CHILDREN & FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER IN SURREY
My aim as a portrait photographer is simple… to capture natural images of your family that are a true reflection of your personality at a moment in time. My relaxed style works best in the comfort & convenience of your natural environment at home or on location in the familiar surroundings of a favourite place where the children can have a good run around like your local park, playground, beach… It’s your choice.
PHOTO SHOOT DAY
My approach to photographing children is as an observer to create natural images of childhood play, family interaction & special relationships. I like to capture a mix of energetic play time as well as quieter more intimate moments. I recommend your shoot starts in the morning as early after breakfast as possible when everyone has lots of energy & the available natural daylight is usually best. I invest my time with you by only doing one shoot a day so we can take as long as we need although it typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours. I can work around your normal routine & we can take short breaks if required.
ALL WEATHER, ALL SEASONS… ALL FUN!
I find any time of year works well for portraits in all the different weather conditions that we enjoy in the UK. Sunny summer mornings in your garden, playing around in the colourful crisp autumn leaves, wrapped up warm in wellies, hats & scarves to splash in winter puddles & springtime rain showers, playing with favourite toys indoors in the conservatory. Every season provides ever changing natural backdrops for unique portraits echoing the passage of time as your children grow & change so quickly.
MY PRINT RECOMMENDATIONS
I highly recommend black & white images for portraits as they are classic & timeless often producing the most flattering results. Black & white photos do not date & will look just as good in many years to come when your own children have grown up & grandchildren have arrived. By contrast, carefully selected images from your shoot can look exceptional in colour especially if people’s clothing has been thoughtfully co-ordinated. I recommend that I present images to you in black & white and use colour where appropriate.
