It was so nice to see Nick and Cara again in the Spring last year especially as we could meet their son, Havey, for the first time and create them some Baby and Family Portraiture.
We had heard all about Havey so it was lovely to finally see him. Nick and Cara live in Australia so we me up with them whilst they were visiting family and friends in the UK. From the moment we first set eyes on Havey, he just smiled! So easy to take pictures of and he was happy to oblige!
Springtime Outdoor Family Portraits for Debbie, Brian and their family.
We were the Wedding Photographers for Rob and Nicola’s Wedding at Prested Hall, Feering. We have also know the family for a number of years. Some updated family pictures were required, which happens with most families as they become extended. Earlier in the morning it looked like the rain was not going away but at the time of meeting up it had stopped. It was just as well as Debbie and Brian wanted the pictures outside!
We went for a short walk, finding the area where we knew would be suitable for the pictures. Debbie and Brian ended up with a great variety of family pictures which they were pleased with and so were we.
The classic family “all walk together” picture worked once again! Another good set of Outdoor Family Portraits.
It was great to meet up again with Toni and Russ for some Home Family Portraits. We were their Wedding Photographers at their Wedding at Layer Marney Tower a few years ago.
Toni and Russ got in touch with us regarding taking some pictures of their Daughter, Aliya, who was five months old at the time. Arranging a convenient date and time we went to their home. Aliya was fine for some pictures of her by herself and was happy to have some taken with Mum and Dad too! A lovely time spent achieving some nice images.
It was nice to see Nick, Deborah, Edward and Jessica again when they requested some Family Group Portraits. We have taken various pictures of them and other family members over the last few years. This time was at Nick’s parents’ house where Nick was with his family and his sister was with hers, together with their Parents.
On the morning spending time with the children and not being rushed was the key to getting the Family Group Portraits. We had time to catch up as well!
Pictures achieved, time for them all to go out for Sunday Lunch!
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 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.
It was lovely to see Katie and Howard again for a Family picture session. The last time was when their daughter, Amelie , was only a few days old. This time Katie and Howard together with members of the family wanted a four generation picture together as well as a few other pictures including just the children.
It was lovely to hear from Donna and Sam again last year asking us if we could take some Home Family Photos for them. Donna and Sam were married in 2015 at Hintlesham Hall, Suffolk. Now they have a son, called Arthur. We went to their home to take the pictures. Arthur was good and loved having his pictures taken a.k.a. playing!!. He did keep us working hard though, as he liked to be on the move. Despite that we took some lovely family pictures and of Arthur alone. He did stay still at some moments! We provided a mixture of colour, and black & white, our favourites are the B&W ones.
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!
Out of the blue in the Autumn last year we received a phone call from Val who wanted some Environmental Portraits. We last saw Val about eight years ago. We first met Val and Matt a few years prior to that when we too pictures of their first son Jake. Again for their son Oli and then again for their daughter Lexi!
Our conversation lasted a long time catching up on their lives since their return to the UK! Val and Matt’s family had now increased by three! Val and Matt wanted some informal environmental pictures taken of their family. A date and day was chosen and how lucky we were with the weather. We couldn’t of asked for a better Autumn day.
Off to the park we went! What a time we had, ending up with a variety of pictures. It was great to meet Sam and the twins, Frankie and Ben for the first time and as well as seeing the rest of the family. It was a privilege to provide Val and Matt with a book of the memories of their family.
