Event Photography - Covering NorPIP's Consortia Meeting

My photographic journey continues.  I was asked by the CEO of NorPIP, a children's charity based in Northampton to provide photographic coverage of their first Consortia meeting.   Whilst I have covered events and orivided pop up studio services  I've never really covered a meeting as such.  it was an interesting experience,   I felt a bit like a ninja skulking around the room taking pictures but trying to be as unobrustive as possible,  not entirely sure I managed it,  but I did manage to get some great photographs and captured a real flavour of the event.

NorPIP is  a charity that provides psychotherapy to parents struggling to bond with their babies, NorPip deal with families from during pregnancy to 2 years of age with the belief that if you can deal with psychological issues surrounding parenting and homelife as early as possible in a child's life that you can prevent a lot of difficulties in later childhood, saving families a great deal of suffering.

A worthy charity indeed.

Let's Talk About Boudoir

I get asked a lot  why I like boudoir photography so much.  It's quite a complicated question really..  I guess being  woman myself I understand just how negative I can be about my personal appearance.  Women are not good at "bigging ourselves up"  we tend to find a flaw in ourselves and that's what we focus on whether it's a line on our faces that we think is a trench when in reality it's a tiny fine laugh line!  

The truth is we are never as awful as we think we are, that spot on your chin is not a volcano.  your bum really isn't the bus sized monstrosity you think it is. 

To me every woman has a unique beauty and my job as a photographer is to find that, enhance it through my work and capture it through my lens.

Boudoir photography is a very personal experience for the person having their photo taken, there is a realtionship that builds between myself and my subject, a bond, a trust that is very special.   Often I see ladies walk in who are very hard on themselves and very shy.  The biggest buzz I get is when they blossom during our session and walk out at the end of the shoot with their heads held high, a sassy sashay in their hips and a big smile on the faces.  And that's before they have even seen the images we have created.

Boudoir is a liberating, self affirming exciting experience and most of all it's fun,  it's two hours of giggling and silliness that leaves a woman feeling good about herself, feeling sexy and exciting again, something that we all sort of lose along the way, with our busy daily lives.

So book your boudoir session with me and rediscover your inner goddess
