Getting it right

So it's no real secret that I fell into Hannah Hall Photography last year, somewhat by accident. The truth is now that I'm here, I wouldn't have it any other way and I'm so excited about the future... But I've definitely gone the backwards way about finding my feet and getting business ready.

Recently I've been focusing on finding my style on paper; establishing a colour scheme and some branding and starting to create stationary that matches. I love my mini business cards, but my current design uses too many colours, so I'm awaiting delivery of a new design.

Taking inspiration from my favourite recycled wool picnic blanket that you might have seen in some of my photographs, I've been working closely with Harriet at Kissing Otters to create something beautiful... Next to overhaul the blog! 

It's all about purples, fawns and greys... I'd love to know what you think! And if you're looking for a wedding photographer, please get in touch so I can send you your very own copy! 

Dates with my Daughters: January

As 2014 drew to a close, I sat and I pondered a photography project for the new year. I didn't want to do a 365 as it was too much pressure, but any less pictures without a theme to underpin it felt like a bit of a cop-out. 

Then, I stumbled across an article on Clickin' Moms about a project by Jennifer Bogle where she had photographed dates with her kids and the idea really spoke to me: Being creative with my photography, while taking pictures of my favourite models and setting aside just a little bit of guaranteed time with both of my daughters on their own each month... What a winning combo.

So here are January's offerings.

Cookies before a Sunday afternoon walk to Effy, my eldest, and an impromptu play picnic with Lowen, my tiddler (after illness got in the way of the original date plans, note her sister causing chaos around us!).

Hope to see you there! 

Family Martin

Three strapping young lads and their fabulous parents, beautifully coordinated on location at Oundle Mill last weekend. Little did we know that the mill would close three days later... So somewhat historic too! 

Family Walsh

A beautiful day for a location shoot in the New Forest last Sunday with Family Walsh.

First steps

For the last year, my personal blog has documented my family's life in word and image. It's also been a record of my love for photography, a showcase of what I'm proud of and what I've achieved. It continues to grow.

This is my next step. It starts here.
