Back to business, ash or no ash

After a lovely Easter in England I just managed to make it back to the USA before European airspace was shut down because of the unpronouncable Icelandic volcano. So now over the next month I have the chance to firmly establish Jane Haslam Photography in the Hudson Valley. On Saturday I am covering my first Bar Mitzvah for Aaron and his mom Laurie and then early in May I have the privelige of photographing the wedding of Tracey and Rich. I spent the day yesterday scoping out the locations in Brewster and New Rochelle and just cant wait to get going.

In the meantime Sophie and Chris's portfolio has been completed and the images are now online.It was a lovely day with almost perfect weather. Holymoorside and Hassop Hall proved to be excellent venues as expected and hopefully my photography does the day justice. Sophie had her heart set on an image taken in the candle light on the stone staircase which lead up to the baqueting hall. I'm sure she's pleased with the result, I know I am.

Anyway, heres a few more from their porfolio.

All the best

The Engagement photoshoot

Gemma and Dave had a love of wide open spaces and for them it was important that their photo-shoot placed them in the landscape where they loved to walk their dogs. For Ben and Ruth the lure of a vibrant field of rapeseed proved too much temptation and even though Ben w...

Image is everything

With my background in sport I suppose it's no surprise that I am trying to make a reputation for myself in high quality sports photography. So last night saw me make the tortuous drive across country to Shrewsbury Town FC, to photograph England's Women's side as they began their preparations for Euro 2009. As well as some great action, and a 3-0 win for England, it was lovely to catch up with a few old friends from the Football Association. It seems like an age since I left to start my new life in photography. Here a few of the results some of which may surface in my forthcoming book about girls and womens football. The weekend looks like being one devoted to rugby photography as t omorrow I am in the fortunate position of being able to cover a Guinness Premiership Rugby game - Leicester Tigers v Bristol in what is being billed as Super Saturday. It's the last regular day of the season so there should be a carnival atmosphere at the Walkers Stadium. Then on Sunday I wi...

Looking back, looking forward
