What a great way to start 2011, when a couple collected their wedding photos last night and very happy with the results – thank you Lynn & Derrick.
A new year reminder that you can also find/follow me on twitter @PennyMPhotos and LinkedIn.
I love working with kids, who quite naturally will happily display their characters. These two were great to capture earlier this year. Click here for the full set.
Will be part of the 5Works group giving our first presentation on Fri 26th at The Angel Hotel, Bury St Edmunds.

It gives us a nice feeling when we see a good picture of ourselves – but it’s quite disheartening when looking at photos you’re in, only to be disappointed with the results.
We’ve all heard people say, “I’m not very photogenic”, or, “I don’t like my photo being taken, as I take such an awful picture”.
We take it on board as if it’s our fault!
Who/what is a bad photograph really down to?
No wonder, if we are among those who feel this way, when we find ourselves lens side of the camera, it’s difficult to relax, we become self conscious and don’t enjoy the experience.
It’s not about looking like our favourite superstar, or fixing every reason, we might not like pictures of ourselves. But don’t underestimate what a good photographer should be able to achieve for you.
A pro photographer will not only know their equipment thoroughly and what settings are needed – works with the lighting they have (whatever source it may be) to achieve the results – but will also be able to respond to their subject, encouraging them relax, be themselves and enjoy being photographed. Those great shots that the subject will love and want to have, can then be captured.
If I could package and give to my subjects, an essence I truly see in each of them, whether we spend 15 minutes or several hours working together, perhaps they wouldn’t be among those who consider themselves ‘not photogenic’.

I’d like to congratulate and wish Christine and Brigette every success with the launch of their new business Elizabeth Valda Estates, based in the heart of Suffolk.
If you want to try an estate agent with a difference, these girls have a fresh new outlook and vision on how it should be done!
26th September 2010 at Nowton park just outside Bury, see’s the first of what is hoping to be an annual event, raising funds to help prevent premature birth.
It will be a great day for families and children, not only raising money, but having heaps of fun too. As well as walking, there are picnic and play areas, balloon race, Paddington Bear and face painting, just some of the activities at this beautiful park. Please click on the link if you’re interested in attending for all the information.
