photo shoot

a couple of weeks ago emma and pete came down from birmingham to do a photo shoot for us for a feature going into the 'Celebration of All Things Vintage' in Augusts edition of BBC Homes and Antiques magazine (out 6th July).  emma has been my dear best friend for 15 years and her wonderful husband pete is now just as much a part of the family as emma. we thought the shoot would be at the shop or at home, but emma came into the shop and said 'how would you feel about taking some furniture to a field?'  brilliant idea, she is such a clever lady, we managed to achieve exactly what we wanted and so much more!  the picture is perfect and we had the best time ever doing it.  we loaded up the van (I say we but actually it was nathan and pete, emma and i popped to the local charity shops to find some much needed blankets for the shoot.)  we took a vintage kitchen press, a table, sewing machine... well you can see from the pictures.  when we got there people were still having picnics and playing football.  the boys carried out the furniture and we accessorised with vintage bits and bobs ~ everyone stared opened mouthed, i wonder what they thought was going on... a very elaborate vintage picnic for arty types?  emma took some pics but wanted to wait for the sun to go down a bit so we sat on the grass and spent the evening chatting and laughing - the picture turned out so good, i knew it would.  emma is so clever, her imagination and creativity run wild when she is behind her camera and if you are looking for a photographer with that extra something, that vintage and quirky twist, shes your gal...
