Winter Portraits – Ewan

admin — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 19:48:47 +0000

Just becuase its getting a wee bit chilly outside it doesnt mean to say that (outdoor) portrait season is over. We took little Ewan to Pollock park to have some fun running about in the cold sunshine, kicking up leaves and skipping through puddles in his wellies.

Ewan had a great time and we got some brilliant shots. There is something beautiful about the low winter light at this time of year. And now we have snow !!!!!!

What are you up to this week? Fancy a portrait ?………

Portraits – Hamilton Portraits

Our next portrait shoot was Heathers beautiful little girl.

Such a happy little cutie which makes my job so much easier.

Our portrait reprint prices start from only £8 and our framed prints start from just £35. Add that to our free sittings throughout May and June and you have to ask…..what are you waiting for?

Potraits at Home – Paisley, Glasgow and Hamilton

admin — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 23:51:03 +0000

Next we were off to Paisley again to photograph some regular clients (or their kids at least).

Over the last few years I have taken family pictures when every new arrival reaches 2 months old.

It seems like only yesterday I took pictures of their eldest daughter Lauren when she was that age. Now with the latest addition to the family, James, having his picture taken at the same age, its amazing to see how quickly they change in such a short time. A good reminder of how important it is to regularly photograph children as they grow.

Now that the family is complete I wonder if I will be able to persuade mum and dad to come into the shots…?

Potraits at Home – Paisley, Dunbartonshire,Glasgow and Hamilton

admin — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 11:27:38 +0000

Next up was Andrew and Anya. Two wee smashers who we photographed in the comfort of their own home. Again having everything to hand in the house means we can catch the kids drawing and playing, then wellies on, playing in the rain then back inside for party dresses. All trauma free and easy for you without the hassle of travelling back and forth to a studio.

With two such lovely little subject it would be hard to go wrong, but Andrew and Anya were fantastic fun. I think the kids enjoyed the sitting too and I know mum and dad were happy but the main objective of this sitting was to provide gifts for the grandparents.

We provide free online galleries to all out clients to help show off their images to friends and family.

Portraits at Pollock Park -

admin — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 10:57:19 +0000

Its been a while since we posted any of our portrait work, so while we have the seasonal wedding lull…… Just before Christmas time a previous client and old friend found me through Bebo and asked me to come and shoot her kids. Since we still had a little bit of decent weather and some colour on the trees I suggested Pollock Park. A great place to let kids run about and have their pictures taken.

It was lovely to catch up with the family and great to see the kids again. And although the images above are lovely and left my client very happy, my favourite shot of the day was this one.

Perhaps a little more sombre than usual for a kids portrait but I just love the look and feel of this shot.

A good example of why a slightly more ‘reportage’ approach to kids photography can often pay dividends. Remember we don’t charge a sitting fee and you only pay for the pictures you order. That’s how confident we are that you will love your pictures. To find out more bout our portrait prices contact us here

Deja Vu – Second chance wedding photography by 1500

admin — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:16:11 +0000

At 1500 Photography we are offering you something new.

A second chance to get the wedding pictures you desire.

Deja Vu

A ‘Deja Vu’ sitting gives you the chance to get the fantasy wedding images that weren’t possible or practical on your wedding day. Perhaps you never had a photographer at your wedding and feel you missed out. Perhaps it was dreadful weather and all your pictures had to be taken indoors.

Or maybe you feel like doing something daringly different like a Amanda’s “Trash the Dress” style shoot, above.

Whatever your can imagine – we can photograph.

Arran Portrait – Portraits at Home

admin — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 09:55:03 +0000

Then I was then honoured to be invited to Arran to capture Colin’s 70^th birthday celebrations. Colin’s family had travelled from all over the world for this special occasion. After taking the boat over to the island, Emma very graciously came to collect me from the ferry. We then travelled through some ‘biblical’ rain to get to Colin’s village. Unfortunately we had hoped to take pictures in and around various Arran landmarks but the weather ruled that out, so we made do with indoors.

As luck would have it, just as we were wrapping up, the weather broke. We managed to get some shots outside on the village beach where the whole family grew up and got some cracking shots of Colin and Elizabeth looking out to sea.

A lovely family and a great occasion to be a part of.

Portraits at home – Paisley Portriat

admin — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 12:57:00 +0000

A wee break from the weddings with a couple of portraits. First we have the beautiful little Neve photographed at her home in Paisley. What an absolute cutie and so well behaved too. As with all our portrait clients we recommend that, rather than get all dressed up and drag yourself off to the phony studio environment – you should relax and let us come to you.

That way any changes of clothes or toys required and the general familiar environment helps puts kids at ease. It is also a lovely way to ‘bookmark’ that point in your life too. The context of a home portrait doesn’t seem that valuable until a few years later – that couch, that wallpaper, those toys etc.

Engagement Shoot in Glasgow – Joanne and Martin

admin — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 22:26:09 +0000

I was out the other evening with ‘top couple’ Joanne and Martin who took me up on the June engagement portrait offer. We met up at Pollock House for an evening shoot, which was just lovely. I was booked for Joanne and Martins wedding in August next year but will now be photographing their reception when they return from sunny Cyprus for their (re-arranged) wedding.

Althought a little disappointed not to be photographing the day I really dont mind too much as these guys are brilliant fun to hang about with and apparently came really close to just having their wedding in Scotland purely because they were so keen on my pictures.

As it is, I am consoled by the fact we will be taking plenty pictures on their return to Scotland as a married couple. A superb night, great laugh and (of course) one or two fantastic pictures.

Engagement Shoot – Sam and Willie

admin — Tue, 26 May 2009 17:25:40 +0000

Just to let you see something a wee bit different……

Samantha and Willie are getting married in June, so last week we went out for an ‘engagement’ style shoot. The main purpose of this sitting was to let Samantha see how her make-up would photograph and give Willie some idea of what it felt like having his picture taken professionally (a common concern for guys). It also allowed me to see how the guys would photograph.

Im please to report it was a roaring success all round. Sam and Willie had an excellent time, the couple themselves photographed really well and the shots looked fantastic and even though it was bucketing of rain.

I really enjoyed the afternoon and I would like to do it again…..so, with that in mind………
