model – Lauren Foster Photography

The days are warmer, the schools have finished up and outdoor locations and attractions are packed….. must be summer lol.

Most of you will think I’m mad but I’m not a massive fan of summer, for me it’s the heat and I don’t cope great in the heat. I do however like the nice feeling that the sun brings, nature comes alive and the nights are less of a bore.

Most people if not everyone is outside, enjoying not only the weather but the easing of restrictions in Scotland. photographers are making the most of the nice weather and venturing outside with their cameras. This is a great season for outdoor photography and a busy time for working photographers. Unfortunately Ive had to postpone both professional and personal projects as I make some personal changes within my life, i won’t go into too much detail just now but if you follow me I will explain these at a later date.

Ive not been blogging much really, as I’ve not had much me time but i will get back to boring you all soon lol. Anyhoo… I had the pleasure of doing my first communion this month, the weather stayed dry and that’s all I could be thankful for. Being a photographer I thought I could go out into the world and capture anything.. I’m quickly learning that isn’t the case. I’m not the most confident person and I’m extremely hard on myself, maybe too hard sometimes. I’ve learned that outdoor portraits isn’t my strong point and I put a lot of pressure on myself to capture something different, this does not do me any favours. Did I enjoy doing the shoot? No. Did I capture something different? No. Will I do it again? Probably 😂

This shoot was extra special because the girl making her first communion was my niece. Having me as her auntie, she is a pro in front of the camera as you can imagine and she looked gorgeous ☺️ I’m starting to babble on now so I’ll just show you…

Her mum, like all other mums out there just wanted a nice picture of their child that represented their special day as a keepsake, and I think I managed to give her exactly that.

In the fear of writing a novel and talking too much I will keep my recent shoot for another blog lol. Until the next time 😘

A few weeks ago, I decided to capture a set of three images that would all tie in with each other, in one way or another. I had a few ideas with the first being of a romantic nature. This idea involved two people, a male and female, a red heart and a fair bit of photoshop work. I managed to organise the two required subjects and organise the photoshoot for a few days later. Unfortunately for various different reasons I was unable to capture what I had envisioned, but unwilling to walk away with nothing decided to create a set of three using a little creativity.

With my set of three images complete I realised that I could make a series and add to the series,bit by bit, using different subjects and other creative touches. I used a quote to name the series, it’s the perfect title for this series….

“In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect”
Alice Walker

All the above images are modelled by the lovely Iga Brola.

This series will continue, becoming my new project among other things 🙈😂… watch this space ☺️
