Jemima's News - Out and About

Once again it is time for the Dunkeld Arts and Craft Fair. The Spring Fair is my favourite of all as I get a chance to catch up with artists and visitors who I haven't seen since last year. This is my seventh year exhibiting and I can honestly say that I have enjoyed every time. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to visit and ask about my work. It really means the world to me.

As well as exhibiting Tail Wags and Sparkles Sessions I also have a variety of prints and cards for sale. I so enjoy this part of my work !

Last year I had the pleasure of working with singer Heather Innes who at the time had started to record a new album. I am happy to say that Heather's new album "Here Comes The Day" is now complete and she has asked me once again to put together one or two slideshows of images. One song which caught my attention right away was Heather's version of "Rainbow Days And Firework Nights" by Ben Sands. I won't give too much away here but I just love the words and message in the song. So this is where we begin x

We really did have a lovely day with some sunny showers thrown in. Very fitting for the song title. Here is just a wee preview of what we got up to !
















And of course no session is complete without being photobombed by the dog. Really Munro !


Just a couple of weeks later we were back for another session, this time joined by musician Kate Kramer. This set of images is for a completely different song with a very different mood but more about that at a later date. In the meantime here is a sneak peek.







Thank you Heather and Kate for being so wonderful to work with !

This weekend will be the annual Appleby Horse Fair. Horses were always a huge part of my life and I had always dreamed of a trip to the Appleby Horse Fair. Two years ago I celebrated a rather milestone birthday and my friends arranged a weekend at the Fair for us. It was amazing with so much to see and do. So, this was the Appleby Horse Fair 2015. I really hope to go again some day.
















The rain didn't stop us having a fabulous time and best of all we were treated to this lovely rainbow at the end of the day ! It really is a beautiful part of the country.

Something a little bit different from me ! This summer I have been working with singer Heather Innes on a music project. Heather and I have been friends for many years so this was something I was keen to do. I was asked to produce a slide show of images to accompany Heather singing the beautiful song "The River" by Len Wade. It was a really lovely thing to do and I enjoyed taking some time out from the usual busy schedule to capture the images and put together the slide show. Here are just some of the results.







Thank you for asking me to do this Heather. I am already looking forward to the next one !

I have been very lucky in life in so far as I have enjoyed almost every job that I have done. I say almost as we have all had that grass is greener feeling right ? I made the leap from Children's Nanny to Photography some years ago and I'm so glad I did. When I know that my work has brought happiness to someone that is a very good feeling indeed. Earlier in the year I was at the Dunkeld Art's Fair selling prints and cards. This image "Royal Mile Walk" was very popular. A lady visiting from America wanted to buy several prints but unfortunately I had sold out. Details were exchanged and I was happy to be able to deliver the extra prints to the lady before she left to return home. Some days later she sent me this lovely message :
"Thank you for making the extra effort to deliver the Edinburgh prints to my holiday home. They have now made their way to the US with treasured memories of our meeting in Dunkeld. Many thanks aye,
Sharron.
Many thanks to you Sharron and to all my clients who give me such kind feedback on my work. It means the world to me.
