The witch had a cat and a very tall hat and long Ginger hair, which she wore in a plat. For those of us with kids, there is a good chance you know this story and for a long time, it has been a favourite of my eldest daughter Grace. So much so that for a long time I could …
Somerset Business Awards Results
Last night was the Somerset Business Awards which were held in Taunton and what a fantastic night it was! The black tie event was hosted by the Somerset Chamber of Commerce and attended by over 300 people from all over the county including my wife and I. This meant dusting off the old kilt and exposing my knees to the …
Lemon Babies coming soon to the Wells Food Festival
I am delighted to say that my award winning Lemon Babies project will be a part of the Wells Food Festival this coming weekend. This brings with it a couple of firsts for Lemon Babies. Along with this being the first (and probably only) time it has taken place outside of the studio, it will also be the first ever weekend day the …
Somerset Business Awards 2015 – Finalist
Being notified that I’m a finalist in the Somerset Business Awards 2015 was a real honour and privilege. Over the last 2 years, I’ve been extremely lucky to have my photography awarded many times by some great organisations but this is the first time I’ve been recognised for the business side of things. The Somerset Business Awards 2015 is in …

The Lemon Babies Portrait Project
One of the fantastic projects I do at Made Portraits is the incredibly fun and unique Lemon Babies. When my daughter Grace was a baby and tried raspberries for the first time, the result was a highly-amusing 5-minute video filled with amazing expressions. My wife and I always regretted that we didn’t take any photos of this so we could have hung …
Made Portraits – What to expect in 2015?
With it now being 2015, I’m very excited to get started with what is going to be another amazing year. The Made Portraits studio opened on the 30th of January 2013 and has slowly but surely established itself as one of the best family portrait studios in Somerset. But how can we say that? 76 Photographic Awards since the studio opened, …
Award Winning Photographer
I often state that I’m an Award Winning Photographer on the website, Facebook and some marketing materials. I don’t do this to blow my own trumpet or for some form of ego trip! It’s simply reassurance for anyone that is considering using me for their family portraits, their wedding photography or for their commercial work. At the end of 2013, I was …
Neil Bremner – Now an ASWPP Qualified Photographer
I am officially an ASWPP Qualified Photographer! I like the sound of that. What a way to end 2014! I have just found out from the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers that I am now an ‘Associate’ member. This is a qualification held by only a small percentage of Society members ( I understand it’s less than 10%) and I achieved …
Coming up with Movember Portrait Ideas
Coming up with a variety of Movember Portrait ideas the last two years was hard. I thought I would take you Behind the Scenes of Movember Portraits 2014, explain a little about my motivation, where I get the ideas and show you how some of the shots were achieved. 2013 saw the launch of my very first photography project, ‘Movember Portraits’. During …
