Woodend Art Fair – Black and White Portraits

by Leave a Comment

Woodend Art Fair – Black and White portraits taken during the Mossley Art Fair. 

Over the weekend my studio was open to welcome the public to view my work and experience the ambience. I asked as many of my visitors to pose for a ‘character portrait’ which were edited to resemble images similar to the old fashioned polaroid. I’d say about 3/4 obliged and a few just ran away! It’s understandable.

If you sat for a portrait, and wish to copy an image to use for a profile photo, please do, but these are not suitable for printing. Please either purchase through the site or contact me directly. Thanks 🙂 

 

 

 

Tutu Photoshoots

by Leave a Comment

Little girls in beautiful tutu dresses, dancing with teddies and galloping on rocking horses always bring a smile to their faces, and an opportunity for lovely memories to be captured. 

These dresses are loaned to me by Dawn Houston, a creative dress-maker who stitches wonderful powder puffs of girliness for the little ones, and big ones, to wear. She sells them from The Small Business Emporium in Denton. 

Here’s a few from a recent tutu photo session:

A Fresh New Look for Jude Gidney Photography

Thanks to my wonderful brother Richard Grinter, my website and branding has a new look. It’s taken the two of us months to design and perfect the idea, but I’m over the moon with the new look and how it can be used. Please check out the rest of my website to see how it looks.

Maternity Photography or Bump-to-Baby Photography.

I love to meet mums before they give birth, in order for them to get to know how I work and that their newborn baby during their newborn baby photography session will be in safe hands. It’s a quiet and calm time when mum can feel pampered and looking amazing. 
If you’d like to have a chat about what it involves or book a session for yourself please just message me or ring on 07759 599134. 

Don’t be another one that regrets she didn’t do it.

Beautiful Babies

Baby photographer in oldham

Beautiful babies, changing so quickly in the first year of their lives. From Newborns, sleepy, curly little characters to sitters and then up onto their feet. They’re all wonderful opportunities for capturing moments in their developing worlds. 

Ten things to capture yourselves:

  1. first smile
  2. baby stretches
  3. yawns
  4. little character traits that you may notice like wriggling their noses, or fanning out their hands
  5. first roll
  6. sitting progress from needing support to sitting alone
  7. first laugh
  8. playing with a favourite toy
  9. mode of transport be it crawling, shuffling or rolling
  10. first steps and expressions

These are all little moments that can easily be captured on a smartphone or camera. They may seem cute at the time but they’ll be wonderful to look back upon years later. Remember to back up your images or even get them printed as simple prints put into an album or in a printed book. Images on a computer or phone are easily lost!!

Frilly Dresses and Photo Studios

by Leave a Comment

I’ve recently had the pleasure of meeting little Piper when her mum brought her to my photostudio.

Let me introduce her to you: She was a two year old bubbly little lady, with a bounce of blonde hair and a wonderful smile to go with it.
Now usually I think twice about having a terrible two year old in the studio as the little maturing toddlers are well known to be brewing an awareness and understanding that what ‘they’ want ‘me’ to do, isn’t great fun but is much more amusing to do the opposite. Luckily with Piper we hit on a good note and got her very engrossed in dressing up in frilly dresses and playing with the very interesting toys I have in the studio.

She loved it, and experience and quick thinking allowed me to get a great range of images within the 20mins we managed to keep her attention for.

Then the strop happened – and everything ground to a halt. It made for one final image that is one of my favourites in the set – ‘Miss Diva’.

Here’s a few of the images from the session. The tutu dress was kindly loaned by Dawn Houston of The Small Business Emporium, Denton.  The other clothes also available from the Truly Piper range also at The Emporium. A big thankyou also to Piper’s Mum Lis for her assistance in the studio. 

If you’d like to enquire about your own photosession for your little lady or gent please contact me here.
