went out for a walk in the morning air. It was a little damp and there was just a hint of chill in the air but it was perfect for wandering through the English Country Side.  The dog came along and was flushing pheasants everywhere. We even spotted a white pheasant and it was a real treat!

I brought along my camera (is anyone surprised by that?) and thought I would share some of what I got to see on the Sunday morning walk.

Something Different!

 

I love photographing weddings that is true, Vanessa also loves photographing weddings. But on the odd occasion we have sometime off we love to go to the zoo! Capturing images of the animals is fun and challenging in so much as you have to fight the crowds and wait for a good look or gaze casually cast your way. There is a down side to this though. It makes me sad that the animals are living out their lives in captivity and that can’t be any fun at all. The Cincinnati Zoo is one of the top breeding zoos in the United States. They breed to keep the species going and to prevent extinction. We try to support as many wild life causes as we can. We believe it is important for us, our children and the generations to come to be able to see these animals in real life, not just a photograph.
