Little Miss L - 9 months

This little girl was ready and waiting for me with lots of happy smiles. It was my third shoot that weekend and fortunately there was lots of space for my studio gear. We had lots of fun playing with all my christmas props - especially the beads! I even stayed a little bit longer when our model got a little worn out to give a little bit of advice about DSLR's.

Little miss H - 4 months

After getting myself and all my equipment up the 4 flights of stairs, I was a little out of breath. It was all worth it though, there was even time for this little supermodel to take a nap in between shooting. It's a tough life :)

Twins and a toddler!

What can I say, twins and a toddler! This family gave me two firsts - my first twins and my first family with three children. Thank you Family K!

This lucky big sister has both a brother and a sister to play with as she gets older and I do think they will have lots of fun. Already at 4 months these twins have huge personalities and just loved rolling over onto each other and giggling. I certainly had fun playing with them throughout our session. :)

Here come the boys...

Another returning client; two very playful and energetic boys. Last time I don't think we did actually manage to get a piccie of these two both looking at the camera and smiling. This time was a little more successful now the youngest is a bit older. They are just too adorable.

It was also the first time I'd taken my new lighting gear to a clients house too. Verdict: It went well. In fact too well. At one point I ended up in front of the camera and the boys were busy taking pictures of me!

Looking forward to taking pictures of little boy number three when he arrives in a few months.

BCT Christmas Card shoots - Huge Success!

Just a great big huge thank you to everyone that booked and even to the one family that canceled (it was nice to finish up a little earlier on the last day, but sorry you didn't get your pictures!).

I must say that I was very nervous before the first shoot started
and I had spent the previous week with my head in Christmas Card clouds and thinking about very little else. I also think it is the most amount of time I've worked in 2 consecutive days since going on maternity leave. It was well worth it though and I hope you all thought so too.

I've purposely not posted the finished cards and only one image from most shoots so the actual christmas cards remain a surprise. There is an example of a finished card at the bottom though.

Enjoy the festive season everyone! xx

Black Background Christmas

Just a little update. Firstly - there is now a .pdf version of my Packages available after I found out that it is not possible to print from thew website. It is at the bottom of the Packages page and also here.

I also now have a black gift box, so here are some images featuring Maia, some fake snow, silver fur cones and a snowman.

Looking forward to the weekend.

Here are my free slots:

Saturday 15th November:
FULLY BOOKED!


Sunday 16th November:
FULLY BOOKED!


I will keep editing this so that it is always up to date.
If there are any canceled slots I will re-post them here.

More Christmas Card Information

Good News! Sunday morning has been very popular and is all booked up, there are only a couple more slots available in the afternoon. Due to the interest in Sunday and nearly none on Monday, I am making the shoots Saturday and Sunday instead. Those with appointments booked on Monday will still have your session, just at my house instead.

I've had a few people ask me about more details as they weren't clear, so here they are:

The cost to BCT members is 150CHF, payable on the day of the shoot. For this, you get my creative expertise, use of my props and as per the Occasion Package 3 digital negatives, one of which will be the one you would use on your card. This digital negative may be a compilation of a number of other images. You also get to choose 2 other images that you like to keep in digital format also. All 3 images will be printed for you.
I will have my computer at the shoots and we will look at the images taken together during your allocated time slot and you will choose the ones you like. I will have specific templates ready for you to see what the finished card might look like. I will also have examples of cards I have printed from ifolor.ch and ones that I sent out last year to show you what you can do with your images.

Your package will be with you within a week, in good time for you to do with the images as you wish.

If you still want to book a session, please contact me soon.

Christmas Card Shoots

For those of you interested, I will be posting more details about the BCT Christmas Card shoots here very soon. Due to some emergency personal circumstances, I've had to postpone the days until the week after. So new dates are:

Sunday 16th November
Monday 17th November

Briefly though, I can tell you that there are 8 slots per day, starting at 9am. Each slot lasts 45 mins, but starts on the hour. I will be having an hour for lunch and the last slot will be at 5pm.

I will have a number of props available, including 2 different sized christmas trees, 2 large gift boxes (for children to jump out of), outfits for 3/6/9/12 months, hats, tinsel, festive characters (santa/reindeer/snowman) fake snow and more. If you have a special outfit that you would like your child(ren) to wear then please bring these along. If not, jeans with a red or white top look good.

I will have a small gift and treat for each child, which can be used as a reward (or bribe!).

During the session we will look at the images on a computer together and you will choose which ones you would like to be used on the card - you can use 4 together as seen below. You will receive your final image digitally and also as a print. You can choose in addition 2 more images to keep in digital format as part of the package.

I am also able to offer getting the cards produced for 25CHF per 10.

Location of temporary studio: Rennweg 73, 4052 Basel
