Ferris Bueller's Day Off!

As Sarah mentioned, we've had great fun rebranding ourselves and our patio window is currently post-it noted (minus porridge). The big push was to get our brand/image established, and then design the front page of our site from that. The rest of the site should hopefully follow suit. We really wanted a big friendly image on the homepage and minimal text with no photography speak Then I remembered that famous line from Ferris Bueller's Day Off (one of the best films of all time!), and that was it.

With some great feedback from friends we iterated from blue blast, down to a more subdued version of the page but retaining the major elements, and we are pleased as punch. Time will tell as to whether anyone else agrees :) , but having seen more photographic sites than is strictly healthy over the last few weeks, we were just tired of seeing the same old words and wanted a more design led approach.

This site on 2008 design trends was very useful. As was the Website Design Awards site. We're not done yet, so expect more changes over the next few weeks...

Website revamp - Swinging Imogen

As we are to have a mega ad in the Baby Surrey Magazine we thought a revamp of the website was in order. We had an uberbrainstorming session in the kitchen with post it notes flying in and out of Bronwyn's porridge! We want to make the site/our brand more like us( - scary!) Fun not cheese. Approachable not geeky photospeaky. Two very, very late nights later and we think the site is greatly improved. We are shattered though and ready to have a holiday from it! Its been great fun though.

Thanks to those who broke off from busy working days to give comment - Aimee, Michelle, Jude... Irena at IBM.

Baby Surrey Magazine - pictures to be published!!!

What an amazing and crazy week it has been!
We're so so happy as I have just been signed up by the new glossy and classy Baby Surrey magazine (every Mum I have spoken to seeems to have got their first complimentary copy!) - my main task is to photograph families for their 'Welcome to the World' new babies in Surrey feature and some more features. I AM SO EXCITED! It is just exactly my kinda thing -and how it all happened is quite a miracle! (ask me and I'll tell you). The team at the magazine based in Southampton all seem great. I think this is going to be a great project for me!

Testimonial - Phipps on Horsell Common

With Sarah Aires Photography you not only get a professional photographer but someone who really cares about the final product. Sarah was extremely dedicated and commited to making sure we got all the shots we wanted and even some we hadn't thought of. When we got the results through we were more than impressed and would not hesitate to recommend Sarah for all occasions.
