Timeless Memories of You and Your Family

As a Grandparent I know that your family is the most precious thing in the World. In a few short years it’s all over – they’ve gone to uni., got a flat, moved in with their boyfriend….

This time as a parent is so precious – in years to come all you’ll have are memories that unfortunately do fade, and photographs.

So the photos you have are really important.

Unlike most photographers I do actually believe that “selfies” and those

awful phone photos DO have a place – they perfectly capture the moment,

the feelings and emotions that will transport you back to that place and time

in years to come.

However, it would be extremely rare for a phone photo to be something you’d

get enlarged and framed – if you did you’d find the quality once enlarged would

be very disappointing.

Great photos don't just

happen - they are created.

This is where I come in…..

VIRUS PRECAUTIONS...

We'll do a shoot but outdoors

and always stay 2m apart per the Social Distancing recommendations.
WE'LL ALL STAY SAFE

I’ve been a full time professional photographer for a long time.

I started out with (and still do) Weddings.

I soon discovered that I had this urge to be more creative than weddings allowed as mostly the photos are documentary rather than created from scratch.

So I started doing Family photo shoots where I could choose the location, the setting, the time of day the background the composition, the lighting.
I could be creative….

So that’s what I do for you

I create photos that will look great as a framed print, canvas or Acrylic.

That will look perfect even at 36”x24”
That will be the perfect summation of you all as a family and be a timeless reminder.

I capture not just a picture of you all but an image that tells a story, that portrays the emotions here, that goes beyond photography and becomes art.

I use Lightroom and Photoshop to take a great photo and add even more to it so it will be something you never tire of looking at.

Thank you for your hard work on Saturday Allen.

Kids and photos are hard work!
Love the shots and you did a great job getting us all organised. Well done and I'll get the print order to you tomorrow :-)

I do have a small studio that I use for some photography – however

I prefer to create images that use the setting and location

and time of day to add more to the photographs.

I find a normal studio lacking in depth and possibilities and

limits the artistry that outdoor lifestyle photography offers.

The photographs I produce should represent who you are as a family.

Is someone into dancing, or gymnastics, do you just love taking the dog out for walks in the forest, is Dad a mad keen runner?
My way of working is to meet with you all at a pre-shoot consultation – to allow me to get to know you all a little so that I can suggest a place, time and setting that will best match who you all are.

Often the shoot begins at home where I’ll capture each individual “doing their thing” because although you’re a family it is comprised of individuals and it’s important to capture that aspect as well as just you all together.

When it comes to the shoot of you all together, say at the beach at sunset then I’ll again capture you individually but then of course together. And I’ll capture the spirit of who you are – are you a mad fun loving crazy bunch of people – or a caring, loving quiet family where I’ll capture the emotional bonds between you all

These will be photos that you’ll look at for decades to some and they don’t just happen.

They take time, both yours and mine.

They take some effort on your part to co-ordinate things so it all comes together as planned.

But it will be so worth it!

You and your family captured in a moment of time that sums up who you are.

Priceless…..

Pricing

I want to make this as affordable as I can - I also need to make a living the same as everyone.

So I only ask you to pay for what I do and the products you decide you want AFTER you've seen the images.

So the fee for a 1.5 hour shoot is just £65

Afterwards - and after you've seen the photos you can decide what you want to do with them.

I offer 3 Packages that in my experience best suit most people.

Gold

1) My Top Of The Range 24"x16" Floating Framed Giclee Print of your choice.

To die for!

2) A 24x16" Acrylic. Top quality and really suited to dark images where the gloss of the acrylic really brings out the depth of the image.
