Take Five Interview . Lulu Locket Photography

 

Hello I'm Lulu from Lulu Locket Photography.
Yes that's me on the left with my swirly hair band (which I have now lost, sigh!) 

OK, first thing's first ..... the lowdown on Lulu

I am a wife and a mummy to a beautiful little girl (if I don't say so myself!)

working in the Hampshire/Surrey region.

I have a fledgling photography business specialising in families,

portraits, vintage/retro shoots and the odd wedding for very special people!

I just love photographing, so much so that I am barely without my camera these days -
it is literally attached to my hip!

One of my favourite subjects is my daughter Imogen Grace,
who has been photographed literally since the moment she popped out!

 

See - What is the most inspirational thing you have seen this month ? 

 

Well that would have to be the moment my 4 month old baby girl rolled over for the first time,
oh and when she finally finished her pumpkin puree!
You see it's the little victories in life!

Hear - Tell us about a new tune/artist that you will be listening to throughout 2011 

I adore Lana Del Ray like many people out there right now
as well as Christina Perri and her very large 'Jar of Hearts'.
Jewel is an all time love affair for me, been listening to her since a nipper!

Taste - Do you have any yummy recipes or food must haves you wish to tell us about ?

 

Yes I do in fact!
Mary Berry's flapjack recipe!
My goodness, this is pure heaven in a flapjack!
Devilishly sweet and bad for the waistline but what the heck!

Flapjack recipe by Mary Berry mmmh!

 

225g (8oz) margerine
225g (8oz) demerara sugar
75g (3oz) golden syrup
275g (10oz) rolled oats.
method
grease 2, 8 inch tins (20cm)

put margerine, sugar and golden syrup into a medium saucepan
and heat gently untill the margerine is melted and the butter is dissolved.
remove from the heat and stir in the oats.
press firmly into the greased tins. press down with a sppon to level the surface.
cook for 30 mins at 160 degrees/325 F/ gas mark 3.
cook untill just golden brown, do not over bake or they will be hard.
when cooked, loosen the edge of the flap jack around the tin
and leave to cool for 10 mins.
then cut and cool on wire racks.

What is your favourite smell this month ? 

My Favourite smell this month is 'Eau de Senteur' by Nivea for babies!

I used to wear a lot of perfume before I fell pregnant,
but since giving birth I can't quite handle the strength of most perfumes!
This is such a mild gloriously scented water which I spray on my arms and neck -
t'is very refreshing!

Touch - What home interior updates do you have planned this year ?

 

I wish I could say I have interior design plans this year, but alas no!
Not until we move out of our little Victorian house and into our first family home
somewhere in Hampshire.
Imagine a lovely terraced property with a small garden, apple trees
and a lovely old English country kitchen and you have my dream house!
If you want to see how I would deck out the interior of my house with fabrics and furniture
then look no further than this little gem of a shop in Alton .....

Ernest and Matilda, my heaven!
