Jules achieves “Master Craftsman” title

Master Craftsman Qualification for Julie Moult  based in Kirkby Mallory, Leicester, Family Portrait Photographer at Jules Photography & Little Creases Newborn Photography

This last year, as many of my clients will be aware,  I have been working on a collection of images to present to The Guild Of Photographers for assessment for my Craftsman Qualification.

I am absolutely thrilled to announce that finally last week my completed panel of images were judged by the Guilds team of International judges and I was actually awarded the “Master Craftsman” Qualification. This award means so much to me for many reasons but possibly the most important reason is that I know I am giving a truly Professional Quality Service and Product to my clients and Master Craftsman is a title I intend to live up to for the rest of my photographic career.

Throughout my photographic Journey I have participated In many training days with various Photographers in particular Damien Lovegrove  who I found extremely helpful and inspiring and I have always come away with new techniques that I have been able to apply to my own work. I think its very important to develop your own style and take inspiration from others to improve your own work and training is invaluable.

Learning to see images as a collection that represents your personal style is not always easy and my Guild Mentor Julie Oswin, a wonderfully talented acclaimed photographer, has played a huge role in helping me put these images together, and I am truly indebted to her for guiding me and encouraging me. She is a wonderful person and a fantastic trainer within the business of photography.

I would like to thank all of my clients, even if your imagesare not in this panel, you have all had an input and been extremely inspirational to me.

and finally thank you to The Guild for being such a nurturing organisation I love being a member of such a warm and friendly group of Photographers from all walks of life

Here is my final panel….

10 images Nominated for National Awards with the Guild Of Photographers

The New Year brought with it 4 Magical emails from the Guild of Photographers I cannot express how honoured I am to have my images nominated for the National Annual Awards again this year and to be considered one amongst some of THE best photographers in the Country!

PRESS RELEASE

Leicester Newborn, Baby, Family & Pet Photographer Jules of Jules Photography & Little Creases achieves National Acclaim!
Jules, a photographer based in Kirkby Mallory, Nr Hinckley Leicester has reached the Final of the fiercely contested Guild of Photographers Image of the Year Competition.

 The Guild is a highly respected UK based association for photographers which has members from overseas as well. Each year it runs an on-line monthly photographic competition with awards being given each month to the very best of the entries.

During the course of 2015, the competition attracted nearly 10,000 entries in 4 categories, and this week the Guild’s Judges have selected just 10 images in the various genres from the very best of the monthly entries, to go forward to the annual Final. Jules‘s has had 10 images Nominated within the 4 Categories of Pet Portraits, Babies & Toddler, Newborn and Maternity

 & children.

Guild Director Lesley Thirsk said “One of the Guild’s aims is to drive standards and creativity amongst photographers. Our monthly competition certainly does that, for the standard of the entries we see each month is quite staggering. To have an image recognised by the Guild in the monthly competition is difficult enough, so to have an image selected as being one of the best 10 in a category for the end of year Final is a quite remarkable achievement, and shows just how talented a photographer Jules is.

”

Jules said “I live for my photography and put a lot of effort into developing my skills. One way I do that is to enter the Guild’s competition. It drives forward photography standards month after month so it helps me push myself. The images I see getting awards each month are inspirational, so knowing just how high those standards are, to have my images selected within the 10 to go through to the Final from the whole year’s entries is really really exciting. I couldn’t believe it when I found out.”

Jules’s image along with the others will now be printed ready for the Competition Final later in January, and the overall winner will be announced at a lavish Awards night in a magnificent Jacobean mansion in Cheshire on 6th February.

Beautiful Baby Willow

a

 

So many blog posts to do to catch up this month!

Its been a crazy two months here at Little Creases, Leicester Newborn & Baby Photography Studio …I have met so many beautiful new babies and I have finally caught up with editing and viewings I am making a start with this gorgeous family.

Vicky is a busy mum and full time commercial model but we managed to fit Willow in for her Newborn session and although Layton her Big Brother wasn’t feeling well..we grabbed a little snap of them together…bless him he spent most of the session flat out on the sofa.

Willow was oblivious to it all and slept the majority of the time!

Baby Jenson

So many baby boys coming in for their Newborn Photo Shoots this month …  I managed to get a few more cuddles from this gorgeous little man when Mummy & Daddy came back for their viewing this week…cant believe how much he has grown! Baby Jenson was actually awake for most of his session…quite content to look around and take it all in…we got a really good mix of wake and sleepy shots for his family album! My Leicester Newborn Studio is always set so we can easily go from sleepy blanket shots to wide awake curled up in basket shots to get the most out of every session… All my Newborn Photo shoots are baby led and never timed, I set aside the whole day to capture your precious memories, after all you cant get this time back again x

Baby Esmae Newborn Session

This beautiful little Newborn baby girl came to see me at 13 days new! She slept pretty much through her whole session and was a dream to photograph.

I have known baby Esmae’s Aunty Sophie since my own daughter was at primary school where they were best friends and have remained so for over 20 years! So this was a very special session for me indeed.

As a Newborn Photographer being chosen to photograph your tiny baby is such an honour,  these days are here once in a lifetime and I promise I will do everything I can to capture it all for you and present images that you will want to hang on your walls for many many years. I hope you enjoy a few more from Esmaes session.

Choosing the right Newborn/Baby Photographer for you – Baby photographer Leicester

Little Creases_Leicester Newborn Photographer816-2

You’ve done the pregnancy test…you’ve had your first scan …yay!!!! your expecting a baby…congratulations!!! your life is now on a roller coaster ride with lots of milestones for you to celebrate along the way. You know you want to capture your beautiful newborn baby when he/she arrives and maybe have some family photos too, but how do you choose the right photographer? There are so many of us! Try not to leave it until baby is here…many newborn photographers are booked months in advance so try and think about it as early on in your pregnancy as possible.  My advice to anyone looking for a professional photographer is to firstly look at the images on their website and ask yourself “Are these the type of photographs you want of your baby?”  ” can you see them on the wall in your home?” If the answer is yes great! Now its a good idea to check they are a professional photographer, after all…it is professional photographs you want right?… a professional photographer will have insurance, will be trained in photography, maybe hold a qualification, they will be a member of a professional photographers association and they will have baby safety standards in place. Remember you will be passing your brand new daughter or son over to this person, they will be responsible for his/her safety…babies NEVER balance on boxes, or sit with hands under chins unsupported for the sake of a photograph…A professional photographer will take 2 or 3 images of a scene with baby supported by mum or dad the whole time and then they will put these images together in post production, even tiny babies can startle and fall of chairs, boxes etc, babies safety has to be THE most important question for you to raise when looking for a photographer to capture you newborn.

A professional photographer will be more than happy to discuss any of the above with you and you can then rest assured you will have beautiful photographs of your precious newborn baby to cherish forever, you only get one chance at capturing these moments….they grow up way too fast!!

Aunties are special too!

I am in love with family synergies

Getting a fun family together makes a newborn session really special for a photographer

Sophie bought her brother Dan and his Wife Anna from Leicester a Newborn Session with me and beautiful baby Esmae was such an angel we got this extra special image of  her with Aunty Sophie.

I am always happy to try and and capture the images you want for your family x
