As is often the case, we’ll usually let very young children play around first, so they get used to what we’re doing. This often leads into something approaching a game, which they enjoy. On this occasion we found I had a little ‘helper’ who wanted to assist us in taking the photos. This approach helps children relax and get used to what’s going on – that way we’ll create a set of lovely studio portrait photos.

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.
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.
Little Miss Santa
Posted onUse a Santa fancy dress costume for a toddler at Christmas and you can be sure the occasion will not be a quiet one. However, it was great fun as everyone was filled with festive spirit. These photos went on to become a family Christmas card for friends and relatives.
Halloween fancy dress
Posted onAs Halloween approached we were asked to take some themed, seasonal portrait photos of a young girl wearing halloween-themed fancy dress. The pumpkin is a great accessory, as it says ‘Halloween’ immediately.
Although the Christmas photoshoot is the most common seasonal photoshoot, we’re beginning to find we find more families are choosing to have a Halloween Photoshoot. Now that Halloween has become so much more popular over recent years, families are keen to create some lasting Halloween memories with their children.
Balls!
Posted onProps are always great to have in photos. On this occasion a ball pit became really useful to add some variety.
Toddler studio portrait session
Posted onToddlers love having things to play with – this time we used some red balls, which proved a big hit, as they kept her attention for a long time. Of course, her teddy came along to help out too, which looks so sweet. These would look fabulous in black frames hanging on a wall.
