    It was nice to see Alexandra again, this time with Joseph, Alexandra and Joseph’s son, together with their niece and nephew.  We photographed Alexandra and Joe’s Wedding at Whittlebury Hall in 2011. Alexandra and Joseph wanted  a few pictures of the children for a christmas present for their Grandad. The request was for the pictures to be with the pets at Old Mac Donald’s Farm, which the family own. Luck was on our side weather wise on the morning when we met them.  All we had to rely on was the children and the pets playing ball! Trying to get children smiling and pets staying still was an interesting challenge – but it worked!

    It was lovely to see Rachel and Dom again for their Children and Family Portraits.  We were their Photographers for their Wedding in 2009 at Woolston Manor Golf Club.  They are now the proud Parents of twin girls, Sophia and Amelia.  We had arranged to meet them early morning in the late Autumn at their house and go for a walk in Epping Forrest.  It was a dry day albeit quite wet under foot! Finding a sheltered place where the girls could just wander about amongst the leaves was not too difficult as Rachel and Dom are surrounded by woods! After a few pictures of Sophia and Amelia on their own, we managed to achieve a few family pictures. On our return to Rachel and Dom’s house the children wanted to play in the garden.  Fine by us! This ended an enjoyable morning!

    We were pleased to hear from Martin and Jess again in September last year telling us their news. They now have a daughter, Evie, and have now moved to Essex. Martin and Jess wanted some pictures of Evie and some up-dated pictures of Charlie, their Son, we couldn’t believe it was in 2010 they were married at Layer Marney Tower and almost a couple of years ago when we last photographed Charlie!  When we arrived at their house, Jess was out picking up Charlie from a birthday party, which gave us some time to take some pictures of Evie. By the time they arrived back we had done this.  After Charlie had told us about how much fun he had at the birthday party, he was more than happy to go outside. Martin and Jess wanted a couple of family pictures taken as well which we were able to achieve in the garden. An enjoyable time spent with a lovely family.

    It was lovely to see Vicki and Sean again, together with their children Owen and Phoebe. We photographed Vicki and Sean’s Wedding at Crabbs Barn in June 2011 and subsequently photographed Owen several times and this was the second time we took Phoebe’s portrait! It is great to keep in contact with previous clients and become friends which Vicki and Sean truly are! The day when we took the latest pictures happened to be Owen’s Birthday, so excitement was rife! What fun we had and what great results! Child portraits are always challenging and usually fun.

    As always it was a lovely to see Lottie, Rich and their two children, Matilda and Imogen to create some more Environmental Family Portraits.

    We photographed Lottie and Rich’s Wedding at Burgh Island, Devon, in 2009.  Since they have had a family we have taken photographs of them at various times.  It was such a lovely morning, Matilda and Imogen were playing in the garden, having fun, with their Parents. Karen and Geoff, their Grandparents were joining in as well! During the time we were there we had the opportunity of taking some relaxed informal pictures of the two girls, capturing their personalities. A morning to remember!

    It was nice to see Nicola again with members of her family, and to meet for the first time Annaliese, her daughter. Updated pictures was the request, since the last time we took some was in 2011. We photographed each child separately, with their sibling and as a group.

    It was lovely to see Katy and Kevin again, we were their Wedding Photographers for their Wedding at Prested Hall, Feering in 2009. Katy and Kevin wanted some pictures of their children and we were more than happy to oblige.  After spending a little time with Isla and Ethan before taking some portraits, we ended up with some nice images of both of them together with a nice family group picture. Although we do have a small studio we prefer visiting clients in their own homes which always seems far more relaxed for children’s or family portraits. In this case the best light was in the kitchen!

    Lisa invited us to take some children’s portraits of Darcy and Freya one afternoon as she wanted a canvas picture as a surprise for the birthday of her husband Paul.  Good fun and some nice images. Lovely to see Lisa again,  we photographed Lisa and Paul’s wedding in 2007 at Gosfield Hall.Childrens Portraits Essex
