BLOG, TIPS, ADVICE AND MUSINGS FROM YOUR WHITCHURCH, HAMPSHIRE STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHER
Welcome to my blog! I am Lisa, a very busy mum and professional photographer in Whitchurch, near Basingstoke. Hampshire.
Whether I’m cuddling new babies for newborn photography, getting covered in icing to celebrate baby’s first birthday at their cake smash, or carefully posing the whole family for your heirloom family portrait, I just love my job!
As you can imagine, I meet lots of lovely and interesting people along the way. Here I share stories about photoshoots, information so you know a little bit more about what I do. I’ll give you advice to help you to choose the right photographer for you, or prepare for your shoot, or decide what to wear, and I’ll also give you a little peek behind the scenes so you can see what the life of a photographer is really like!
