5 reasons a photography gift voucher is an amazing Christmas gift.

It can be challenging finding just the right gift for someone. You don’t to buy something they don’t want or will never use. But what if you could find a gift they can use at any time throughout the year? An experience that’s fun and they get images included. Giving a photography session as a gift is perfect!! Here are five reasons why.

1. They can share it with their pets, family or friends.
2. It’s a fun experience! I always make the session lighthearted and fun.
3. They can take it whenever they like through the year. Spring and Autumn are particularly beautiful.
4. They get two prints included! And can choose more from a private viewing gallery.
5. Photographs capture moments, emotions and connections. What’s more beautiful than that? The gift of memories.

I have gift vouchers on special offer for Christmas. Contact to buy yours. They really are the perfect gift 🎁

Change do you embrace it or resist it?

I usually jump in head first, feel the fear and do it anyway.

There’s one thing i changed last year and I’m so glad I did. I realised that moments are fleeting and memories are gone in an instant. I was inspired to create something new after seeing a short (VHS for those who remember) video of my mum and dad. There they were on the screen dancing, laughing, and filled with joy, just how I remember them but in full 3D. It was magical and left me feeling so happy. So I started to learn how to create film, a family film set to music and I am loving creating these, they are so special and a joy to make.

Imagine capturing all the little details of what’s happening in your family right now, forever. Personalities, moments, laughter, and joy.

Kirkgunzeon dog and puppy mini sessions

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of doing mini sessions at Kirgunzeon Canines. If you haven’t heard of them Kirgunzeon Canines is a freedom field for dogs on the way to Dalbeattie. Emma who owns and runs the field is a big animal lover and put on an event last weekend that raised £1056 for two charities Lost Dogs Dumfries and Greyhound Rescue. What an amazing achievement! Well done to everyone involved.

So when I turned up for the sessions it was so hot. In fact, it might have been the hottest day of the year. But we had some shade with lots of places to cool off and get some water. In fact, a lot of my new four-legged friends ended up in the paddling pool. To be honest i wouldn’t have minded a seat in there too.

This was my first time doing dog mini sessions and it was so lovely meeting these beautiful dogs and puppies and their human friends. I really tried to capture each little personality and the connection they have with us. It was such a fun day I got lots of doggy smiles and face licks (I’m just at the right height when I’m taking pictures) 😊
So when Emma asked me to come back later this month I jumped at the chance.
As you can see we all had a great day and I loved every minute of it.

Our next mini sessions are on the 4th of September if you would like to come along this time contact Kirgunzeon Canines to book your slot there are still a couple of slots left.

Hope to see you then

Jayne

A question I am often asked is, what are the essential brand photography shots?

My answer is this. They are different for each business and person I work with. Doing an in-depth analysis of your business brand is part of the brand photography service. Someone with a similar business would have a very different suite of images, so it’s not a problem if I have already worked with someone in your area of expertise. 

Once we have gone through the brand questionnaire we develop a session around your specific brand identity that will help you tell your unique story and attract your ideal customers.  

It’s not just about portraits although they are very important, you are your brand and you need to be seen. Don’t worry if you don’t like having your picture taken, I’m an expert at putting people at ease. I like to make the session enjoyable for us both. 

So the main shots we will cover are: 
1. Who you are
2. What you do
3. How you do it

This combination helps with storytelling. 

Images are one of the most influential tools we have to promote our business. Gooseberrypink has a really strong brand and it shines through in the images.

Owner Laura had these kind words to say about working with me. 

“Jayne has been a joy to work with on my brand photoshoots. Her warmth and professionalism quickly put me at ease, and she achieved the impossible by providing me with pictures of myself that I was happy to use. When doing product photoshoots Jayne always takes the time to understand what it is that I want so I am always confident, on the day, that I am getting the shots I need for my business. The images created by Jayne have been integral to getting my branding right. I cannot recommend Jayne highly enough.”

Can you imagine how your suite of images would look? 
What story will they tell?
