  • New Family Portrait

    A new family portrait for the Pepper family! Always great to meet families again after a few years. Starting with Tina & Stuart’s wedding at Layer Marney back in 2004. We have seen them a few times to update.

    This main reason this time was a special birthday for Tina’s Mum.

    We took a number of different combinations of the formal and some of the more relaxed style.

    Getting teenagers to relax and have fun is not always easy but the girls were great fun.

    We made a range of prints in colour and black & white for their frames.

    Maybe it’s time for a new family portrait for your family?

    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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Outdoor Family Photos for Kirsty & Matt

    Outdoor Family Photos for Kirsty & Matt

    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.

    Family Pictures for Alison & Nathan

    It was lovely to see Alison and Nathan again a few months ago for some new family pictures.

    Every now and then we go to see them to update their family pictures which we love doing. Elodie, who is nearly 4, had some pictures taken of her on her own while her brother Rupert was asleep. Elodie enjoyed showing what she can now do and showing us her favourite things. During this time Rupert, who is just one year old. woke up and gradually joined in. Getting the two of them together was tricky but we got there in the end! A lovely afternoon and nice to catch up with a nice family.
