Dubai Beach Family Photography Session

I met this lovely Family one very early morning in Dubai. The weather is now starting to become comfortable for beach photography shoots. I must give lots of credit to these teens parents because even though it was so early they were so well behaved I mean they actually did what I asked. I told them to run at 07.00 in the morning on the beach and they did, I told them to jump and they did brilliant I wish all my family photography shoots were this easy we were done in no time du to the efficiency. I loved it!

If you want your Family Photography Session done before Christmas now is the time to book it weekends are filling up very fast as we speak.

Babatude Winter Collection Photography Shoot.

I had a total blast while photographing the winter collection from Babatude Children's Wear with a Dash of Attitude!
As you might remember we first had parents send us photographs of their children for the model shoot. We had overwhelming response and thank you all so much for participating. As with everything only a few can be selected, let me introduce you to Boudi and Ashley.

Big thank you to the lovely models and their parents for being so great during our photo shoot!

Could not have done it without you guys!! xxx 

For those of you that don't know about Babatude I can vouch for how lovely their clothes are the fabrics they use are absolutely amazing! The baby sleeping bag above is made of soft cashmere it is so soft I can't even describe it to make is justice. 

Their philosophy and concept is to combine a fusion of style, vibrancy and luxury all bundled up with a splash of attitude. They have given mass produced stiff and scratchy clothes the elbow, in favour of limited collections in classically cool styles using deliciously soft cashmere and merino wool. Their commitment to quality and luxury speaks for itself. All their clothing items are individually handmade with great care, which makes them an ideal purchase or a precious gift that can be treasured for years to come.    

Babatude products can be purchased online at www.babatude.com (couriered delivery within the UAE through online purchases is only AED 18) or call Joanna on 050 502 7137 to view the range or for more information.

Over and out for now!

Dubai Teenage Photography Shoot

I had the pleasure to meet 8 young girls for a fun filled photography shoot. The birthday girl had gotten a photography shoot with her friends as a present from her parents. What better present is there??? Of course I am biased since I am the photographer LOL.
The girls had really planned the shoot nicely with coordinated clothes and everything: At that age (13) they are up to almost any suggestions you have which I thought was great fun as well as they were bubbling with ideas themselves of what we should do. It was hot but the girls were great I was sweating a lot but they hardly broke a sweat they are definitively used to cope with the heat better than I was. The mum was saying that they have PE outdoors at school so I guess they have to get used to the heat in order to cope with that.

Dubai Madinat Jumeirah Engagement shoot

I had a wonderful time at the Madinat Jumeirah last week photographing a couple that are getting married later on in the year and they wanted photographs that they could use for their wedding invitations and for the save the date cards. So with that in mind we ventured around Madiant Souk area. It was a very sandy and windy day we had picked which in a way was not too bad because that meant there would be no direct sunlight which is a good thing but it also made everything look very hazy and gave very dull colours. But thankfully we have photoshop to help us out on those days. :-)

Dubai Marina Maternity Photo Shoot

I had the pleasure of meeting this lovely couple in their home in the Marina area of Dubai it is one of the newer areas, when I arrived to Dubai 2003 there were absolutely nothing where their lovely apartment is located. Quite amazing how fast a whole little city within the city of Dubai have been created.

Tom is a great skiier the reason I know this is that we met at the Annual Scandinavian Ski Challenge that I photographed in February earlier this year,  http://shippeyphotography.blogspot.com/2011/02/coolest-job-ever.html
