My Greatest Photographic Moments of 2017

Unlike last year (where I totally forgot until May!), this January I’ve remembered to compile a post of my favourite photographic moments of the previous year as soon as the Christmas decorations have been taken down.

So again, like my Bloopers and Outtakes posts (which are meant to be a change from the norm of fashion bloggers rounding up their favourite outfits of the year – I do those quarterly), I like to do things a little differently: I’m showcasing my favourite images, not just the outfits. I’m so proud of Keith’s photography that he deserves a little shout out for all his efforts towards making me look as good as possible (not an easy task judging by my facial expressions in the outtakes)!

Same as last year, I’ve grouped the photos into certain categories: Stunning locations and backdrops, beautiful lighting, great composition, details and captured movement – PLUS! this year I’ve added in a new category just for doggy shots. We got Riley in March last year so he’s appeared many times on the blog now: I never expected a dog to steal my thunder so brazenly… I thought the saying goes that you should never work with children or animals? Well, this dog seems to be a natural in front of the camera.

(Maybe it’s because his previous mum is also a (totally fabulous) fashion blogger…?!)

I have a confession/apology to make: Last year I asked if any of you might like to see a photography tips post about lighting, composition, etc., and several of you said yes. I had SUCH a busy year I never got round to it in the end, so I’m definitely going to make time in 2018 for it. Things are going to change round here, I can tell you!! 😉

So expect tips on how to compose interesting shots, the same for lighting and how best to capture and work with it, ideas for photographing details (with examples) and so on. In other words, how we got these shots and how you can create similar images.

So sit back and enjoy these beautiful shots – here’s to all the Instagram husbands everywhere!
