What is Project 365? + Ashley - 'Be Beautiful' photo shoot...

Hi people!

Our blog looks a bit lonely. We took a little break in December from the madness of the world to spend some time with our families and friends. Now that Christmas is over (boooo), we are getting back into the swing of things, preparing for the next season of weddings and to be honest we can't wait! :-)

This year we've also decided to take on the 'Project 365' and document our life in 2012. We are aware that it's going to be a challenge, especially on boring rainy days when nothing much is happening, but on the other hand it will give us chance to experiment with various photographic techniques and do what we love doing most.. take photographs. ;-) 

To see our progress visit our Facebook page! :-)

On location 'Be Beautiful' Photo shoots... for those who are not afraid to be different!

Evening everyone!

It's Monday evening and for me is one of those days when I am glued to my screen, editing photographs and designing wedding albums! :-) 

I have done a number of location shoots over the last couple of days and looking at the results, I am really wondering why is it that most of the people prefer to have their photographs taken in the studio, posing in front of a plain background rather than try to be a bit more adventures and go for an on location photo shoot!?

As a professional photographer who has worked in the industry for a few years, climbed a lot of fences (... and high trees!! Btw, I am petrified of heights!), ripped a few pairs of her favourite jeans, got soaked in the rain, been stung countless times by nettles, vicious ants and even bees... I have to say that I still prefer working on locations more than in a studio. I am not saying that studio photo shoots are not fun but photographs taken on a location are usually more exciting,unique and unusual!

I think that people looking at our work, maybe just like 'you' out there reading these lines right now... often mistakenly believe that people in our 'Be beautiful' portfolio are all professional models with years of experience and hundreds of shoots under their belt. Well, I can certainly assure you that they are not! Our clients and people who we have photographed and you can see in the pictures on our website, blog or Facebook page are ordinary people just like 'you'! 

I guess what I am trying to say is that 'you' should give it a go!  Get in touch with us and let us show you that everyone is beautiful in their own individual and special way! Working with a professional photographer who can give you advise on how to pose your body and work angles of your face to highlight your natural beauty is an unforgettable experience, as we are often told by our clients and can incredibly boost your self-confidence. I personally believe that working on a location which can be anything from your favourite park, beach, forest or even a random fence or wall somewhere on a street, or even your bath :-) can really bring your personality out by capturing something that is personal to you!

Have I persuaded you yet?!? Well if words failed maybe following collection of images will help you to make a decision. :-) Introducing you our competition winner Marie!

Fairy Tale

'Fairies are invisible and inaudible like angels.  But their magic sparkles in nature'

Today I did another photo shoot with an amazing model, whom you might remember from some of my previous photographs- Ljay. Spring is in the air and the nature is waking up from it's winter sleep (my favourite time of the year!!!), so we really wanted to go out and enjoy the day in the sunshine. 

And sunny it was but it definitely wasn't very warm. :-) Today was all about braving cold and facing our biggest fears in the name of art. :-D I had to climb the tallest tree in the world and I am absolutely petrified of heights but everything to get the shot!

And this is the photograph of me sitting on the top of the tree.  It doesn't look too bad on the picture, but trust me it felt like climbing a skyscraper. :)

Have a nice day, Elizabeth and I are off to Birmingham today to check out one beautiful wedding venue for the wedding we are photographing in couple of weeks! :) Excited! Fingers crossed we won't get lost on the way, as we always do! :)

Photoshoot with Elle J Divine

Hi everyone!

This week has been incredible but also incredibly busy! It was definitely worth it though! :) Glad I can just relax tomorrow, spend some time with my gorgeous partner and my sisters, make millions of pancakes and celebrate another successful week for K&E Photography!

Here are some photos from yesterdays photoshoot! It was fantastic experience! I remember when I first shot Ljay 2 years ago, I came home buzzing with excitement, saying to my boyfriend that I had just done the best shoot of my life, and that's exactly how I felt yesterday! ;) Ljay is a true inspiration and I am so happy that I had chance to work with her again! 

Have a nice weekend all of you! :)
