Me & Claire went to Earls Court earlier this week to an exhibition.  It was a free day, and there were over 70 seminars from around 50 millionaires giving hints and tips on how to promote your business.

We learn't alot from the day, and will be moving forward, hence then new look on the website x x

Have a great friday, and enjoy your weekend, cold or not, its a weekend enjoy it xx

We are glad to say that we won a contract to photograph Serviced Offices across the UK, what the site to see photos as they are done.

Also have received press pass for Carole Nash Motorcycle Live Exhibition which starts this saturday...

Again watch this space to see photos from the show.

I don't know, its Saturday and still working....I definately ain't complaining, as busy is good.

Sorry its been a while again since my last post, but have been really busy.

I have updated lots of photos on here, so take a look at let me know what you think.

Lots of amazing offers as well, so drop me a line with what they are. x

We are happy to say we have moved to much larger studios, we were in a 600sq ft space, and have now increased to approx 1700sq ft.

We will be open for business early September, and will be having an Open Evening for all Models and Photographers and anyone else that maybe interested in coming along to have a little look around to maybe book a shoot., we will be holding our open evening from 6pm till 11pm Friday 24th September

It would be great to get feedback on people interested in coming along.

It won't cost a penny, we are just asking people to come along to have alook and see if they would be interested in doing a shoot in there, or from a photographers point of view if they would hire.

So drop us a mail or reply to post, and if you can make it, then come say HI and have a drink with us.

Thanks

Darren & Claire

I have finally taken the plunge and decided to go self employed.  Working on my 3 businesses, I am looking to promote them all.

Im working with Heart FM Radio and can listen to Competition and my Advert from 6th September for 3 weeks.

Morning all.

Well yesterday was a good day, i did a photo party for my step daughter Riava and her 4 friends in my studio.

We all had fun, there was nibbles, soft drinks, music, and of course photos...

Each girl had around 15 minutes of individual posing, which i believe they all enjoyed then we did a range of group shoots with all the girls together.

Then split into pairs and did some pair posing.

Each girl will receive 1 7x5 print foc which they will get to choose from the customer area on the website.

Whomever has the party will get a 15x12 print foc.

So what this space for photos to be published, then hopefully will get other people booking their parties with me...

I have had an amazing day i tell you.

Well this morning I woke up and dropped my kids off at their mums, and took claire to work.

I then drove to harrow where I met with Korin Nolan - Ex The Wright Stuff Presenter, and Sasha Parker - Winner of Coleen Rooney's Real Women - And now Face Of Pretty Polly.  They have launched their own website called "How To Cook In High Heels", which hopefully will soon become a TV series.

I had the privilege of photographing the girls today for their festive receipes, which I must say looked absolutely amazing.

I will be working with them over the coming year helping to promote them and their food.

Take Care xxx

I must apologise to everyone.  That is everyone that comes on my site and reads the small amount of blogs i put on here, for not updating regular.

Things have been manic, hence why i haven't been on here for a while.

Latest news, we have now got a unit, it is 743 sq ft in size, and it will have 2 large studios in to shoot from.

The 1st is 5.5m x 3.6m fully equipped with various lighting, and backgrounds.  The 2nd is 5.5m x 2.7m again fully equipped with various lighting and backgrounds.  There is also a 1.7m x 3.6m dressing room, with dressing table and mirror to allow models to get ready, along with a 5.5m sq waiting/chillout area to sit and wait for your partner/friend/family member to finish having their shoot done.  You can have coffee/tea whilst you wait, and read through a number of recent magazines.  There will also be music etc playing to keep you amused.

The unit comes with a fully manned reception and waiting area, and free secure car park.

So what are you waiting for, book your slot now, rates are cheap.  Goes live in approx 2 to 3 weeks, once interior work is complete.

Yep, busy week.

Hi all, yes i know its been ages but i've been so busy with photoshoots, but here i am.

I have been doing a number of shoots recently with models, who are represented by agencies, and some that aren't.  So i have looked and found not many if any modelling agencies in the Northants area, so here i go.

I am launching on here my modelling agency, offering models from all walks of life the opportunity to sign up with me and potentially get business from me.

Anyone interested just mail me for further details.

Back Soon x

Great Day Today.

Did a photoshoot in Peterborough at the east of england showground.

The Model was Naomi Chambers, and the Car was a Modded Japaneze Car loaned to us by a friend of Naomi's

Hopefully this could lead to more work, as believe photos of car and model came out great.  Check them out for yourself.

Sorry its been a while, but as you can guess i've been quite busy with the studio shoots.

I have alot of models booked in with me now, but would really love to get some families booked in.

Am looking to work on a special package deal, which you would get as follows:

60 minute session you would normally pay £60.00 and get 2 10x10 prints.

I am looking to offer for limited time only 60 minute session for £95.00 and you will get the following

10no. 10x8's  (If you look at some of my work, you can get several photos on each print)

2no.   10x10's (If you look at some of my work, you can get several photos on each print)

5no.   6x4's  1 Image per print.

This would in other well known photographers cost in the region of £1000 plus, so grab yourself a bargain.

Hi

Sorry its been so long, but we have moved, along with opening a studio.

Busy, busy, busy.

Business is good, loads of shoots booked.  Working with some amazing models.

Keep checking back to see photos added x x

Up early today, Focus On Imagining Exhibition at the NEC..so partner and her daughter went shopping,

I went to Birmingham to look around.

Learn't alot, and met some very good contacts.

Well worth the day out.

Right, chilling out for rest of the day, and will be putting the pictures on site over the course of the week...

Hi

Sorry I haven't updated my blog for a while, but been very business....

Today I did a bridal photo shoot, then some fashion and some glamour.

I can't believe how tired I was when I finished and got home.

Was shooting for around 5 hours, and then when I got back 5 hours cropping the pictures...

Anyway, it was a great shoot, and thanks to all the girls involved, you were all very hot.

Woke up this morning, and there was some snow, but not as much as they said there would be.

Started the day in Northampton, then spent some of the day in Milton Keynes which when I got there, the snow was so much more....

Anyway, got back to Northampton, and snow became heavier...doesn't help having a BMW with rear wheel drive..car was all over the place.

Day ended at 5.40 where I then got home, and finally launched the website, for all to see.

Please, please, please let me know what you all think.

Sunday Morning, no lay in.

Left house at 8am to drive all the way to Millwall to watch Livio play for Cobblers against Millwall

Damn its cold today...then got even colder when it started to snow.

Check out the Photos I took, they are under sporting events.

Got home around 3pm, then enjoyed the rest of the day.

Even though we could of had a very long lay in today, we decided not to.

I was up till really late last night working on my website, and hoping that will have things ready to go live by Monday.

My partner has gone shopping with her daughter, leaving me in peace to work on my website, and put the rest of my vinyls onto the Top-Tastic Car.

Anyway, very short today, as got lots to do.

Have a good day all.

Darren
