Danebury Grasstrack Burnfield Spinner

The first event of 2009 for John Rose Photography was the DGTRC Burnfield Spinner. These events are always good fun and full of action. Thank you to the organisers for inviting me and to the officials for making it a special, and most of all safe, event.

FREE Wedding Photography

In August last year I told you about a very exiting trip to London to meet with the CEO of the SWPP (Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers) and a few other SWPP members to discuss a charity fundraiser we were putting together which we hoped would raise vast amounts of money for charity. http://johnrosephotography.blogspot.com/2008/10/old-news.html

Well things have moved on and we are now putting this into action. The charity we are supporting is Cancer Research and we have a Facebook Group http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=logo#/group.php?gid=47163686890 where you can get details of what is being offered and how you can get involved.

Please mark the page as a favourite and return frequently to keep up to date with the progress of this unique opportunity. You can use the facebook group page to nominate someone to be considered to receive the free wedding photography or indeed just give a donation to the charity.
Please help us to help this very important charity and give a couple a wonderful memory of thier special day.

Family Portrait

I enjoyed this family portrait session. Kelly wanted some pictures of her partner and his daughter as a present. We had arranged to do it at Danebury Hill Fort just outside Andover and were praying for the weather to be kind. Well the day came and the weather was indeed kind, albiet very cold. It was a beautiful day with the sun peeping through occasionally.

We walked around the hill fort and I just snapped away while they were walking and talking; just how I like to do portrait sessions. A big thank you to Kelly for choosing me to do this family portrait and for choosing such a great location.

Family Portrait

Rachel wanted some pictures of there six week old baby for Christmas presents. Harry was a lovely little boy but seemed very tired on the day. We manages to keep him awake while we got some shots of him and his parents and of course by the time we had finished he was wide awake
and ready to play.

Family Portrait

Brenda and Ken wanted some family portraits and I was lucky enough to be asked to go to their daughters house to photograph them all.

They are a lovely family and it was a pleasure to meet them all.

Lynn, Russell and Mac

This is quite a sad story. Lynn and Russell have had Mac since he was a puppy. He is a lovely dog, very excitable and very much still a child at heart. Mac is not destined to be on this earth much longer though. He managed to get a grass seed lodged in his lung a while ago which caused an infection. He had an operation and the seed was removed but the damage caused is irreversable and he only has a couple of years to live.

Lynn and Russell wanted a momento to remember him by and I hope I have been able to give them something they will cherish forever.

Winterslow Pre-School

This was my first real shoot after my lighting course and was eager to try out my new lighting techniques. As always the kids were great (and unpredictable) and I had a great time photographing them.

A big thank you to the staff for their help.
