Baby Photography Cherubs Package

Friday, May 24th, 2013

Baby Photography

Bringing a baby into the world is such a special time in your lives. To capture those magic moments as they grow is a beautiful thing, from holding their head up and sitting all by themselves, right through to crawling and taking their first few steps! Our baby photography will capture this for you.

We know how important it is to hold on to those memories and how precious time is. Which is why at Pauls studio we offer a baby photography package which is completely free! Our Cherubs Club entitles you to visit us 3 times during your baby’s first year, at our air conditioned and modern studio where we will capture beautifully natural photographs of your baby as they grow. At the end of your third session you’ll be presented with a beautiful triple folio album, compliments of Pauls Studio.

Your Cherubs Club experience begins in your baby’s first few months, you’ll then return for your second photoshoot when your baby begins to sit up unaided. Your final photoshoot takes place when your baby takes those wonderful first steps. As your baby grows and develops we’ll photograph the changes they’re making for you to treasure forever. Each session lasts up to an hour in which time we will photograph your baby and anyone else you want to bring along. Family is more than welcome to join in the photoshoot or just sit in and watch; it may also make your baby feel more relaxed if they are surrounded by familiar faces.

After each of your baby photography sessions you’ll be invited back to view your photographs in our state of the art viewing room. Sit back and relax whilst you watch a slideshow of your baby’s photographs. At each viewing you’ll choose your favourite photograph to go in your triple folio album. You’ll receive your album after your third viewing session. Of course you are welcome to purchase any other photographs you wish from your session. We offer a range of different products – mounted prints, bespoke frames, acrylics and high resolution DVD’s – to fit any home and budget.

The style of baby photography we offer consists of a mixture of both natural and more creative styles. Our studio is set up with a range of coloured backgrounds & props, such as suitcases, colourful hats and chairs. In each photo session we use a selection of backgrounds and props in order to create the best variety of photographs for you to choose from. It’s important to us that your baby feels happy and content so we also use toys and personal items to provide a fun and relaxed environment.

Paul beats a hat trick at PTO in Tunisia !

Friday, March 23rd, 2012

Just back from a wonderful weeks training in Tunisia with PTO (Photography Traing Overseas) and am pleased to announce I had 4 of my images in the final selection of the print competition. What an honour !

I am a great believer in the continuation of training both for myself and all members of the team at the studio, not only does it keep you fresh but is a great opportunity to brush up on old techniques and learn new ones. On my return from PTO we had the wonderful portrait photographer Saraya Cortaville visit the studio and teach us all some wonderful new techniques with lighting and posing,  the images below are a few from that training session. We have some wonderful promotions and special offers coming up in the next few weeks so please watch this space for news of those.

I am really pleased to announce that we had huge success at the annul Masters Photographers Association award night. This is a very prestigious event which professional photographers from the London and Essex area submit there best images for a critique and to hopefully win a award.

This year It was judged by Ray Lowe a superb photographer  and colour character who didn’t mix his words when it came to the critic!

We are very excited to announce that we did extremly well, in fact our best ever year.

Stacy has achieved her Licentiate Qualification with the MPA in Wedding Photography

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

I’m  pleased to announce that Stacy My studio Manageress  has today Achieved her Licentiate with the MPA (Master photographers Association)

 The MPA website states that ” Applicants must show competence in their chosen field of photography, show a thorough understanding of camera techniques, lighting and composition and ability to create merchantable quality photography”.

For Stacy to achieve Licentiate status she had to show ten prints from one wedding plus an additional ten prints showing a variety of commissioned wedding work. This was then Assessed by 5 of the very top photographers in the Uk.

I feel that if you are booking a wedding photographer, Its very important to check that they are qualified with either the MPA ( Master Photographers Association) or BIPP ( British Institute Of Professional photographers) If a photographer is a qualified member it does guarantee that their work has been assessed,  a full time professional and Insured.
