Great family portrait photos only come from happy children, so we’ll do everything we can to get down to their level and talk to them, as well as encourage them to just be themselves and show us their personalities.

Mum and her son in the studio
Posted onA big bright white background, with mum and her son wearing stronger, dark colours makes for a set of lovely, contemporary family portrait photos that look fabulous as beautiful artwork on the wall.
A toddler wearing cute hats
Posted onWe just ADORE hats – whether they’re on adults, children or babies, they look great and they’re so much fun. We tried two different hats on this young girl during a studio photoshoot with her family – they look fantastic.
A girl wearing a red dress in a field of yellow flowers
Posted onDuring the summer months these fields of yellow rapeseed look fabulous, so for this family photoshoot we suggested a red dress would be a great colour to contrast against the field of bright yellow. Not only does it look great, but we had a lot of fun throughout this photoshoot.
What you can’t see, however, is the small stepladder that we used to get to a higher position than this young girl who was waist-high in the bright yellow flowers, which really made a difference.
A young girl walking through a cornfield
Posted onThis 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 onThere’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.
Simple portraits really are the best
Posted onThe simplest portrait photos are often the best, as is the case here. We wanted a photo that was free of any distractions, with a clear background. This means there’s nothing to distract the viewer’s attention and it lets your eye focus on the person. It’s a lovely natural expression of this young girl.
Informal portraits of a girl in red dress and striped hat
Posted onWe did this photoshoot out in the park, which gave us a chance for some relaxed and fun posing. Although in one of these photos this young girl is looking at the camera, these photos look really natural and are not staged in any way – as you can see she’s looking really comfortable, which makes for some lovely photos.
Christmas angel fancy dress
Posted onChristmas 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.
A girl with some Christmas fairy lights
Posted on
At 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.
