Jodie got in touch with us earlier in the year about taking a picture of her Mum’s horse Cobra who was 38 years old! It was to be a surprise present for her Mum! Arrangements were made when there was not a chance that Jodie’s Mum would appear at the stables. Job accomplished!
It was lovely to see Mae and her family again earlier this year. Mae wanted some up to date pictures of her family. It had been a few years since we last took some pictures of them all. A lot of changes! We had a nice time catching up and taking a variety of pictures.
It was lovely to see Kirsty, Matt and their son Brodie for some Outdoor Family Photos.
This was an early autumn morning at Highwoods Country Park, Colchester. We all thought this was a good place to meet especially with Brodie being so active there is the play area as well as a variety of walks.
Timing was good, Brodie had the play area to himself! After a short while we decided to go for a walk. Chatting and laughing as we went we ended up with some lovely pictures.
Kirsty and Matt wanted an acrylic block print to go up in their new home and the product looked fantastic! An enjoyable time was had with this lovely family.
It was nice to see Debbie and Terry again who booked us for a pet portrait using a voucher bought for them.
We last saw them at their son’s Wedding at the Reid Rooms . Terry and Debbie wanted a selection of pictures in their garden of and with Daisy. It was a very hot day when we met up so we used the available shade in the garden. David and I spent an enjoyable time with Debbie and Terry catching up as well as taking all the pictures they wanted.
Daisy was so laid back.
Every few years Rachel gets in touch with us to update her Family Portrait Photography.
Last summer was the latest time this happened. Rachel and Jon were married at the Fennes Estate in 2009.
Not only do we take some pictures of Rachel and Jon’s family we do the same for Rachel’s sister Zoe at the same session!
Rachel, Jon, Isaac and Casper live abroad so when they come back to England they stay with Zoe, her husband, and their children, Grace and Ethan. Over the years we have got to know them all very well.
The weather was fine so all the pictures were taken outside. We had an enjoyable afternoon catching up and taking some nice pictures for them.
Rebecca and Tom got in touch with us in the summer last year asking about some outdoor family pictures. We were their Wedding Photographers at Prested Hall, Feering in 2015.
Rebecca and Tom now had a little boy called Jack and wanted to have some pictures taken of him and a family picture. It was a hot morning when we went to see them at their house to do these pictures.
We used inside for some pictures as well as the garden. The shade of the trees in the garden provide opportunity for the outside pictures. Jack was having fun but not as much as when his cousins arrived!
We had a lovely morning ending up with some great results.
Georgina wanted some Lifestyle family portraits which we love doing. Unfortunately it had been put off twice due to rain, this day it was really windy but Georgina was determined to go ahead! 
It was great to meet up with Charlotte and Paul asked us to do some Outdoor Dog Photography. Charlotte and Paul were married at St Peter’s Church, Great Totham, in 2016. Charlotte and Paul asked us to photograph them with their dog, Indie. We were more than happy to do so.
We met them at Tiptree Heath. Just catching up with our couples is always nice and to do something different for them is equally as nice. Indie is a lively dog but during the time we were there we managed to get some lovely photos of him together with Charlotte and Paul. Good results and a lovely morning spent with a wonderful couple.
Essex Pet Portraits has been keeping us busy over the winter.
We have been photographing many pets, dogs, cats and horses.
Some are older animals which provides the owner with a lasting memory for when the sad but inevitable day arrives.
We love our pets so much, a beautiful canvas or framed print can stay with you forever. Most pets are photographed at or near their owner’s home.
We are offering 10×8 prints at half price, £10 instead of £20 up until Christmas. Prints make an ideal Christmas present so why not take advantage of this special offer!!
