Fashion Kicks 2012 is completely SOLD OUT! Set to be one of Manchester’s highlights in the social calendar in 2012. Until I got a call a few weeks ago from MacMillan Cancer Support, I hadn’t heard of Fashion Kicks and since that day I see it being mentioned all over twitter and for very good reason. I was asked if Bardsley Photography would help support Fashion Kicks 2012 and MacMillan Cancer Support by way of donating a prize for the silent auction during the event. So this is what we came up with!
I’m hoping that it will raise some good money for a great cause.

Beautiful Baby Photography

I’ve known Danny for many years, so I was delighted to find out he and Nichola had recently celebrated the birth of a beautiful baby daughter they have called Orla. They wanted some beautiful baby photographs so I suggested that they consider our New Beginnings package for newborn to 2 years. They all came down to the studio back in January and we managed to create some gorgeous images for them.

Photography Studios Manchester – Now Complete!

Finally! As most of our friends, family, colleagues and clients will know, we started work on converting our large garage/gymnasium into a fantastic photographic studio just before Christmas 2010. My plans were originally to have the whole works complete and have an operational studio by the end of January 2011. My professional photographer friends up and down the country were expecting the invite to a topping out ceremony and giving the studio its first session with a few models and plenty of laughs. However as a great business mentor once said to me, “No plan survives its 1st encounter with reality” And so it goes; the finishing of the studio took a few weeks longer than planned. Five to six weeks to be honest.

It looks like the snow is about to descend upon the North West region of the UK over the next few days. It’s already hit Scotland and the North East and looks like Manchester is going to get it’s share towards the end of the week. The last batch of snow we had here at home a few weeks ago, gave a fabulous opportunity to take some great outdoor shots of Donna and the kids and when we got snowed in and Brandon and Saul could not get into school, the sledges came out and off we went for some family fun, camera in tow. I thought I’d share some of my favourite images from the mornings family portrait sledging session. I don’t think the British Olympic bobsleigh team have anything to be concerned about, but we had some great fun. Heres keeping fingers crossed for a white Christmas this year.
