Helen live on Dubai Eye 103.8 Dubai Radio station

Hi everyone,
Not sure I have told you guys but I was invited back to talk on Dubai Eye 103.8 radio station again. And of course I never say no to an invitation like that :) This time I was not invited to talk about my photography but to talk about my country Sweden on their travel show. I was very quick with answering yes of course I can do that! Then I started to think oh dear what do I know… I have lived outside of Sweden for I think its 17 years now so I was thinking wonder if anything have changed :) I do go back home (I still call it home) to Sweden every year for at least a month so I should be fairly updated about things lol
Anyway here you can have a listen to how it all went when I was chatting about my wonderful country Sweden!

Halloween is upon us

Hi everyone,
Hope you are all well. I have meant to blog more often but it is so super hard to find the time. But don't give up on me just yet I am trying hard to do it more often. It is not that I have nothing to show you I have loads I am working very hard at the moment with so many different projects at the same time which I love so photography for me does not get boring for sure or mundane since I am photographing so many different things all the time.
Yesterday I photographed for my Make-Up Artist, Magdalena Alexandersson, she is such a super great make up artist I am so thrilled to be working with her on my photography shoots.
She did this for a Halloween themed make up contest.
What do you think? She went for a scary Prom Queen look. I loved it. The blood really looked like it was oozing out from her forehead.
So what are you up to for halloween? Any particular scary plans? Me I will be working there is a PGA golf tournament going on that weekend here in Dubai so will be a busy one for me. I take bookings for Halloween themed photography shoots if you would like to have one for your self or for your children. just let me know. Mob. 055 107 89 88
Ta ta for now.

Dubai newborn photography shoot

Last year I had the pleasure to meet this lovely family for the first time, we then did a family photography session of the three of them now last weekend I saw them again and this time I did a newborn photography session with them. They have just had a lovely little baby boy. I just love to photographs newborns they are so adorable don't you agree?

I can't wait to meet them all again in 6 months for another photography shoot to capture his developments. 

Ps. What do you guys think of my new watermark?

All the best.

Joint Alumni Iftar Dubai 2012

I had the pleasure to photograph the Joint Annual Alumni Iftar this year as well.

I enjoyed it immensely last year due to the people being so lovely. So when Jennifer called me and asked if I would mind photographing their event again this year I jumped at the chance.

It was fun to recognize some of the attendees from last year makes you feel more like you are part of the event than just there to capture it. Just like last year it was held at Al Habtoor Grand Hotel Dubai. It was a great success with 350 attendees from different business and university schools from around the world a great mix of people.

Here are some snaps from the night.

If you want to go through all the photographs from the night you can find them here. http://www.shippeyphotography.com/AlumniIftar/

Cheers,

Helen
