  • Environmental Family Pictures

    Environmental Family Pictures was our job when we met up with Martin, Jess, Charlie and Evie during last year. Martin and Jess were married at Layer Marney Tower in 2010. Since then we have met up with them several times, including family pictures and Birthday Parties.

    Today, up to date pictures of the family were required out and about. It was a lovely day in September we chose to take these pictures. Danbury Lakes provides various opportunities to take pictures. It has lots of areas available for different pictures.

    We spent a lovely time catching up with this lovely family and creating their Environmental Family Pictures. We are looking forward to seeing them again soon.

  • Environmental Family Pictures Epping Forest

    Marieka got in touch with us in July regarding Environmental family pictures Epping Forest photoshoot. This we could do within the guidelines of Covid-19, social distancing of course.

    Marieka suggested an afternoon in Epping Forest which was a good idea. We have used the area several times, it’s so vast and you can find quieter spots. The weather was good for us on the afternoon for the pictures. Warm and sunny, although we chose the more sheltered areas for the pictures.

    Marieka and Richie had not had many photos of them with Leo, their 18 month old son. Now was the time they wanted some taken. Leo had been asleep in the car. We had a little walk and found a quiet spot so he could wake up properly. Time is no problem to us when this happens. We are more than willing to take more time to get the right pictures.

    We had a nice afternoon and ended up with a variety of pictures for Marieka and Richie to choose from.

    We were really happy with the Environmental Family Pictures Epping Forest, so was Marieka and Richie. See their review on Facebook!

  • Home Portraits

    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.

  • Family 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.

  • Baby & Family Portraits

    What a lovely enjoyable afternoon we had with Catherine, Jamie, Stanley and Lucinda a few weeks ago making their Baby & Family Portraits!

    Lockdown Delay

    Catherine and Jamies wanted some pictures taken of their two children as well as some family pictures. Originally this was arranged a couple of months ago but ‘lockdown’ put paid to that! The weather on this particular afternoon was just right, not too hot and a breeze. We went for a walk not far from where we live and found a secluded area off the main footpath for the pictures.

    The trees gave us shade as well as providing a nice backdrop. Stanley’s pictures were mostly on the move! No problem! Lucinda’s pictures on the other hand were the opposite! Being eight months old, Lucinda was crawling but enjoyed sitting on the blanket with her toys or just watching what was going on.

    A Nice Selection

    Catherine and Jamie ended up with a great selection of Baby & Family Portraits taken during the afternoon. They were really pleased and so were we!

  • Family Pictures

    Family pictures was our first job when restrictions were lifted due to Covid-19! We were allowed to take environmental photo shoots observing social distancing. What a lovely family to be our first clients!

    Pictures in the back garden

    We had met Laura and David before when we visited them a few years ago when their daughter Amber was born. Now they had a new addition to the family, Meghan. It was a lovely morning when we met up and it was decided to use their garden as the backdrop to the pictures. We took a variety of pictures, family group pictures and individuals. Meghan was fine throughout the time, sleeping mostly! Amber was quite happy outside, playing with her toys in between some pictures. We had an enjoyable time, keeping your distance worked, although it did feel rather odd as contact in our line of work helps. Still, we managed it and ended up with a nice selection of pictures for the family.

    Lovely to actually get back working again and happy that we are able to take pictures within the restrictions.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.
