So that in the hope we can create some great shots of your son or daughter for you to treasure a lifetime.</div><div>Above are just a few shots that I took of my daughter in her ballet tutu. With the help of my Mum she found some rose petals which just helped add that finishing touch to create these great shots.</div><div>For more information about my photography or to book a photo shoot session please email me at <b>info@melindawhiting.co.uk</b></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Melinda Whitinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12586175943167007935noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580793053936959563.post-47107414723344928042011-03-01T09:27:00.000-08:002011-03-01T09:34:49.503-08:00Mothering Sunday - The meaning and how Mothering Sunday originated.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmQZdYr7zi0Rpaa4d_dSS6DIfe7kB4gxUhYV2tu78TR7BuiXMahqGLZ5h6-R-_6aMYv8lyMRiK350zMv6aHLtRRvivUA7vrX0Iu7m0vSUcRneMUadfez465zFdK_0hmgMTTX550UFqIhc/s1600/mothersday.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 236px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmQZdYr7zi0Rpaa4d_dSS6DIfe7kB4gxUhYV2tu78TR7BuiXMahqGLZ5h6-R-_6aMYv8lyMRiK350zMv6aHLtRRvivUA7vrX0Iu7m0vSUcRneMUadfez465zFdK_0hmgMTTX550UFqIhc/s320/mothersday.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579166051540844674" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 18px; font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">UK holds the prestige of being the first country in the world to dedicate a special day for mothers, as early as 17th century. In UK, Mother's Day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday in the month of Lent. Since the days of Lent are not fixed, the date for Mother's Day keeps on changing as well. However, the emotions remain the same. The feelings associated with the day are much alike those in the rest of the world i.e. to express gratitude towards our mother. It is an opportunity for the children to let their mother know that she is special and loved and cared for.<br /><br />Mother's Day is the contemporary version of the original name - ‘Mothering Sunday’. The occasion has a long history, which dates back to as far back as the year 1600. During that time, the poor used to send their children to work as domestic servants or trainees in the homes pf higher class of people. Once in a year, these children were given leave for a day, so that they could visit their Mother Church as well as their own mother. The day coincided with the middle Sunday of the fasting period of Lent. It was known as 'Refreshment Sunday' or 'Mid-Lent Sunday'.<br /><br />The children would visit their Mother Church and then head straight to meet their own mother, with some fresh flowers. While the boys would present their mother with flowers, girls would go a step further by presenting them freshly baked handmade cakes, which were also called ‘Simnel Cakes’. With time, the holiday came to be known as 'Mothering Sunday'. The custom of Mother's Day was halted when the world underwent Industrial revolution, but steeply bounced back after World War II. With time, the fourth Sunday of Lent came to be dedicated to the mothers in UK.<br /><br />UK, however, has lost the original meaning entitled to the Mothering Day. Nonetheless, the day is celebrated with lot of excitement and enthusiasm. Roses, carnations and chrysanthemums qualify as the most popular flowers on Mothers Day in Great Britain. The people of UK also follow the tradition of making a rich almond cake for their mother, on Mother's Day, which is often called ‘Mothering Cake’ or ‘Simnel Cake’. UK people pay tribute to their mother and honor their contribution in their life. They let their mother know that she is very special and holds a very important place in their life, which no one can replace</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(102, 0, 0);

With the beauty of internet re-union sites, I happened to come across Michelle Styler who went to the same dance school as me when I was younger whom happens to live not so far from me in Essex. Subsequently she had also met up with another lady who also went to the same dance school and together they came up with a wonderful idea to bring back 'Three Counties Youth Ballet' which was originally created by Sharon Shakespeare.<div>Three Counties Youth Ballet goal is to give a new generation of young talented dancers an amazing performance experience. </div><div>I look so forward to coming and seeing the performance in April 2011. I wish all involved the very best of luck.</div><div>Being an ex dancer I am aware of the right lines when it comes to dance as well as noticing if someone isn't turned out or pointing their toes to their full potential. Therefore with this back ground I am finding myself obtaining a great deal of work photographing dance/model head and shoulder shots which is wonderful as I feel at home. Dance will always be in my blood! </div><div>I am looking forward to attending the 'All England Dance Festival' in Hounslow in November.