Now away until 11/11

This is typed in a rush, I have been so naughty not updating this blog, but it has been manic!

I am now off to the sunny Maldives to shoot a wedding for  a fantastic couple - Alan & Jen.

I won't be taking my phone and will have very limited web access. I will try and blog some images in the next week or so, so please pop back in for a look!

In the meantime I leave you with a little slideshow - this is the final design of Jean's Baby Book - enjoy!

Off again...

Ok, so I'm now not around a for a few days , going to spend some quality time with Izzy before she goes back to school, and my husband before he loses his mind! I have been hard at it since getting back and trying to clear my backlog but things are still going slow as it's so busy. So please remember it's about 3 weeks ( give or take a few days) for your proofs at the moment.
In fact it's likely to be that way pretty much until Christmas. Just a note - if you are looking to have anything guaranteed for a Christmas delivery your session needs to happen NO LATER than November 15th. This is to allow for proofing time, your viewing and then working on, placing and receiving your order. September is now pretty much booked up, with a few slots remaining. October is looking ok, but weekends are getting booked out fast. I have some existing things in the pipeline, like James & Steph wedding on the 6th and then Jenny & Alan's wedding in the Maldives in November, plus lots of newborn sessions coming up. I can't wait!

Although I am taking my laptop with me I am not likely to have access to email. I have some albums to design so will be working on those. I am back in the studio on the 3rd.

Holiday time!

Right I am now off for a well deserved break in sunny Cyprus. The studio will reopen on the 15th of August and if you need to get in touch with me the best thing to do is email me on maria@mariamurray.co.uk and I will reply on my return. I am not taking my mobile phone or laptop so will not be reachable at all during that time. Please note that I am now taking bookings for the 2nd week in September and the weekends are now getting booked up pretty quickly - yes the Christmas rush begins in September! So if you are looking to book a session please email me as soon as possible with the dates required.

I wanted to leave you with a slideshow of a session I shot on Frinton beach last month with Jean and his mummy and daddy. The day started of badly - it was pouring with rain, and we sat under the stairs on the beach for some 25 minutes. But, it finally subsided, and bright sunshine slowly came out. We had a fun session and if you want to check out what a beach session may look like please click to watch the SLIDESHOW. Please give it 3-4 minutes to load the first time you watch it.

News , little angels & other stuff!

I am now away until the 26th of May. My diary is full until the 24th of June but If you are looking for newborn session (baby 6 days or less) please call me and I will do my best to shuffle things around and try and fit you in.

I will be sporadically picking up emails whilst I am away, but will be slow in replying so please bear with me. I am going on a wedding workshop in Paris and it will be pretty intensive!

In the meantime I leave you with these pictures of the gorgeous Shea & Summer... aren't they angelic!
