Lighthouse Studio

Welcome to the Lighthouse :)

Hi and welcome to the lighthouse studio Blog.  I love photographing as many different people as possible,  photography is my passion.  If you are looking for something a little different have a look around the blog and my website,  fabulous family portraits in suffolk if you have any questions please feel free to email the studio.  Have fun..

couples

 We really have had a huge surge in couple portraits over the last year,  not sure why but its all good!  So why not book in or buy a gift voucher for someone special this Christmas.  If you really want to spoil them why not go for a makeover session,  get pampered and feel soooooo special!!!

11 Nov 2009

Well just trying some mobile blogging. The work horse of the business apart from me.

time to blog

Well with all this social networking,  website updating and blogging I have realised how consuming this is on my time.  I really love all these new features but I have found myself struggling to catch up.  After chatting to a client of mine who is a regular blogger etc,  she advised me to set back a day or evening a week just for this purpose.  So from now I will have a new blog post once a week,  which will be in more depth and have more images etc.  which I feel you will all benefit from,  including me!

So if you are a regular follower I hope I can reward your patience with a more enjoyable and in depth insight into how I work,  and what benefits you :)

christmas family portraits

Well we are running out of time.....PANIC!  Well not quite that bad but if you want some lovely images for Christmas presents pleas book soon! Due to demand we have opened up Sundays for busy peeps,  location photography still proving popular,  just wrap up warm and make use of this fantastic weather.  Also if you can make weekday appointments at the studio we will only charge £20 session fee (normally £40).  

So photographed some awesome clients over the weekend all on location,  such vibrant colours.  I love this time of year,  the lighting can be just beautiful!  I keep promising to post images,  I have some free time this week so up they will go!!!

Half-term madnesss....

My word,  sorry to have been 'off the grid' as it were,  but we have had an amaaaaaaaaazing couple of weeks covering some fantastic locations for some awesome clients,  so thank you to you all.  The weather has just been fab,  offering some beautiful lighting for this time of year.  I am just preparing a load of images that we have shot over this period to share with you very soon,

Take care

Scallywags model competition closes

Well this has again been a huge success this year with just over 60 entries, a big THANK YOU to Mini Milou who have been dealing with the entries, the images are ready to be judged and will be going off to Scallywags in the next few days.  The winner will be announced shortly how exciting!!

We first run this competition in 2007,  the winner that year was Harriet Bridges.  Just out of the blue on Friday I received this lovely email from Harriets Mummy,

Hi 
 
Just thought I'd drop you a line to tell you how sucessful Harriet has been since she won her Scallywags contract back in November 07.
 
Harriet has gone on to do Fi Fi's world magazine where she was feature in 4 additions, also Harriet is on the packaging of In the Night Garden Puzzle which she was photographed along with 2 other models, but only one was chosen to go on the puzzle which was Harriet.
Also she has done Disney Princess party table wear for Toys R Us, she has done modelling for ASOS childrens clothing and next week she is off to London to do a fashion show for the re launch of Adams Clothing at London Zoo!!!
 
I would just like to thank you for the oppurtunity that you have given Harriet, as if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be doing any of this!!!
 
 
Thanks again
 
Clare Bridges

So lovely to get such positive feedback :)  I have invited Harriet back into the studio to do some follow up images so keep a look out!!

Where do the days go?

I used to blog everyday or at least every other day,  I must use my time more efficiently.  This has to be the busiest start to the month we have ever had,  the bookings start coming in because of Christmas anyway but this is a new trend.  We are photographing lots of location shoot making the most of this mild weather.  I now find myself in the studio in the morning,  customers house at lunchtime and then on the beach in the afternoon!!  This certainly makes for a more exciting day at the office.  Anyway have lots of fantastic images of some of our location work which I will post later.

thanks 

PS To book a location shoot the fee is £95,  we charge a little extra if you are more than 60 miles away.
