Dad and son, plus mum and daughter – both very special combinations. We try not to over-pose people, as we’d prefer you to look as natural as possible. So with families we try to do what we call ‘Light Posing’, where we’ll slightly guide you into the position and pose, but we’ll then try and encourage you to ‘own it’, as this family have done here, where they look really natural and comfortable.

Evening photoshoot of a couple in love
Posted onThis first set of photos are amongst our favourites from this photoshoot, where they’re both looking beautifully posed in a natural way.
This second set shows the type of things we then did to get some more informal and fun photos of this couple having a laugh together.
We use this approach as it makes sure our customers have a beautiful set of quality artwork they can hang on their walls. But it means they also have some more informal photos that really show off their character – they often have these displayed in an album.
Male headshots
Posted onHere are some informal male headshots. These were used for various websites and social media profile photos, where we wanted something much more informal than the usual old-fashioned, formal headshot.
Three looks in one photoshoot
Posted onIn these photos we used our professional mobile studio, which allowed us to carry out this photoshoot in someone’s office. We’ve used three different backgrounds here, plus three different changes in clothes. This was a long photoshoot, but it was certainly worth it. We achieved what we set out to do, which was to create a range of very different looks to give us a wide variety of high quality photos.
Studio photoshoot of a young couple
Posted onDuring the same photoshoot we created some quality, contemporary portraits with a modern-looking white background, plus some others that were deliberately darker and more moody-looking against a black background.
Dark and elegant female studio portraits
Posted onThese studio portraits were made to look really dark, elegant and ultra stylish – to finish off this look we used an elegant black dress.
Mum and bump
Posted onIn this studio photoshoot of a pregnant woman her bump was the most important thing that we needed to concentrate on – this was such a special time in her life with her baby-to-be.
A mix of bright and dark photos
Posted onOn this summer’s day the backgrounds in the park were a beautiful vibrant green, which worked really well against the blues of this woman’s outfit. With our professional mobile studio we’re able to make a dark day look like a light one, as well as transform a light summer’s day into a much darker and more moody look. All of these portraits were created on a bright sunny afternoon, in the same place in the park.
A girl with some Christmas fairy lights
Posted onAt Christmas there’s nothing more complicated and natural than getting a young child to hold a set of Christmas fairy lights. As she was playing with the lights, they gave a lovely glow on her face, so by the end we had a great photo that went on the cover of their family Christmas cards.
Daddy’s boy
Posted onThis is a lovely candid photo of a boy staring into his dad’s eyes. It was important here to darken the background as much as possible, so that we concentrate on the boy’s face. It’s a lovely photo that really captures that love between father and son. And it’s so much better without the young boy looking into the camera.
