I had an amazing portrait shoot at the weekend with Emily and Abbie. When I arrived I was greeted by two excited girls and arms full of outfits! We started the session by rummaging through wardrobes and drawers, trying on hats and shoes and finding accessories, the girls had a great time! We had already chosen 3 locations for the photographs all within a few minutes of their home, so of we went. The weather forecast was terrible but the rain held off and we captured some amazing images. We laughed a lot and the girls quickly relaxed and became comfortable in front of the camera. They can’t wait to see their pictures so here we are.
I love the texture on this wall, it makes a brilliant backdrop for a portrait. Why have a boring white background when you’re surrounded by stunning colours and amazing lighting everyday.
When I saw all the bright green moss on the steps we changed Emily into the red dress and wow the colours were just stunning. I love little sets of images that tell a story, perfect for a multi frame.
Abbie is seven and at the stage where her teeth are falling out, I love it! As a mum I want to remember every stage my kids go through, all their funny faces and mardy moments, it’s these things that make the best images, full of character and personality.
Our 3rd location was at a farm and when I saw Chocolate peeping under the door I couldn’t resist a quick picture!
Two of my favourite images. The girls were just so relaxed and smiley throughout the shoot that sometimes I had to tell them not to smile!! Taking portrait photographs in a natural environment just works so well for children, they can play and explore giving you a mixture of naturally posed shots and candid moments reflecting their characters perfectly. The best thing about these shoots is the images you receive are unique, no two sessions are ever the same.
Portrait sessions cost £75 for the shoot. This covers the photographers time and skills. You can choose any products you like from contemporary frames and acrylics, canvas wraps and portrait albums. Our most popular choice is our digital package costing £200. This gives you Hi-res digital images on CD with a full print license.
