Working days!

This is just a wee post about the days I work so you all know when I will be responding to emails and when you might have to wait a few hours until I'm back in work mode. I would put on an out of office thingy but I do still suffer from severe Mumnesia and would just forget. Anyhoo, I work Tuesday through Thursday and Friday mornings. If you do need to contact me outwith these times, just drop me an email as I have a funcy wee Iphone and do check my emails periodically. If its really urgent then call the mobile. If you don't have the mobile let me know and I'll email it on to you.

So, that's that. Rather dull but important nonetheless. Love that word!

My lovely land

Last week I felt the need to get out of the office and fill my lungs with clean fresh Scottish air. It had been a while since I'd been further north than Loch Lomond and the weather has been so bad that many roads were closed anyway. My friend Jane and I hopped in the car and headed out. We whizzed up the side of Loch Lomond stopping to admire Ben Lomond in the distance. It looked amazing, like it was covered in bright white icing and the light was so beautiful I was glad I had packed the camera. On we went up as far as Glen Etive stopping a couple of times to take some shots of mountains and scenery that made my heart sing. I never forget how beautiful Scotland is but just how beautiful it is always takes my breath away. I took a handful of shots and wanted to share them with you...

I hope you enjoy and are inspired to go and experience this wonderful wilderness for yourself.

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.
