Nice words..

I don't normally look at wedding forums as there are so many of them and I would never get any work done. I once spent about 4 hours reading all the interesting posts from brides planning their weddings - it was addictive. Anyway, I was on the Scottish Wedding Directory website and on their forum feed page was my name in a post! I clicked through and here is what I found. Someone had posted about finding a photographer in Glasgow/Ayrshire and one of my lovely brides has replied saying this! I am so thrilled but shocked that my name appears on the internet. After all these years its still very exciting. Thank you thank you for saying such lovely words....its the best PR anyone could ask for!

Hi!
We are using Fiona MacNeill as we loved the sentiment in what she says on her website www.fionamacneill.com and her photographs seem to capture perfectly all those little moments without everything looking too "posey" and staged. When she came to our flat and showed us her beautiful albums and let us view a slideshow from a whole wedding we were bowled over and took to her down-to-earth character immediately. I know I can be honest and direct with her about what I want and don't want - mostly because she shares my opinion on photography style and how I want to remember my day. She isn't the cheapest, but once the day is over, what else do you have? I think photographs are worth spending that little bit extra on.
Fiona really is lovely and worth a look - her photographs are beautiful.
Good luck!

I do still have some 2010 dates available and 2011 is filling up fast. If you haven't booked your photography yet, please get in touch with me as soon as possible!

The most beautiful card for your Mum...ever!!!!!

Well who would believe its the end of February already? I am in utter shock but glad to be approaching spring and all the gorgeous things that come with it...daffodils, chocolate and of course Mother's Day! I have my eye on a lovely recipe box so I hope my dear children read this post and oblige but on with the post!!!!

I have been thinking an thinking about a lovely Mother's Day offer for my loyal clients past and present and finally come up with something really nice with the help of my dear friend Emma from Twenty-Seven stationery. I wanted something physically appealing as well as just a really good offer so its lucky that Emma makes and designs to die for stationery. So we have designed a range of beautiful Mother's Day cards with a fab portrait session voucher inside!

Its £55 for the card and included in the price is a mini portrait session with me plus an elegant 6x9" desk frame with your favourite image from the session inside! Voila - what Mum wouldn't want lovely memories of March 2010? You could make it a family session, a mum and daughter session or a parent's only or whatever you fancy! I'm on hand to help you make the right decision and the session itself will be fun and informal so everyone enjoys themselves and feels comfortable!

Anyway, here are some photographs of Emma's beautiful designs...you can choose any colour of ribbon you wish. My Mum's favourite colour is green so I'm sorted but Emma has every colour of ribbon imaginable so go on...treat your Mum or yourself! Its healthier than chocolate and much more fun than over-priced set menu!!!!

To take advantage of this delicious offer just email me or call 0141 885 2229. Act fast so I have time to get your card and voucher to you! Mother's day is the 14th of March so contact me by the 7th at the latest.

Christmas card!

Well, Christmas is fast approaching and I can't remember a December that has gone as fast...I mean its the 16th for heaven's sake! I must admit I am very disorganised this year which is unusual but work has been so busy and I was away all of last week so its no wonder that I'm chasing my tail!

Anyway, I just wanted to wish you all a wonderful and happy Christmas. I hope Santa is good to you all and you manage to relax and have lots of happy times! The studio will close next Monday the 21st and reopen on the 5th of January. If you need to get in touch before then just call the studio on 0141 885 2229 as I will be picking up messages. I also ventured into the world of the iPhone recently so can pick up emails as I go...I can't promise to check every day but will do my best!

Merry Christmas and lots of love for a wonderful 2010!!

A Christmas present that someone would really want!

To celebrate Christmas and all its fabulousness, you can now give someone of a magical memory for Christmas. There must be someone you know who would love some gorgeous photographs to cherish...good news because I have mini portrait sessions available for just £50! That includes an hour's photo shoot at home or some other happy place and a 5x7 print from the session. Also included will be an online slideshow and password protected gallery so everyone can have a peek!*

If you don't have children it doesn't matter...a quirky, tasteful and fun couple's session is also a yummy gift! Men take note...will earn you far more brownie points than fur trimmed red undies!

To order your vouchers just call on 0141 885 2229 or email the above email address! Keep an eye out for other great Christmas offers later in the month!
