I’ve been looking forward to this date for a while…I have a few very good friends, which I have made through my photography, and we decided to go down to Greenwich for the day to get together and take some photos of the kids.
We had 6 kids with us in total so we spent most of the day losing one, stopping another one from going down some steps they werent meant to, to eventually trying to stop them all jump in the water which was cascading over the barriers from the Thames – it turns out it was high tide :-). These shots were taken in and around Greenwich University http://www2.gre.ac.uk/ which is a collection of stunning buildings right on the water. After a couple of hours chasing the kids around we headed to a nearby pub for drinks and crisps and then headed home… Such a great day and one to be repeated soon! Some of my favourite photos are shown below. Hem

I am very excited to announce I have become a Qualified member of The Guild of Professional Photographers (www.photoguild.co.uk) and that I now have letters after my name!! – Nina Mace QGPP I like the sound of that 🙂
Qualification involves rigorous assessment of a portfolio of 20 images and is only awarded to photographers who can evidence that they deliver high quality images, products, and customer service. I am now one of only around 85 people in the country to hold this title.
I also was over the moon to find out that I had won 6 bronze bars, and a very rare Silver bar, in Februarys Image of the month competition.
Since joining the Guild earlier this year I have met a wonderful group of new photographers who range from relative newbies to professionals who have been in the industry from over 20 years and have carved out a real name for themselves. I’m hoping to learn even more over the coming years and am very excitied to be going on my first internatinal photography trip to Paris at the end of September. We will be working with models and make up artists and photographing in the louve and around the eiffel tower…roll on September!!

And this is my winning Silver Bar Photo- thanks to Kathy for having such gorgeous children!!
I’ve always been interested in integrating graphics and images – alongside my photography I also design graphical family frames. Some images, especially baby images, work really well with graphics and here are some of my favourite exmaples below..
This week I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah and her family who work at a company I used to work at many moons ago :-). The have a baby girl and she was at that great age where she could push up onto her tummy and was very interactive. She didn’t cry at all and towards the end of the session we went to put her to sleep but the minute I went into her room and she heard the click of my camera she woke straight up and gave me loads of smiles – I couldn’t have asked for more 🙂

This week I had the pleasure of photographing a family in Reading with a 1 year old girl and a 3 year old boy. There were lots of really interesting pockets of light around the house and the kids were so good and I was really pleased with the mixture of potraits and lifestyle images that we managed to achieve. I often like the shots where the kids are just playing and being themselves the most. Some of my favourite images are shown below. Fihoto ssion, Hemel Hempstead photogra
