    Rebecca got in touch with us a couple of months ago with regard to having some Home Family Portraits taken of her son, Ben,  together with her husband Steve and herself at their home.  Rebecca had been given one of our Gift Vouchers and now wanted to use it. Finding a convenient time and place to suit us all we went to Rebecca and Steve’s home one morning. We were able to take some pictures outside as well as inside providing Rebecca with a variety. Ben did very well but by the end he was ready for his sleep!

    Family Pictures with the New Baby

    It was lovely to hear from Alice and Peter again recently. We photographed their Church and Marquee Wedding in Tolleshunt D’Arcy last year and that was when we last saw them. Now they are the proud parents of Imogen! Alice and Peter wanted some pictures of Imogen as well as a couple of family pictures. We arranged to meet at their house one morning and were joined by Alice’s sister-in-law with her son, Rupert. Both Imogen and Rupert were good and after taking a few pictures of them individually we managed to capture a couple of pictures of them together. We took a few family pictures for Alice and Peter inside and then stepped outside.  The plan was to take a few outside but although it was dry and bright, the wind was blowing and it was quite chilly.  We worked quickly and made do with taking a couple of pictures as it was such a wonderful setting but we are looking forward to returning when Imogen is a bit older to take some more.

    It was nice to hear from David again when he got in touch with us earlier on in the year.  We couldn’t believe how quickly time had flown as the last time we saw Claire and David was when we photographed Zak and Daisy, which was almost five years ago.  Claire and David now have another addition to their Family, Milo. David wanted the some family pictures as a surprise for Claire.  Arrangements were made to meet at Danbury Country Park one afternoon over the weekend. This worked really well, the weather for the time of year was good and it was a dry afternoon, just right for pictures outside. Danbury Lakes makes a nice setting for family pictures with plenty of props if wanted. We had a lovely time and ended up with some nice relaxed pictures.

    At the end of last year we had a call from Louise enquiring about some family pictures. Louise had been recommended to us by her friend Sarah whose Wedding we photographed at Prested Hall in 2011  and have taken her family pictures in the last few years. We went to the family home one morning and after chatting and getting to know Louise, Paul, Isobel and Jack, we got on with taking some pictures.  It all turned out well and we ended up with some nice Essex Family Pictures.

    Environmental Family Portraits Epping Forest

    We love Family Portraits especially Environmental Family Portraits Epping Forest! It was lovely for us when Judith and Cameron got in touch with us in December last year to arrange getting together for family pictures. Judith and Cameron were married at Fennes in 2012 and we have seen them since at their friend’s Wedding. Now Judith and Cameron have a son, Robert who is one year old. They wanted to have a few pictures taken of them as a family as well as some pictures of Robert. We met them at their home and took a couple of pictures of Robert before we went out. Epping Forest was close by and we knew it would work well. It was a dry day and the mist was lifting, giving a nice look to the pictures. We all had a fun time and we achieved some great results.

    Victoria and Lee got in touch with us at the end of November last year about having New Family Photography with their soon to be born baby. We arranged a few dates that we all could do and just waited for the call. The call came a couple of weeks later to say they now had a baby boy called Hudson, so we visited them one morning at their home. Hudson slept through some of the pictures but then much to the delight of us all he opened his eyes. Lovely to meet you Hudson! We are now looking forward to seeing this delightful family again in the next few months.

    We were delighted to be asked by Hannah and Craig to take some Family and Baby Portraits. We have known Hannah and Craig for a few years now, having been their Wedding Photographers at their Wedding at Crabbs Barn in 2014. We have seen them at various times since then at various Weddings they have attended and we have been there. Hannah and Craig have recommended us several times for Weddings. Today, was all about their family. Sophia, their daughter, was three months old, and they wanted some pictures of her, as well as some family pictures.

    Louise made contact with us in the Autumn last year enquiring about some family portraits. Louise and other members of her family wanted some pictures taken in an outside environment for Mum’s Birthday. Danbury Lakes was the choice of venue and a lovely one to pick. We all had our fingers crossed for the day!  As we left home to go to Danbury Lakes it was raining but a few miles down the road, sunshine!  The afternoon turned out to be one of the best! The weather was fine,  we walked around the Lakes stopping every now and then to take a selection of different pictures.  It all worked well! It was lovely to hear from Louise again, we photographed her Wedding to Kevin in 2005 at Three Rivers Golf and Country Club and then photographed them with their daughter a few years later. It was also nice to see Kelly and Daniel again as we photographed their Wedding in 2011 at Stock Brook Manor.

    We met Christina and Paul one afternoon in Highwoods Country Park, Colchester. This was for their pre-wedding photo session but also including their sons. When children are involved it is always good to meet them ahead of the big day as well as the happy couple!  Highwoods Country Park is good for any type of outdoor pictures with places to walk, sit and lean.  We walked and talked about the wedding for a little while before taking a few pictures. Christina and Paul’s Wedding is at Smeetham Hall Barn, Bulmer.

    In the Autumn last year we photographed Chloe, Simon and Jayden. They had purchased a gift voucher from us and now wanted some outdoor family photos. Chloe and Simon wanted some pictures of  Jayden on his own as it was his Birthday.  We located a suitable wooded area not far from where they live in Braintree so we went there to take the pictures. What a good choice!  It was early morning, no-one around, a dry day and leaves galore!  A lovely family and some nice pictures.
