I'm so naughty!

2010-04-28T03:43:00.000-07:00

Gosh, I'm such a terrible person! I haven't been on here for so long!
Life suddenly got so hectic and the Blog got ignored!

So, let me fill you in on the last few months!
Had a fantastic fortnight in Rhodes with the family in October; very pleased to get this great shot of a lightning strike!

Once we got home my feet really didn't touch the ground!

We did a photoshoot and video for Steppin' Out Academy and their superb production of 99 and Broadway - all the photos are on my main site: http://www.linsey-oneill-design.co.uk/steppinout.htm. It really was a fantastic show, well done to everyone involved.

The following week we videoed the Hammond Academy's super show 'Standing Ovation II, Myths and Legends' at the Pier Theatre in Bournemouth. So a hectic few weeks ensued editing video; a very labourious and time-consuming task!

It was wonderful to have so many clients come to the studio for portraits for Christmas; we had great fun and everyone was thrilled with their Christmas pressies!

After Christmas I appeared in the Pantomine 'Alice in Wonderland' at Lytchett Matravers. Playing Princess Incontinenta wasn't the most flattering part ever but we all had great fun!

In March we did the photos and video for Milton Academy of Dance - A Night to Remember; another fantastic show; these kids are so talented! The pics can be seen at: http://www.linsey-oneill-design.co.uk/LinseyO'NeillDesignClientArea.htm. I've spent the last few weeks editing video again! Nearly done! DVD's should be delivered in the next couple of weeks!

The last couple of days have been amazing! Steve and I have been on a photography seminar at Margam Park in Wales; it's an amazing place! We were so lucky to get some great advice from one of the UK's top wedding photographers Gordon McGowan http://www.scottishweddingphotographer.com/Artist.asp?ArtistID=12185&Akey=YAPRX2K7

It was a wonderful couple of days and we've got some great ideas for our forthcoming weddings! Gordon is incredible, so inspiring! I'll be putting some photos up here very soon!

So, that's my life in brief for the last few months! I promise to try to be good and keep the blog up to date in future!

Back soon!

Then it was off to Julie Adams Stage School, first to take individual portraits of the performers in their fabulous costumes, then, last weekend we photographed the show. Back tomorrow to do the video!
