Head on over to the workshop blog, and you will see the first few postings up as thank you's.

Just a tiny fraction of what was shot over the two days, you'll have to wait for more when the book is published.

Head on over and show some blog love, and please feel free to comment!

Well done to Chris and Guy who appeared on Channel TV tonight, nerve wracking stuff!

You can go here to see it again on the link here: http://www.channelonline.tv/channelonline%5Fguernseynews/DisplayArticle.asp?ID=498130

Well, all 30 of the photographers have arrived safe and sound for the workshop. And today is the big day for handing out assignments, some kick off at 5am, up with the birds, and the dustbin men!

Please check out the blog, 

I first photographed Katie when she was expecting Savanna, then they both came in when Savanna was just a few days old. She is the delightfully hairy little peanut I've used in my advertising in 'Guernsey Now', so we re-created the head on the shoulder images to show how much this little darling has grown. She still has that mop of hair! This time she came in with two brand new teeth, and sat and smiled, and showed them off. Beautiful Mother and daughter with images to cherish as she grows up.

Our workshop photographers will be hard at work on their assigments! How exciting. Booking accomodation, food, transport, and assigments has been a lot of fun.

30 Professional photographers coming to Guernsey from all over the UK. It's probably a first for Guernsey, to have it photographed through so many professional 'eyes' with access to all sorts of special places, not always open to the public.

It's going to provide us with a very different insight to the island. We so often see it through the eyes of summer, blue skies, and sandy beaches. This peek is going to be 'Guernsey off season' looking at how the island works, and the daily lives of the people who keep things ticking along. Our own 'un-sung heros'.

Eventually there will be a book on sale, entitled 'An Everyday Guernsey' it's going to become an historical document of it's time and I'm very proud to be part of it's process.

If you see a lost looking photographer wandering around looking slighty dazed... do go and say hello! Make 'my' photographers welcome, Guernsey folk! I know how good we locals are at making our visitors feel the love. 

I wish I could share some of the wonderful tasks with you, but part of the workshop is to keep the assignments a big secret until the early hours of the first day, when they will be given their jobs, and told to get on with it!

But for those of you who have expressed an interest in the workshop, there will be a blog to follow, as well as twitter at these will be updated various times daily. I'll post a link here for you to see what paces we are putting our photographers through.

Three weeks and counting...

How happy Daddy was when he found these beautiful girls in his stocking. I love to photograph babies that have arrived to my wedding couples. Watching these families grow is a delight.

A request from Mandy, I'm a bit behind blogging, and they are due in tomorrow to view!! This is going to be the quickest 'sneak peak' ever...

Arrgh, here you go, Mandy, just for you. Your adorable, beautiful, and hairy little daughter! I adore her mop of hair, she's so sweet. 

Love Amy's little botty in the air, too cute!

Look at all that hair! Mum will be putting it in bunches in no time!

Harry is just the best big brother, and did really well with his little sister, until kissing her got boring, and he had a little play with his digger! Got to love those boys!

Don't come much more wonderful than your kids getting together, keeping it secret, then springing the suprise on Mum for her birthday!

Mum had no idea when she was brought into the studio on her birthday just what awaited her. After settling in with a glass of champagne, the treat was a viewing of her children's photographs.

The grin never left her face!

They don't wait for anyone! Had a lovely 'batch' of babies in over the holidays. So sharing here some baby yummyness for you.

Remember, Guernsey Mums, please bring your newborns in before the magic 10 days pass. It's an effort, but you just can't switch back the clock to get these lovely images after the 'newborn' phase. You'll still have beautiful photos, but that super-mallability will be gone.

Enjoy...first up, some toes. Some parents ask for the oddest things.... 'we like feet' so you go with the request, and end up with one of the favourite images of the year!

Playtime in the studio again. This time, Ariana and her new sister, Emily came in. Ariana was so sweet with her, kissing her, cuddling her, then doing a backflip! (as you do) She's going to be a fantastic big sister.

I photographed Ariana when she was a newborn, and it's a delight and priviledge to watch this lovely family grow.

Guernsey newborns.... in before the 10 day limit, please.

Up next, two georgous girls. We had some fun shots with them, as big sister danced across the studio floor, and little sister crawled to catch  her up.

Love the one shot as they both look in different directions, as if that was it, they were done!

Lot's of lovely baby bumps in this week, ladies, I'm guessing you are all going to meet up in hospital at around the same time!

This Mummy is going to have her hands full with three little people. Lauren's children are so smiley and happy, I don't think it's going to be a problem! 

Baby arrived yesterday...so I'm waiting!

Won't be long before baby's georgous big brother with his mop of blonde curls comes in with his little brother/sister! Going to have a lot of fun with that shoot. He and Daddy make a lovely shot. Mummy with her beautiful hair, too. A lovely little family, and now with one new member.

Aren't they adorable? Two little sisters, getting in the party mood for someone's visit next month...

Those beautiful eyelashes! Ah, but I'm sure he will be a big hit with the girls when he's a lot older. A very sweet little man who came in at 3 weeks old. Please try to bring your newborns in for their sessions before 10 days old, I can do things so much more easily, as the babies are more 'bendable'! However, this little Dylan was a very good boy, and didn't complain at all the shapes I wriggled him into.

Well worth it. Enjoy.
