How to look good in your Photo shoot – Make up & Styling tips

As Mother’s Day is around the corner we start to think.. what can we get for Mum? We have been photographing a lot of Mothers and Daughters, even a three generation shoot with Grandparents.

Why I was inspired by 10 BRCA ladies to take this shot

Having earn’t my living photographing women for many years I jumped at the chance to take this shot of these 10 inspiring ladies as it was my chance to give back. All these women carry the faulty BRCA gene mutation which means that they all have an 80% chance of developing breast and ovarian cancer. Some of these ladies have had mastectomies and hysterectomies – some due to cancer and some for preventative reasons. We wanted to show that no matter what they have gone through they are all still beautiful and wanted to also raise awareness. Celebrities such as […]

My Fabulously Fun Photo Session

Laura’s Experience Like any modern woman, I’m a big fan of taking selfies. They give me the opportunity to show myself at the best angle, with the most flattering lighting and the occasional Instagram filter. Now I’m not talking about being vain or self-obsessed, but being creative and sharing photos with friends. As much as I enjoy photographing myself, the thought of being the other side of the camera has always made me feel excited and terrified in equal measure. So when I decided to have a portrait taken, I went to Charlotte from Steve Hampshire Photography. From the minute […]

Mother of Portraits by Steve Hampshire

It’s hectic and rewarding being a mother, I’m so pleased we managed to find the time to take this stunning portrait. Wasn’t it worth it, because it was fun to do. It’s important to take time for yourself and to create a lasting image like this is priceless! I got so many different looks from one session. When I presented the images to see her reaction, (well tears were shed) was priceless, I knew I had done my job. The framed final product is like art as it’s printed on archival fine art quality paper. This is going to be […]

Detour Through Dartmoor – Landscapes with Steve Hampshire

As a photographer I’m always travelling around the country to photographic jobs. Recently on my way to Cornwall I took a detour to travel through Dartmoor. What a magical place. My journey from London had been in blissful sunlight, but not Dartmoor which was misty, damp and very, very moody! Just enough time to jump out the car and catch a couple of pictures. Note to self, must go back and take some more pics of this mean and beautiful landscape. Landscapes are for decorating the world we live in, so why not take your own as you go about […]
