Busy, busy, busy!

Busy, busy, busy!

It's hard to believe that we are already in the 2nd month of 2010! We have had a fantastic 2009 and would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our Bride & Grooms, Commercial clients, Models, Dancers, Families and Boudoir girls (and boys) who we have had the pleasure of photographing during 2009 — you have all been wonderful and we very much look forward to seeing you all again at some time in the near future!


Gallery updates
Quick overview on some website updates we are pleased to be able to share with you. We have added further images to our gallery sections including Wedding images, Civil Partnership images (thank you to Danny & Paul for allowing us to showcase a few of their images), additional Boudoir images (thank you girls) and we have also updated our Family portrait gallery (thank you again guys). If you have time please feel free to browse around any of our updated Gallery sections.

New Proof Gallery
Our new proof gallery has turned out to be a great success, with customers from all over the UK being able to purchase inexpensive prints from their families Wedding & Portrait shoots directly from their gallery with complete confidence. We have received some great feedback from customers using this service and are continually trying to improve our website ease of use and accessibility.

Testimonials
Thank you to everybody who has been kind enough to put pen to paper and leave us with some wonderful testimonials.


Special Occasions
With most of our Valentines shoots now completed it may be a good idea to plan ahead. As Mother's day is now just around the corner, an SMH Photography studio session could be the perfect gift for your Mother, whether it be a special treat for her own glamourous shoot or some wonderful images of her children or grandchildren for her to treasure forever, there really is no nicer way of letting her know you really care. Please
contact us for availability.


Getting Married?
We absolutely love photographing Weddings and this is looking to be a very busy year for us with a lot of our work coming from referrals, there really is no nicer compliment than to know that our Brides & Grooms are so happy with their photographs and Wedding Albums that they continue to recommend us to all of their friends and family. We still have some dates available for 2010, though they are being taken quickly so if you are interested in finding out more about our Wedding photography services please
contact us to check our availability; we will then visit you at your home (absolutely no obligation) where we can share with you some of our wonderful Wedding Storybook Albums, show you further images we have taken and discuss your Wedding photography requirements with you in more detail.

Thanks for taking the time to drop by.

Best regards

November already!

November already!

Wow, this last month has really flown by, and before we know it Christmas will be upon us {probably not what you wanted to hear) Happy

We have added a few more website updates and thank you to those of you who have commented on the updates so far (including those kind people who highlighted a few errors here and there) Happy

We have been really busy with some fantastic Weddings and still have lots left to come this year; we really love what we do and would like to take this opportunity to wish all the couples we have photographed to date the very best for your future together.

Don't forget if your stuck for Christmas ideas why not think about giving the perfect gift this year to that somebody special — yes, you guessed it — a Studio Session here at SMH Photography! We can offer you that special portrait session for your family; we all know how quickly children grow up! So go on,
contact us and book a session today and help capture those precious memories, or why not treat your partner or loved one to a portrait or Boudoir session — what better way of saying how much you care? And with Valentines only just round the corner don't forget boys and girls this a really special way of showing your love with something classy and really different from the usual bunch of flowers — something that you will both cherish for years to come!

Now even easier to give!

Have you checked out our new Gift Voucher scheme yet? This is the ideal way to pay for any of the services we offer, whether you are treating yourself to that special indulgent gift or whether treating that somebody special in your life — you know you can even use them to help spread the cost, buy vouchers whenever you can afford them — of course, if you want to pay the old fashioned way with cash or cheque when you arrive for your session that is more than perfectly acceptable to us too.

Do you have a Wedding coming up?

Why not let your guests, family and friends help towards the cost of your Wedding Photography? With our Wedding Gift Vouchers they can purchase what ever amounts they like and you can then use them to redeem against the cost of your Wedding package, your Album or any extra's you may want!

New Client Proofing area now live

We are very excited to be able to announce our new Client Proof area is now live; all clients who take advantage of our web proofing galleries from 3/11/09 will be able to use these new proofing galleries making it even easier to view and purchase images from your proofs. You can create favourites, you can compare images side by side, view them in many different crop formats to see how your image would look in your chosen size, redeem vouchers against purchases as well as now being able to purchase Prints, Canvas Wraps, Gallery Prints and Box Frames directly form your proof gallery. This is just a small list of the many exciting things you are now able to do; we will of course explain everything fully to people taking advantage of this.

Do you have an existing proof gallery that you would like changing over? If so just contact us and we will change it over to the new system immediately for you!

We also have further updates to our
Wedding & Portrait galleries sections coming soon, so please keep checking back whenever you can.

Thanks for taking the time to drop by.

Website Updates

WEBSITE UPDATES

Hi and thanks for taking the time to visit our new Blog.

Totally new to this so we may take some time to get used to it! Happy We have been extremely busy but will try and keep this Blog updated with what's happening once a month from now on.

Well, the new website updates are mostly done now (still have a few things outstanding of course).

NEW! We have now added the ability to purchase gift vouchers directly from our website; these can be purchased specifically for Weddings (a perfect gift for the Bride & Groom or an easy way to spread the cost of your Wedding package), Studio Portraits & Portfolio vouchers (the perfect gift idea) and Boudoir Confidential vouchers (for that extra special gift or that super sexy treat for yourself), in fact you can use them for any of our services or products! We have specific designs available (i.e., Wedding, Boudoir, Studio) or you can purchase a generic Photography voucher (any of which can be used towards any of our services and products). They are available to purchase in amounts of £10, £25 and £50

NEW! If you get the chance take a look at our new Animated Slideshow Videos on the gallery pages. We can tailor these to suit any of your requirements, whether it be from your Portrait shoot, your Wedding or even your Boudoir session, they are a great way of showing your images and a nice addition to your prints or albums. Contact us for pricing information (we think you will be pleasantly surprised!).

UPDATED! Check out our updated Wedding, Portrait, Portfolio & Boudoir Confidential galleries when you get the chance. We have also updated our "About" page if anybody wants to find out a little more about SMH Photography.

UPDATED! We have also updated our Testimonial page with a couple more of your comments - Thank you to all the people who have commented so far — we will try and get all of the comments circulated in the next month or so.

Thanks for looking and don't forget Christmas is just around the corner so if you're looking for the ultimate timeless gift then check out our
Gift Voucher scheme, after all memories are priceless and there is no better way of capturing those memories than with one of our photo shoots.
