  • CHRISTENING PHOTOGRAPHY

    Great to see this wonderful family again! This time for the Christening Photography of Charlotte and Paul’s youngest son, Theo. We met them at St Peter’s Church a little while before the start of the service , took a few pictures as they arrived.

    Theo was extremely good during the service, although preferred to put his hand over his face when it was time to get wet!

    We captured a few pictures during the service and afterwards outside a few family pictures.

    A little while later we left to go to Rivenhall Golf Club, Witham, where we took a few requested pictures together with some informal pictures, during lunch.

    Thank you Charlotte and Paul for asking us to carry out the Christening photography of Theo. You have a lovely family and it was a pleasure to be part of Theo’s special day. David and I look forward to the next event!

    Do contact us if you wish cover for a similar event.

  • First Holy Communion

    We recently covered the First Holy Communion for twelve local families.

    We discreetly photographed each child as they received the First Communion and then afterwards we took individual and family group photographs.

    Each family received a set of prints and digital files.

  • Outdoor Pictures at Danbury Lakes

    Outdoor Pictures at Danbury Lakes was our venue and meeting place to see Victoria, Lee and Hudson towards the the end of last year. David and I were their Wedding Photographers at their Wedding at Crabbs Barn, Kelvedon, in 2015.

    Since then we have photographed their son, Hudson, and took pictures of their extended family for a present for Victoria’s Mum. It was great, not only did we take a variety of pictures, we all enjoyed ourselves, and caught up on all the news.

    Hudson is a lovely little boy (Mum and Dad are very nice too!). Congratulations to Victoria and Lee on the news of an addition to your family soon. Looking forward to seeing you all again in the next few months. The Outdoor Pictures at Danbury Lakes worked well!

  • Family Portraits

    It was a lovely morning when we met Stewart, Connie and the children for some family portraits.

    Outdoor Location

    We had arranged to meet them early in morning at Beeleigh Weir, Maldon. Our aim was to take some pictures of them all before it became too busy. Good timing, we knew it was going to be a nice day and this setting attracts lots of people.

    Pandemic Family Portraits!

    Covid Restrictions had been lifted a little, therefore more people were about. Meeting in the car park we then went for a walk. We had researched the location and knew what we wanted to do, and the spots we wanted to utilise.

    Social Distancing

    Use of a longer focal length lens is aways and advantage for this type of work making Social Distancing no problem.

    Stewart and Connie wanted family portraits as well as individuals of the children, Jackson, Victoria and Albert. The three children together proved to be the trickiest but we managed it! Thanks Jackson for your help!

    Stewart and Connie ended up with a variety of pictures from an enjoyable morning spent with a lovely family.

  • Baby & Family Portraits

    What a lovely enjoyable afternoon we had with Catherine, Jamie, Stanley and Lucinda a few weeks ago making their Baby & Family Portraits!

    Lockdown Delay

    Catherine and Jamies wanted some pictures taken of their two children as well as some family pictures. Originally this was arranged a couple of months ago but ‘lockdown’ put paid to that! The weather on this particular afternoon was just right, not too hot and a breeze. We went for a walk not far from where we live and found a secluded area off the main footpath for the pictures.

    The trees gave us shade as well as providing a nice backdrop. Stanley’s pictures were mostly on the move! No problem! Lucinda’s pictures on the other hand were the opposite! Being eight months old, Lucinda was crawling but enjoyed sitting on the blanket with her toys or just watching what was going on.

    A Nice Selection

    Catherine and Jamie ended up with a great selection of Baby & Family Portraits taken during the afternoon. They were really pleased and so were we!

  • Family Pictures

    Family pictures was our first job when restrictions were lifted due to Covid-19! We were allowed to take environmental photo shoots observing social distancing. What a lovely family to be our first clients!

    Pictures in the back garden

    We had met Laura and David before when we visited them a few years ago when their daughter Amber was born. Now they had a new addition to the family, Meghan. It was a lovely morning when we met up and it was decided to use their garden as the backdrop to the pictures. We took a variety of pictures, family group pictures and individuals. Meghan was fine throughout the time, sleeping mostly! Amber was quite happy outside, playing with her toys in between some pictures. We had an enjoyable time, keeping your distance worked, although it did feel rather odd as contact in our line of work helps. Still, we managed it and ended up with a nice selection of pictures for the family.

    Lovely to actually get back working again and happy that we are able to take pictures within the restrictions.

  • Childrens' Pictures

    It was lovely to see Jo again with her sons, Toby and Dylan. Jo wanted some up to date chlidren’s pictures. Arranging a convenient time we went over to her house. Spending time with families makes all the difference when we are asked to take pictures.

    When we arrived Toby was not at all pleased to see us, whereas Dylan was fine. It was role reversal by the time we had finished, Toby wanted us to stay and Dylan was tired! So pleased we were able to provide some lovely pictures to add to their collection. Lovely catching up with Jo and her family as well.

  • Family Photography

    Jeanette and Ben used one of our Gift Vouchers to enable them to have Family Photography of their children.

    Mobile Studio

    We went to their home one morning in September last year to take these pictures. Indoor pictures were the order of the day as their children, Joseph and Samuel were young. We set up a background, and as usual there is no time limit when we have these sessions, so we can build up a rapport with the children. The family had not had the best night’s sleep so we had our fingers crossed that we would get some pictures. In fact, all was fine, Mummy and Daddy joined their children for a few pictures as well. A good morning of Family Photography!

  • Outdoor Family Portraits

    It was lovely to see Nathan and Alison again to take some Outdoor Family Portraits. We arranged to meet at Pods Wood, Tiptree, one afternoon. It was a nice day and going for an enjoyable walk around the wood with Elodie and Rupert.

    Talking was constant as we caught up with all the goings on within the family, whilst taking pictures as well. Environmental shoots are great, relaxing, and we always end up with a nice selection of pictures. Today was no exception. Looking forward to next time.

    Fenia got in touch with us in the summer last year regarding taking some Family Portraits. These were to be of her son and other members of the family. One morning we went to their home and achieved some nice Family Portraits for them.