</div><div>For more information or to book a shoot with me please contact <b>info@melindawhiting.co.uk</b><br /><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:100%;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:11px;"><br /></span></span></div></div></div>Melinda Whitinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12586175943167007935noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580793053936959563.post-90343803497905253522010-10-02T06:32:00.000-07:002010-10-02T07:15:54.546-07:00Baby Portrait Session<div>I was lucky enough this week to meet such an adorable baby girl and capture the tenderness and cuteness in photographs that her parents, family and friends will hopefully treasure for a lifetime.</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy-m4NW7haGs3bWg0rhS4Rj454O5_iZGc-E5X0nkGbV29OpsguQbsc5ptL7vFer0lY0-DacZ6SBJ4CqU7mmisaORoeFtXNiDSR7XUaVoNTdsfxIQbOY0dshlqWuvYuxS7Be998bupAooU/s1600/Summer3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy-m4NW7haGs3bWg0rhS4Rj454O5_iZGc-E5X0nkGbV29OpsguQbsc5ptL7vFer0lY0-DacZ6SBJ4CqU7mmisaORoeFtXNiDSR7XUaVoNTdsfxIQbOY0dshlqWuvYuxS7Be998bupAooU/s320/Summer3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523451075678120178" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzOYVhfpdNA-kLDzshReMMmO1RbwyAzbnvgEcHkcX1l_7ZJAfzOLER5hdndkq3OMZ2Lzw4hmAyh8OKDqFIr3ZAfjiH5Ow7y2Yx5-N20UJuqr21kc46H70n_3nMxcMqw3iRIh46rCq4lwI/s1600/Summer4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 230px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzOYVhfpdNA-kLDzshReMMmO1RbwyAzbnvgEcHkcX1l_7ZJAfzOLER5hdndkq3OMZ2Lzw4hmAyh8OKDqFIr3ZAfjiH5Ow7y2Yx5-N20UJuqr21kc46H70n_3nMxcMqw3iRIh46rCq4lwI/s320/Summer4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523451074197134866" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdlauO449NmE4xhIpmaqiyeUgWXdOTS0XMAEvu5zuyFZyxg2qjpCELZFEDW8Fta4PpjoPdwFTUx5VfLDtIiOafvuopoVuWLi-U8xOIWQfQaG9vjl3sjHfD0eTyVjvB7U2QGts7TtctHE8/s1600/Summer6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 217px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdlauO449NmE4xhIpmaqiyeUgWXdOTS0XMAEvu5zuyFZyxg2qjpCELZFEDW8Fta4PpjoPdwFTUx5VfLDtIiOafvuopoVuWLi-U8xOIWQfQaG9vjl3sjHfD0eTyVjvB7U2QGts7TtctHE8/s320/Summer6.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523451073653999474" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiteZ5eJ42YpXI7I4bveKo2JWhR9F7nBOk5-E_F1GqrnwFMgVhvH-TGG_-jQLqLQc1wAGRSaxb_a1FRf9e-brspHcjQoc4pNKzYC7HoGFr9d0vqleauZzQFAd4QnM2C-P7gobFHv6OdQvs/s1600/Summer14.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 230px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiteZ5eJ42YpXI7I4bveKo2JWhR9F7nBOk5-E_F1GqrnwFMgVhvH-TGG_-jQLqLQc1wAGRSaxb_a1FRf9e-brspHcjQoc4pNKzYC7HoGFr9d0vqleauZzQFAd4QnM2C-P7gobFHv6OdQvs/s320/Summer14.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523451070138952850" /></a>I hope you enjoy looking at these baby photographs.

Until Val Drain who runs a Wedding Creche Company approached me to photograph children attending her Creche I had never heard of Creeksea Place. This Essex venue is just under 30 minutes drive from my home next to the river Blackwater in Burnham…it can only be described as a hidden jewel.</span></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC33CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC33CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">This picturesque setting accompanied with glorious weather helped set the scene even before I had started photographing the children attending Val's Wedding Creche. The staff she had working with her were great with the children. They had loads of toys and activities from Jenga, colouring in books, large ball pool and even a mega Connect 4 (which even I noticed a few big kids playing with). </span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;color:#CC33CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC33CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">If only I had known about Val's Wedding Creche when I got married. As it kept all the children entertained and the parents relaxed, by knowing that the children are having fun and most importantly the confidence that they are been looked after by qualified child care staff. Therefore there's no excuse now why you can't have children at your Wedding, with the help of this great Wedding Creche.</span></span></span></span></div>Melinda Whitinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12586175943167007935noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580793053936959563.post-80191132462280533632010-07-06T13:49:00.000-07:002010-07-06T13:53:25.568-07:00More pictures of Party Time!