November Flowers Update

in

I am really pleased with this months flower gallery, the Brambles Florist staff came up with an even greater selection of flowers this month. A dried thorn plant that photographed wonderfully and a deep red gerbera. Now I know I have done gerberas before on many occasions but this was a double gerbera and a beautiful deep red. Amy placed it against a deep green background and it worked out with the opposite colour theory. Have a look at this months selection and see. So thanks as always to Chris at Flowers To Yours and his staff at the Brambles Florist for their help. Not forgetting a mention to Amy for all of her assistance.

See you all next month for a festive season offering. X

March Flower Updates

in

There is a very pinkish feel to the flower pictures this month. I did not notice it at the time I went to Brambles Florist to get them, and I am certainly not complaining … It just makes a bit of a theme for this months images. It was the Thursday before Mothers Day that I dropped in to make a selection, so the shop was crazily busy that day. Still thanks to Nina and Wendy at the shop for helping me and of course Chris who was out delivering. Check out the two websites that accompany this amazing florist for all your flower needs. Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours – worth a look.

Love and kisses also to Amy for her help.

That's it for this month, see you all at the end of April

Penultimate flower show of the year with another great palette of colour from our friends at the Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours. Its not full on Christmas feel to it, but the red berries are seasonal with the Alternative version in purple my favourite of the shoot. Thanks then to Chris and Wendy at Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours for all their help. With a special mention to my wife, Amy for her assistance. See you all next month

October Flowers Update

in

Another great month for flowers, provided by Chris and Wendy at Flowers To Yours and Brambles Florist. Its that time of the year for gladioli flowers, so I had a couple to see which one came out the best. They can be awkward to capture sometimes because of their size, but if you concentrate on one flower over and above a series of flowers it can look good.

So thanks then to Chris and Wendy for their much needed help and support along with a shout out to Amy for her input on the day.

September Flower Updates

in

Due to the two fashion shoots I had this month, I had to photograph the flowers a good week before I normally would have. Thankfully Chris at Flowers To Yours was very understanding and allowed me to have a few of his finest a couple of weeks ago. The emphasis this month is more on shape and form rather than straight forward flowers. So slightly different, but still worth a look. Thanks then to Chris and Wendy at Flowers To Yours and Brambles Florist for their brilliant help. And a thank you also to Amy for assisting me photograph them.

August Flower Updates

Its the August flower updates time, with a great collection provided by my friends Chris and Wendy at Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours. So a big warm thanks to them. Look out for the alternative image of a single clematis petal in purple that is a favourite of mine. And talking of purple I have thrown in a couple of extra pictures of Lavender taken around the corner from my house. Just a little extra so to speak. Thanks also to Amy for here help and assistance.

July Flower Updates

Now last but by no means least I am proud to present this months flowers taken in our home studio with the help of Chris and Wendy and Flowers To Yours and Brambles Florist. Amy and I took the pictures last Saturday when it was not so hot outside and the light was perfect. I still managed to sweat like a pig, before having a hair cut and bath to follow. But the end results speak for themselves and unlike the above images, these are fresh off the camera. So a huge thank you to Chris and Wendy at Flowers To Yours and Brambles Florist and to Amy.

That is about it for this month. I hope you enjoyed this months blog and be sure to come back next month for more. X

We had a really good handful of flowers to photograph this month from our friends in Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours. Not that we don't always, but this month we were lucky to get a 'Love in the mist' flower as well as a monsterously huge pink peony flower.

So a huge shout out and thanks to Chris at Flowers To Yours and Wendy and Nina at Brambles Florist for all their help. Thank you also to Amy for her valuable help and input.

May Flower Updates and a few extras

in

As the year draws closer to Summer, the flowers getting more lovely with each month. This month being no exception to that rule. Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours have provided me with a great choice to shoot, my only problem was that when I got half way through I realised I had not changed what is called the 'Aspect Ratio' on the images. By which time it was too late so this month every image is the same size. Still thanks to Chris at Flowers To Yours and Wendy and Nina at Brambles Florist for the lovely choice. Thank you also to Amy for her help and input.

Check out their web sites at the highlights above, you will not be disappointed. That is it for this month, so please do come back in May.
