The Nursery - Tim Coulson's Workshop

Hello, I'm just popping in quickly to tell you about a very special workshop that's taking place in London on June 19th. Many of you, I am sure, will be familiar with Tim Coulson's wonderful photography, so if you are fairly local to London, or even in the UK (it's definitely worth traveling to) do consider taking part as I believe there are a few places left. I know a couple of you bloggy people have already enrolled, and I am hoping to get there myself.....

Anyway, so what's it all about? Here's what Tim has to say  - - -

"Teaching has become a big part of what I do. Last year I ran twelve workshops and I'm pretty sure that I learnt more than the beautiful people who came to learn from me. I love these workshops. I have faith in them and their ability to help you become a better photographer."

Click here to book and see below for all the details.

The Nursery is a single day photography workshop that finds and fosters the creative photographer within all of us. The workshop is tailored for amateur and beginner photographers and focuses on:
1. Emotional shooting: learning how to connect with your subject.
2. Technical shooting: understanding the principles of creating your own exposure through shooting on manual.
3. Live shoot: using your new skill set and a chance to shoot one on one with me.
4. Workflow: learning what to do with your images once you get home (culling, editing, exporting for web/print, archiving).
You'll need a DSLR to attend. The workshop runs for one day, from 10am - 4:30pm and is being offered on either a Friday or Saturday. The London workshop will be run on a Wednesday. Workshops are limited to twelve attendees.

Sounds amazing I think!

So that's all for now - I am in the process of moving house again. We're going back to Devon, where we have a new studio for Seventy Tree and my husband will be coming on board to work with me too - hoorah! But first, we're spending a much needed week in Sweden (Yay!).

Hope you're all well and I'll see you soon (more often I hope too as I'll have more time for blogging now Seventy Tree is expanding!)

Lately.......

Hello friendlies. It's been a while - we've been busy. I've been working. Alot.

It has been constantly cold.

Bertie has a new cheesy smile face.

We spent Easter weekend in Norfolk, which was lovely (that's the view from the grubby steam train window you see there).

Dan has been wearing his nice yellow jumper.

My trays are now in my shop.
I've booked us a holiday to Sweden (the island of Tjorn) and I can't wait!

We're making more life changing (ish - not that exciting!) plans.

Oh, and speaking of life - I'm expecting a baby in case you didn't already know from Instagram/Facebook. Due in September, hooray!

At The Chapel

Hello folks, hope you're all keeping better than I am! Still not so tip-top over here, extremely busy work-wise and feeling guilty for not being able to keep up with the Project 52 portrait series (hmph) On a jollier note........

Here are a few pictures from a very special 24 hours the husband and I spent together a couple of weeks back. For Christmas, my present to Dan was a night away with dinner at a beautiful converted chapel in Bruton, Somerset, called At The Chapel. I really cannot recommend it highly enough. The room was gorgeous; huge bed with lots of puffy pillows - oh so comfortable and enormous windows with views over the village rooftops, the bathroom; so luxurious, the food; delicious! Everything was perfect. They even delivered freshly-baked-in-the-wood-oven croissants to our door in the morning. 

It was the first night we'd spent alone in over three years (however, I still barely slept a wink without my Bertie - him kicking and head buttng me all night must be more welcome than I thought :-/ !). This aside, it still felt very relaxing and it was so nice to be on our own together for a change!

If you get a chance to go there - you must!

A portrait of my children, once a week, every week in 2013.

Hello - unfortunately I have fallen behind, so these pictures will have to be for two weeks as I have barely had time to pick up a camera and even see their precious faces. I am so overworked right now - and sick! But anyway - - 

Bertie - Still sleeps next to me every single night and has never in his three years slept through the night.

Maisie - Would sleep all day if she could (so there’s hope for Bertie!).

Playing along with Jodi’s 52 project.

p.s. Thank you all so much for such an amazing response to my new products!

Coming Soon! At Formland, Denmark Now!

Hello - I wanted to share just a few of my new products in my up and coming home wares range. These will be out in March, but Walnut Street (my lovely agent) are exhibiting these now at Formland ‘UP’ in Herning, Denmark. Go and see if you can - a wonderful response so far, so I hope you like them too! :)
