  • Family Pictures

    It was great to meet up with Josie and her family earlier in the year for some Family Pictures. We had tried before but as some of her family were coming from further away the weather prevented them on that particular day from getting into Essex. This agreed date was fine.

    Selection of Pictures

    Josie wanted a selection of pictures taken of her family and as it is hard to get everyone together, this date proved to be one everyone could do. As there were quite a number of them, Josie managed to acquire a room in her local Church for taking the pictures.

    Portable Studio

    This was ideal for us, we just brought along the backdrop required and our lights. A variety of pictures were wanted with ones of the dog as well! No problem. It was a nice afternoon taking these pictures for a lovely family, ending up with some nice pictures. Thank you to Josie for getting everyone together.

  • Environmental Family Pictures

    Bethany got in touch with us in the Autumn last year regarding taking some outdoor Environmental Family Pictures.

    A date and location was arranged with fingers crossed for the weather! On the set afternoon, the weather was fine. Autumn is such a lovely time of year to have outside pictures taken.

    Our location was Tiptree Heath. The trees were changing colour and dropping their leaves, making a lovely backdrop. The children were happy to wander along and we made use of the natural props around to take some pictures. A nice set of family pictures taken, groups and individuals.

    It was lovely to see Emma, David and Luca again. This time we were looking forward to meeting the newest member of the family, Enzo, as well . Emma and David wanted to up date their family pictures and asked us to do so. We went to their home one afternoon to take the pictures.

    The last time we had seen Luca was a few years ago, when he was a baby. A proper little boy now and full of beans! He definitely wanted pictures of him in his Spiderman outfit and we were happy to oblige! A nice afternoon spent with this lovely family. We captured some family pictures as well as individual pictures of the boys.

  • Family Portrait

    It was nice when Paul got in touch with us again towards the end of last year for an updated Family Portrait.

    Paul’s Mum and Dad wanted to up date the canvas picture they had of their three sons. We had taken the previous one 10 years ago! Paul and his Brothers came to us to have their picture taken.

    We kept the arrangement the same aspreviously. The picture was done in next to no time.

    The Family Portrait they chose was printed on canvas and framed in a virtually identical frame.

    Hopefully we’ll be able to do another update in 10 years time!

  • Environmental Family Portraiture

    Environmental Family Portraiture in a Country Park.

    Trying to get everyone together for a little time is always a task and for this session it was the same.

    The weather just about held although a touch dim and damp at the time we took to do the pictures.

    Gail and Fiona wanted to provide an updated picture of all of them for their Mum and Dad as a present for Christmas as well as a few other pictures.

    Country Park Photography

    Meeting outdoors was the obvious choice and Clare Country Park was our agreed place. It was great to see, catch up, walk, talk and take some pictures and ending up with a good selection of formal and informal pictures to choose from.

    With a wide range of ages and children who took a litte cajooling, we didn’t do too bad Environmental Family Portraiture! A big thank you to all of them!

  • 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.

    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.

    We were delighted to be asked again by Joan and Dave to update their Family portraits. Over the years the family has extended and from time to time we have taken pictures for them. We have known this wonderful family from when we took Sam and Mike’s Wedding pictures at Crabbs Barn in 2012. Deciding the best place to get everyone together this time was at Mum and Dad’s house. One afternoon in the summer last year we arranged to go to them.

    Family portraits

    Garden pictures were what they wanted and the easiest to do and fortunately the weather was spot on. Dry and warm! Various family pictures as well as a few informal pictures were taken. So nice to meet Max for the first time, Sam and Mike’s son and to see again Rosie, their daughter. Catching up with Stacey and Chris again was nice as well, meeting again and seeing Chase for the first time.

    In all a very enjoyable afternoon was had by all and some nice relaxed family portraits.
