Christmas card time, so an angel fancy dress costume worked well as the cover for some personalised family Christmas cards for this year. Children love fancy dress, as they like acting out who they’re dressed up as and on this occasion it was no exception as the ‘little angel’ loved acting as an angel.

Halloween photoshoot dressed as a witch
Posted onAs Halloween approached we did a studio portrait session while wearing a fancy dress witch’s costume. Although we did create some posed photos, we most-enjoyed the informal photos where this young girl was allowed to play with her witch’s costume and to just be herself. It gave us the opportunity for lots of cackling and role-playing that everyone enjoyed.
Candy-striped pink studio portrait
Posted onA few props or accessories can go a long way with children during a photoshoot, so please do bring some along if you feel they’d help.
In this studio family photoshoot we allowed extra time for this young girl to play around and experiment a little, which gave us some great additional photos. Wearing candy-stripe pink gave a good contrast against the white background for these portraits.
Christmas studio portrait
Posted onChristmas is coming and it’s time to get the family Christmas cards printed, so time for a fabulous studio portrait session to get a range of great festive photos for the family and friends to see. Amazing how a Santa’s hat and some tinsel adds that festive touch. We encouraged this young lady to bring along her favourite teddy on this occasion, as it allowed her to dress him up and offer us even more lovely family photos of her having a lovely relaxing time.
Time for some fun exercises in the studio
Posted onHere are some energetic moments in the studio – when a young child’s attention starts to wander, it’s time to get them to do something fun so they don’t feel they’re always being told what to do, which isn’t fun for anyone (adults included!).
We always try to give enough time for these unplanned moments to happen. Yes of course these aren’t the photos you’d hang on your wall (we had plenty of others for that purpose), but they’re definitely the photos you’d want in an album after the photoshoot as a record of what your child was at that stage of your life. We find parents love these extra, super-informal photos in their albums.
Portraits of a young girl and her doll
Posted onPretty pastel-striped clothes for a bright and contemporary-looking family photoshoot in the studio with a white background. Bringing along a favourite toy, and having it feature in some of the photos, has the dual purpose of providing some lovely ‘special moments’, but it also helps a child to relax and feel more comfortable, especially if we’re doing the photoshoot away from their home.
Fun times in a studio photoshoot
Posted onIn this family photoshoot we wanted to create an environment for lovely smiles and laughter for some really endearing photos. Unsurprisingly ‘Little Miss Mischief’ was around at the start, which we’d already allowed for, knowing how young children would rather just play around than have their photograph taken.
Lucky her mum also wanted to take part in ‘the game’ that took place, so we were able to create some lovely informal photos to go in the family album.
A girl playing with a balloon
Posted onWe started off with everyone in a good mood, so the great photos kept on coming. All was going really well, as you can see in the first photo, with happy smiling faces all around. That was, however, until the balloon popped, which was closely followed by the tears.
Although the second photo with the tears isn’t a ‘display’ photo, it’s one of those very special memories that you rarely catch in a photo and will be a cherished memory in a family album.
First birthday studio photoshoot
Posted onThis was a studio photoshoot on a young girl’s first birthday. For the first part of the session we got everyone relaxed by messing around a little bit. The aim wasn’t to get any great photos, but to put everyone at ease to make the later ‘proper’ photos work out much better.
Although ‘Miss Small Person’ tried her best to pop the balloon with her finger nails, we eventually managed to create some beautiful photos of this first birthday celebration.
Beautiful photos of a young girl
Posted onThese beautiful photos of a young girl were part of a studio portrait session. Both of these photos capture the lovely cheekiness snd cuteness of this young girl during this photoshoot in the studio. The first of these two was enlarged and displayed as wall art in their living room for several years for all to see.