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6MCsnUlbNDHKG7R7XF3P4QB9zVN9ytKQnBWuf8yLypvB4SrwIKZevRNOSCJKNpZMDwiDUhNTI5nSKZ6JPK3J-_2K5ERNxk5N04nWQMmmXZhYL7YvTbWEVykYpVghmmZaHwu9YrszxAKw/s1600/J&I63.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I have been lucky enough to land some wonderful photographic assignments, from a Bridal Beauty Shoot in a lovely Beauty Salon, 'Deluxe Beauty & Spa' based in Upminster to photographing about 60 children at a lovely Dance School in Staines for their annual show (Spotlight 2010). <div>As well as being busy with various photographic assignments I have been offered a chance to learn about product photography with a wonderful company based in Southend. Some of their clients being ; Next, Musto, The White Company, Fat Face etc.... So watch this space who knows the next time you open your Next Directory up I may of photographed some of the product pictures.<br /><div><br /></div></div>Melinda Whitinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12586175943167007935noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580793053936959563.post-29887960135971000152010-03-14T08:25:00.000-07:002010-03-14T10:12:32.643-07:00Wedding Photo's of Ben & Amy<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8BO6qP2iZrjEv2SFutVGhx0s7XAX1Xr-5GGqWrnPQ82pkMVdAf-4IOi8pbP_Ymw5bHwc6Yr-IXiZPrkNtNZmCxm5xpj3fWdnqdfdXmYkT1dCoyDt-t01hW7M_aNUw5mjpqcL5Q6uwXP4/s1600-h/DSC_0195_893.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448536878530463090" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8BO6qP2iZrjEv2SFutVGhx0s7XAX1Xr-5GGqWrnPQ82pkMVdAf-4IOi8pbP_Ymw5bHwc6Yr-IXiZPrkNtNZmCxm5xpj3fWdnqdfdXmYkT1dCoyDt-t01hW7M_aNUw5mjpqcL5Q6uwXP4/s400/DSC_0195_893.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJiOTsxs0dyUOEP55MCJO4FvpQ0S1vs8D4wiqfsaKy7lSHkteL_eI3eC_-R5Pbf2s7ePZzAmKssLbHLpu-DVET4TOZhuo7qESJ8e2H2N47G-JD6zBoj_lFsqUu8e6Gg4eSbZM22WxU8AU/s1600-h/DSC_0522_1081.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448536107120629666" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJiOTsxs0dyUOEP55MCJO4FvpQ0S1vs8D4wiqfsaKy7lSHkteL_eI3eC_-R5Pbf2s7ePZzAmKssLbHLpu-DVET4TOZhuo7qESJ8e2H2N47G-JD6zBoj_lFsqUu8e6Gg4eSbZM22WxU8AU/s320/DSC_0522_1081.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbagEB0gP_S8VpCq1oLR6r00-PEVZRwSMFyXc6R_3mx3RjmNQfvTeORv4EfFUn2yzYKpONFntfkxsN0qGcn2Xe1jfrjqPuagecVhZNGQIBpXsqNF9pZ5wHxno9E-cDSKs06LhBpb1ip-4/s1600-h/DSC_0506_1079.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448531653508872162" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 235px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbagEB0gP_S8VpCq1oLR6r00-PEVZRwSMFyXc6R_3mx3RjmNQfvTeORv4EfFUn2yzYKpONFntfkxsN0qGcn2Xe1jfrjqPuagecVhZNGQIBpXsqNF9pZ5wHxno9E-cDSKs06LhBpb1ip-4/s320/DSC_0506_1079.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNaWR83LZUuHBDPpw4cxydVJuNy3DBzP9bPgvdx7st_KhQwW2zKN6WFkQCjbgRdNU-E84VXV8ZRqVkZ4hp81msJ5Haw8dys8qrMVPufoFL_whqsoWefHSm6Y3Zm67QEYVafypj7oKU0fo/s1600-h/DSC_0348_1013.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448531642073223186" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 264px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNaWR83LZUuHBDPpw4cxydVJuNy3DBzP9bPgvdx7st_KhQwW2zKN6WFkQCjbgRdNU-E84VXV8ZRqVkZ4hp81msJ5Haw8dys8qrMVPufoFL_whqsoWefHSm6Y3Zm67QEYVafypj7oKU0fo/s320/DSC_0348_1013.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEgjnLBEmyrxD4bFywRoK_SfjQDKmmYgSFVNs841A2P9ZMCUy2aHFmz4idIvxbE_f36KXFOHp9poYRBKZyj1yli9bgzsWQs3CDR202arulC1lgEkNfzeUBcRROa_aw5yrz-HoE-zorarA/s1600-h/DSC_0244_930.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448531630135490898" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 205px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 264px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEgjnLBEmyrxD4bFywRoK_SfjQDKmmYgSFVNs841A2P9ZMCUy2aHFmz4idIvxbE_f36KXFOHp9poYRBKZyj1yli9bgzsWQs3CDR202arulC1lgEkNfzeUBcRROa_aw5yrz-HoE-zorarA/s320/DSC_0244_930.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><span style="color:#993399;">Yesterday I was honored to be part of a special day for a lovely couple called Ben & Amy.

I am vibrant new photographer who loves taking portrait photographs. Since having my daughter whom is now coming up to 2 years old, it has been commented that I probably have a picture of her for every day of her life so far.<br /><br /><br /><br />"Memories are pictures in your heart, but photographs are memories in your hand".<br /><br /><br /><br />I hope you enjoy looking at the photo's I have captured and please feel free to comment. My goal for the New Year is to put all the energy I have into becoming a successful photographer (well all the energy I have left after looking after my little girl). This is a promise I made to my Dad who sadly passed away in September this year. Life isn't a dress rehearsal so I endeavour to make the most out of every day.</div>Melinda Whitinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12586175943167007935noreply@blogger.com3
