You know, for all die-hard photographers that rattle on about how terrible Jessops are, I’ve had nothing but great service from them. I’ve been shopping there regularly since I started getting into photography, and any time I have had a problem, they have done their best for me.

Over the weekend, one of my studio lights popped. The bulb and fuse were both blown, however after replacing them, the light still didn’t work at all. I was frantic - I found my receipt and discovered the lights are still under warranty, so I phoned them and explained the situation. I was asked to come in and speak to a manager today, which I did. The manager then told me I could have the light repaired, which would take weeks, or he could exchange it with a new flash head, which would arrive in 3 days. This is the option I went for, and I am very pleased about the whole thing.

So my thanks go to the Dundee Jessops, for making my life less complicated!

Thank goodness the weather has been great lately. I love spring, especially as the days are getting longer once again!

Over the last few weeks I’ve been working on a few personal projects. I’ve been working on a few shoots for friends and new models, as well as a couple of commissions to keep me going. Wedding season is coming round again, although I’m torn between focusing on weddings, or trying my hand at other things.

I’ve just uploaded a bunch of photos from an event I covered in the Overgate, Dundee. VMskills hosted a competition inviting students and professionals to come up with the most creative and inspiring window-dressing designs. It was an interesting competition, and I was glad to be a part of the Scottish heat. Fingers crossed for the Scotland finalists, I hope they go on to win in London later this year!

I also worked on a bridal fashion shoot, which was just a blast. The dresses were from The Bride in Broughty Ferry. The Bride is run by Elaine, who is very friendly and relaxed. If you are looking for a wedding dress then I truly recommend visiting The Bride, you will be in very capable hands!

The shoot took place in the lovely Lands of Loyal Hotel in Alyth. I had already visited this hotel before during a wedding for a client, and the hotel definitely struck me as an ideal location for this type of shoot. The staff made us feel very welcome and provided us with excellent service throughout the day.

I’ve been fairly busy, but unfortunately I’ve also been struck with a cold that my boyfriend kindly brought home from work one day. As a result, when I’m not feeding him lemsips and flu-tablets, I’m trying to look after myself!

I’ll go for now, speak soon!
