Location, location, location

I've recently moved house and as a result I no longer have a home studio space ...fear not as I will be continuing to offer 'outdoor' photography services along with 'lifestyle' sessions held in your own home (popular for post birth families especially!) or on location at your school.

Outdoor Sessions are held outdoors during Spring / Summer and Autumn, I have a couple of secret ‘outdoor’ locations that I often use that are much more private/quiet.

In home lifestyle sessions are held in a clients own home, and obviously School sessions are on location - I can travel to most locations within East Cheshire and South Manchester, anything further afield may incur a small travel fee so please ask first.

School sessions are held at your place of work on another location if requested (eg for a school field trip on location).

Photo Editing

After your session your images are ‘culled’ (i.e. I pick the best ones from the shoot) they are then edited to give them the light, creamy airy look that Nurtured With Love is so well known for. Some sessions take longer than others to edit as there maybe a lot of background work to do like cloning blankets in where they are missing, removing creases or wet patches (yes babies sometimes pee everywhere !!) doing ‘head swaps’ where someone maybe has their eyes shut on a group family picture (usually daddy !!), or removing things like baby acne or pimples. The list of ‘edits’ is endless but you get the gist.

One thing I am very passionate about (esp as a mum to a daughter) is body altering in photoshop and I have made a promise to never alter someones body shape to ‘enhance’ an image. I am a proud supporter of the Body Image Movement and recommend ALL women take time to watch the ‘Embrace’ documentary made by the awesome Taryn Brumfitt who is traveling the world inspiring women to change the way they feel about themselves and how they think about their bodies esp after childbirth. Taryn is a mum of 3 herself and is on a mission to encourage positive body image by demanding mandatory labelling on photoshopped imagery so that we (as consumers) know if we are looking at something that is real or not.

Check it out……we should learn to grow and love everyBODY.
