Train track Lovin'! - Photo Swap Part#2 {Charis}

Well, its time for some more photos of the truly gorgeous Jules of Sugar and Spice Photography and her lovely husband Shane. It was such an honour to take photos of these two. Its quite hard to believe that they are parents of four children. Uber-hot parents, I say! Jules looked so great in her sixties style attire. We loved the cherry and eyelashes!
While we modelled and took photos of Jules and Shane in the morning, after a lovely lunch at the Bocabar, we ventured over to Leigh Woods. Tomorrow please tune in to see our photographs of the super cute Shella and Derek. x o&c

Briz·zle (as the locals say)
[briz-uhl]
–noun
1.
a seaport in Avon, in SW England, on the Avon River near its confluence with the Severn estuary where me and Ca had a chance to spend a day shooting with Rosie Parsons, Juliet McKee, Shell de Mar, Dominique Bader and Antonina Mamzenko. All tip top togs I think you'd agree!

We met at the Mud Docks in the heart of Bristol and split up in to pairs. Ca and I gave a little internal "Whoop, whoop!" when we were paired up with Jules from Sugar and Spice Photography and her husband Shane. I love Jules' clean, crisp and mega sharp images and am blown away by the photos she took of us here. To say we are chuffed is an understatement almost as big as saying I'm now "slightly nervous" about blogging my images. Anyway and with out further ado here are my shots of the lovely Shane and Jules at Brizzle docks (Ca's to follow).

Autumn Changes {Personal}

I love the seasons, but love them even more when they arrive and remind me how much I love them. Autumn is so magical. Its warm colours and humbling changes are so spectacular, its easy to take it all for granted. I have been challenged recently to take photos of the things I see, not just those things that come along when working. Its so easy to get caught up in the work you are asked to do that the fun and joy of capturing beautiful things gets lost in the busy-ness of doing a job. I know when I enjoy taking time to look there are so many more treasures that seem to appear.
I wonder, how often do you look up and see the changing leaves? How often do you look down and find the first burst of berries on the bushes? Im trying hard to do these things more often. We live in a wonderful world, with stunning seasons. Change can be a good thing! x C



















Wanted to leave you with this view. It may not seem much, but every day we have the pleasure of looking at it from our house. Its the Texaco Oil Refinery here in Pembrokeshire. It may at times seem a bit of a eyesore, but at night time the lights that cover the towers bring it to life. A little bit like Christmas decor. I've really learnt to love this view!
