    It was lovely to see Anna, Leon and Theo again recently for some Home Portraits. Anna and Leon were married at Leez priory in March this year and we were their Wedding Photographers.

    Anna got in touch with us again after baby Hugo was born. Anna and Leon wanted some pictures of the four of them at their home on Mersea Island. Absolutely fine with us, that’s what we like as well.

    It was a beautiful morning and Theo was happy playing outside as well as co-operating when it came to take some family pictures. Hugo was a couple of weeks old and was so good. Great to see this lovely family again and we ended up with a nice selection of Home 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.

  • Family and Individual Pictures

    Toni and Russell got in touch with us again in January this year. This time asking us if we could take some Family and Individual Pictures.

    We have known Toni and Russell for some years now being their Wedding Photographers a few years ago at Layer Marney Tower.

    We first met Aliya last year and took some pictures of her and Mum and Dad as well. As everyone knows young children grow up very quickly and capturing stages of their development is nice to look back on.

    An enjoyable time with this lovely family ending up with some nice Family and Individual Pictures.

    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.

    Home Portraits

    Richard got in touch with us last summer enquiring about taking some home portraits of his two children. Ideally the pictures would be taken in their wonderful garden if the weather was fine. Unfortunately, the morning we arranged the heavens opened! No problem, we just set up our lights and used the superb interior of the home for the pictures. This worked really well and we were able to provide Richard with a variety of indoor pictures. We were drawn to the garden because there was such opportunity of some nice pictures to be taken.

    There didn’t seem much hope of us getting out there but we kept peering out the windows just for that break. It came! The rain had not stopped but it had eased off enough for us and and to venture out! Brollies handy, and using the cover of the house at times, props in the garden, we managed to get another set of pictures. So pleased!

    To get this message from Richard certainly made us happy as well.

    Just to say that Jill and I are really pleased with the photos – many thanks for braving the rain and making it work so well!

    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.

    Essex Family Pictures for Claire & Tim

    Essex Family Pictures for Claire & Tim – As always a pleasure to spend the morning with Claire, Tim and their family. Every so often we update their family pictures for them. Our last visit was earlier last year a couple of weeks after their second son, Henry was born. Later on last year we went to see them again together with Tim’s side of the family. Timing was just right at our latest visit as Henry was on the verge of crawling. Moving around but not getting away! Claire and Tim wanted a selection of pictures of the boys on their own as well as some together. Enjoying our time spent with all of them we ended up with some nice pictures. Thank you Noah and Henry!Essex Family Pictures
