A young girl walking through a cornfield

Posted on 13/06/2012

This style of photoshoot was one of our Experience Photoshoots, where we work with a family for a longer period of time. These photoshoots work best in outdoor locations. During one of these Experience Photoshoots we try to blend into the background to capture the very real memories that happen as the family experiences part of their everyday life.

For this photoshoot we went for a walk together in a lovely green nearby cornfield. Although we will do some posed photos, many of the photos from this type of photoshoot are more likely to be candid, informal photos where the family aren’t looking onto the camera.

Having fun during an outdoor family photoshoot

Posted on 24/09/2011

There’s no point in having a photoshoot for children unless they enjoy it – if they don’t, then they won’t look relaxed in the photos. Helping them get comfortable allows us to create some great natural expressions that are so much more natural than they’d have been otherwise. If they start playing around it’s even better as their character naturally shines through – it’s these little things that parents want to remember.

Outdoor family photoshoot in a rural location

A trip into the grounds of a country house near Henley allowed us to create some lovely outdoor portraits. The weather was dry, but quite stormy, which made for a great sky in the background. In our Experience Photoshoots, we always aim to allow time for children to have some fun and to be themselves, as we know the photos will be so much better (and they’ll enjoy themselves so much more).

Bluebells and Winnie the Pooh

Posted on 01/05/2010

Late spring is ‘Bluebell Time’ in the woods, so on one fine spring day we did a family photoshoot in a field of beautiful bluebells. We could have set up this photos in a more staged way, but instead we thought the addition of Winnie the Pooh was a great idea, as it was this young girl’s favourite toy at this stage of her life. Every time her parents look back at this photo over the years to come it will bring back all of those memories of that time in their lives and what their daughter was like at that time.

Ain’t misbehavin’!

This photoshoot was lots of fun, as this young lady wanted to make everyone else laugh. While not all of these photos are the type you’d hang on your wall, they’re lovely in a family album, as they all capture that sparkle in someone’s personality that everyone adores as she entertains them.

What we’ve done here is to really capture her character and bring out her mischievousness – it’s difficult to get children’s to trust you enough to do this but it’s one of those things we’re really good at – being able to get children to relax in our company and to really be themselves.

Location portraits of a young girl

Posted on 01/08/2008

We travelled to the grounds of West Wycombe Park to take some outdoor portrait photos in the grounds and gardens. We knew this location would provide a lush green background for the photos, so we suggested complementary pinks and blues for the clothes, which work well together against the surrounding greens.

Natural outdoor family portrait of a group of cousins

Posted on 08/09/2007

This was an outdoor portrait session of a group of cousins together. They didn’t often meet as a group, so the parents wanted a photo that caught them all together, but in a setting that was as natural as possible. We went to a nearby field and got them to fool around for a few minutes until they were feeling right at home in front of the camera.

Young girl with a daisy

Posted on 30/08/2007

A trip to Hughenden Park in High Wycombe in the summer proved to be the ideal location to get some good informal photos of a young girl exploring the outdoors. These two photos show her fascination with something as simple as a daisy in the field, as she explores the new things around her in nature.
