Steph :: Take 2



Last week we also had a return visit from Steph who was in the studio to help complete our portfolio of marketing images. We played with the lights and had a thousand or so costume changes until we got some very special photographs. Many thanks to Steph for being ever so patient and to Colleen for the make-up.

Family Shoot :: The Morris Family



We had Rob, Fiona, Lindsey and Kirsty in the studio last week and had a great time, despite one broken leg! I hasten to add the leg was broken while riding a scooter and nothing to do with us. We blew bubbles, squeezed everyone on one chair and got some great photographs. Here's a couple of shots of the wonderful Morris family...

Cute? :: You should see the havoc they cause



From a recent wedding shoot....More later!

Another Shoot With :: Hannah




Earlier this week we had a great studio shoot with Hannah and got some great photographs. A couple are shown above. Hannah is now off to University - so from both Colleen and myself, "Good Luck Hannah" and thanks for all your help and patience. Hannah will be featuring on our marketing material together with Tracy and Steph, so if you're in the Borders area, keep an eye out from the first couple of weeks in October....80eight is about to launch.

Note: The coat Hannah is wearing in the first shot, is Colleen's and the artwork was created by Jamie Avis. More on him later - but he's a very talented young man.

The Natural Studio :: Behind the Scenes


And this is what it looks like behind the scenes....It's probably also best to say that should anyone notice any mysterious flashes of light in and around the Duns area, don't be concerned - it's only us wondering what a hay bale looks like when lit up.

The Natural Studio :: Outside


The studio is now complete and taking orders! It's very exciting, interesting and above all fun for all concerned. We've had a couple of great shoots recently which we'll be showing here on the blog very soon, but in the meantime, what happens when you take the studio outside? Well, it stopped raining just long enough for us to find out, so armed with lights, batteries and Colleen in a blue dress we set to work and ended up with this.

I love this shot. If you love it, then we'd love you to give us a call.

Latest Shoot :: Tracy / Studio


The studio is now virtually finished and there is only the stuff which I've been trying to ignore left to do - like painting....We're forging ahead with beefing up our marketing portfolio and we had our first studio shoot with Tracy a few days ago. The shoot was good fun and given the weather has been dreadful recently, much more preferable than dodging the rain. Here's one of the photographs which will be soon be seen on large posters in and around the Duns area and the Borders very soon.
