Sundial Photographic is evolvolving

Well here we go, into the wild blue yonder of blogging to keep you, my family, my friends and my customers in touch with all the developments and activities here in the wonderful digital world of Sundial Photographic.

With the business well established and the onset of a new financial year I'm excited by the new challenges that await over the next 12 months and I hope that you'll accompany me on my journey via this blog.

After 3 years of hard work to establish my reputation as a lifestyle wedding photographer I have finally decided to submit a portfolio to the SWPP (The Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers) in order to attain formal professional recognition from my peers.

I have to submit 20 images for assessment and am curently selceting then re-editing those images to meet the Society's exacting standards. I've posted 3 below, please leave a comment and tell me what you think?

Whilst I'm talking about weddings the next one is Sunday at Aston Hall with Julie and James. They are a lovely couple and I had the pleasure of working with them just a couple of weeks ago, when we all met up for a photoshoot at Aston. Can't wait, just keep your fingers crossed that the weather is kind.

Away from Weddings I have taken a number of steps to extend the range and depth of my sports portfolio. One of these is to team up with Mark Ludbrook a sports and event photographer based in Matlock. He trades as http://www.sportsshots.co.uk/ and we both felt that a partnership would not only pool our resources but also be of mutual benefit. In future weeks I'll be updating my website with new images so keep a look out for the updated gallery pages.

Another great opportunity later in April will see me at Shrewsbury Town FC for the England Women's soccer international against Norway. Not only will it will be nice to catch up with a few old friends after the game, but it will also be a fantastic opportunity to add to my portfolio.

So tomorrow it's April 1st - Happy April Fools day to you all!!!!!! - My day will be spent slaving over the computer selecting landscapes for my first ever craft fair in a couple of weeks time. An exciting but daunting prospect..... I like my photographs, but will anyone else like them enough to spend their money???? I suppose that only time will tell. I'll tell you more in my next blog and if you are in the Bakewell area over Easter weekend I'll let you know where you can find me.

So if you've made it this far, thank you for reading, I promise they will improve with time......

Love, peace and chocolate to all...take care till next time
