Snow 2013: part 2
This is the second post of my two-part blog series on this year's snow photos.. if you've not seen part one yet and would like a look, check it out here!
At the beginning of the year, the lovely Nicola Johnson asked me if I would shoot some portraits of her family, which to me was a big honour as she is a portrait photographer herself. As luck would have it, on the weekend of the shoot we had a beautiful snowfall which made for an exceptionally magical location!
After shooting with her wonderful family, we managed to fit in a mini-photo day before we got too cold to move. Due to travel problems and short notice I don't really get the opportunity to shoot with other people when it snows, so it was particularly inspiring to be able to take photos of Nicola with the snow falling around us. Hope you like them!

Theda Bara ( July 29, 1885 – April 7, 1955), born Theodosia Burr Goodman, was an American silent film actress – one of the most popular of her era, and one of cinema's earliest sex symbols. Her femme fatale roles earned her the nickname "The Vamp" (short for vampire).

Snow 2013: part 1
This year's snow pictures come as a two-parter blog post - I ended up having a mini photo day as well as taking self-portraits so there are lots of pictures to come!
For this first set, Graham and I travelled back to the village I grew up in, which was a wonderful flashback to the earlier days of my photography. Several times a week I'd hike around the woodland by my house, tripod and camera in hand, shooting self-portraits to build my portfolio and familiarise myself with my camera - something I think was key to my development as a photographer.
So here we go.. three new self-portraits! Keep your eyes peeled for part 2, my snowy photo day with the wonderful Nicola Johnson, coming soon ♥

(Admittedly this one below isn't very snowy, but the second I saw this abundance of teasels I couldn't resist shooting in it!)
And lastly, a few little behind the scenes snippets from Instagram! @catlanephoto

Katharine Hepburn
Katharine Houghton Hepburn (May 12, 1907 – June 29, 2003) was an American actress of film, stage, and television. Known for her headstrong independence and spirited personality, Hepburn's career as a Hollywood leading lady spanned more than 60 years. Her work came in a range of genres, from screwball comedy to literary drama, and she received four Academy Awards for Best Actress—a record for any performer. Hepburn's characters were often strong, sophisticated women with a hidden vulnerability.

Hello, 2013
So here we go.. my first little set of pictures in 2013. I'd not even planned to go out and shoot that day, but the second I saw the beautiful frozen landscape I couldn't resist running back home to grab my camera, tripod and an outfit and shoot until I could bear the cold no longer. We've got snow forecast for the end of the week so I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed to be able to create a proper set of snow photos as I always have done in years previous!
Wishing you all a blissfully happy and creative 2013 - let's make it the best year yet!
(As always, I can never resist a bit of behind the scenes Instagram-ing! Follow me over at @catlanephoto if you fancy ♥)
