How
I work:
My
aim
To create beautiful, simple, natural photographs of you and your children.
Where
and How
I almost always work with families in their homes. Children feel more
comfortable and relaxed in familiar surroundings making the experience
informal and, above all, enjoyable. For larger groups the studio may
be more suitable. Location shoots, perhaps in the park, are also an
option.
I
usuallly split the session in two. First, a series of 'studio' shots
in front of a black background and a further series in suitable locations
around the home/garden/park or common. This way you get the best of
both worlds...the 'clean', classic photographs against a plain background
and the personalised, casual, 'reportage style' photographs set in the
family home.
I
avoid unnatural and uncomfortable poses. My photography is all about
capturing the personality of your children and your relationship with
them. Smiles, laughter, energy, fun, spontaneity.
The
average session takes about 60-90 mins.
Most
of the family photography is done on Sundays when both hardworking parents
are around (!) but if you can do a midweek shoot then availability is
much better. I can't do any Saturdays as I am a fully booked wedding
photographer too.
What
to wear
Plain, casual clothes are generally best. White clothing and heavy patterns
are to be avoided if possible as they will be distracting in the final
photograph. Highly visible logos will date the photographs in years
to come. Having said that, it is important that everyone wears something
they feel comfortable in rather than feeling 'dressed up'.
