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.

Alumni Iftar evening at Habtoor Grand Hotel Dubai

Last weekend I photographed an iftar event at the Habtoor Grand Hotel in Dubai. What a large hotel with even larger grounds I have in the past only been there for dinner in the main building so have not had the opportunity to walk the grounds. Well I didn't this time either due to that it was very hot and humid even though it being an evening event. I was very glad that they had golf carts driving people around so that I did not have to walk all the way down to the beach with my tripod and all my cameras, I always bring two cameras for a photography job, for one thing I don't need to swap lenses I just swap camera and also incase  something would go wrong with one camera I always have the back up one to finish the job with. Just to be on the safe side. :-)
It was a fun gathering of people at the Alumni iftar event. Most people worked in finance, what they all had in common was that they had all Graduated from a University. There were some particular ones that were invited but can't remember them all right now so wont mention any of them so that no one will feel left out.

The photographs that I took that evening can be found through this link.

We are still in the midst of a very hot and humid Ramadan here in Dubai. But it is never too early to start thinking of gifts to your loved ones that might not live next door to you. Since us expats need to consider delivery times etc.
