Late spring in Highgate Woods

Shooting another photographer is always stressful and nerve-wracking, and this shoot was no exception *ahem*, but could you ask for two better models? Max stood up for ages which he's never managed to do. So proud.

This shoot is a prime example of how important it is to plan your clothing for portraits. If Leon or Max had been wearing mismatching, branded clothing, the images wouldn't have been as effective. It also shows that you don't have to play it safe and wear white tops and blue jeans.

Spring has sprung, people.

And about time, too.

Just a few from an Hindu engagement ceremony I shot in West London. I hadn't been to one before and the ritual and colour was just lovely.

Catching up with some blogging today. I've been a naughty blogger over the last year.

This is the C family. O and J are the MOST adorable boys. J (the older one) ran around and smiled so much, he really made my day. Neither of them seemed to mind my camera, if anything they played up to it. Just what a photographer likes in a shoot!

Look at this cheeky face!















Thanks guys, it was a fabulous day on Hampstead Heath x

Max is now so used to the sight of a camera that he positively glows at me.

Hi all

As some of you may know, I have been on maternity leave for a wee while, however, I have started taking bookings again.

As a spring promotion, I will offer anyone making a booking before the 15th of May, a 25% discount of the final invoice! The shoot does not have to take place before then, but the booking must be made and the deposit sent. For musicians, this deposit is £70, included in the final cost. For family and engagement shoots, the deposit is non-refundable as it is the session fee. All prices and details can be found on my website www.kirstenmavric.co.uk .

In other news, I have expanded my business to include studio photography. Please note that if you wish to have your shoot in a studio, there will be an extra charge of £50.

Please feel free to contact me via the contact button on my website, or email me on kirsten@kirstenmavric.co.uk if you have any questions and I will do my best to accommodate any requests.

Happy Spring!

Helen and John D

In February we ventured over to beautiful Wicklow in Ireland, for the wedding of Helen and John D.

We've known them for a few years now and, not to get too sappy about this, but we find them really inspiring. The love just shines out of them and I knew their wedding day would be just amazing. It didn't disappoint. Planned down to the very last detail, everything went incredibly well. Even the sun shone and we weren't expecting that in Ireland in winter ;)

As John D is a photographer too, many of the guests were his work colleagues, so you can just imagine how many cameras popped up as the day progressed, especially as they left the church. Very funny to watch!

It was a truly special day and we wish you all the happiness in the world xxx

Little Miss H

What a little charmer she is. Huge expressive eyes and great cheeks. A total sweetheart!
