A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to photograph Chelsea’s prom portraits in Watford, Hertfordshire. It was a vary glam occasion. Chelsea had her hair and makeup done and looked fabulous in a gorgeous lime green dress. We got to have some real fun shooting her portraits and some really unique images have resulted. All her friends joined her a little later and they all set of to their prom in a pure white limo.

A few weeks ago I was asked to photograph newborn baby Harrison and his family in Watford, Hertfordshire. I know baby Harrison’s family very well because I photographed his big sister Molly about 9 months ago. I love family photography and especially newborn babies. Harrison was 7 days old when I shot his portrait photography, so tiny but absolutely gorgeous.

During the summer Marina and Mark, Molly’s parents, requested baby portrait photography. Molly is a beautiful baby with large dark brown eyes. Here is the baby and family portraits I created.

Back in February I was contacted by Thomas, Anastacia’s Father, to shoot some newborn baby portrait photography of his new daughter. Anastacia was 20 days old and so tiny.  I photographed all the little details, her tiny fingers and toes so that Thomas and Nicole (Anastacia’s Mummy) had a true and beatiful record of their daughter at such a young age.

Amelia is two! I shot baby Amelia’s birthday portrait photography in Watford, Herts. She was such a lovely child – soft blond hair, rosy cheeks and lots of smiles.

I shot these family portait photographs earlier this year in Watford, Hertfordshire. Julie wanted quite formal portraiture, rather than lifestyle portraits, as she planned to order prints for her family in Ireland and they would expect a more traditional style of photograph. I brought my portable studio to Julie’s home as it is easier to work with Children in a location they are comfortable with.

Two gorgeous little girls playing outside and enjoying the summer weather.

Although I shoot all types of portraiture my favourite kind is lifestyle or environmental portrait photography. Capturing people in their own natural environment, I think, adds to the narative of the photograph and also cuts out much of the awkwardness that can result with a formally posed image in a studio. Lifestyle photography is invariably very relaxed and produces lovely natural photographs. I feel these photographs have really captured the ambince of a bright summers day.

Driving Helena

I have picked this photograph to display because I love Helena’s facial exxpression. It looks like she’s about to floor the accelerator to get me.

Brmmm brmmm!

There is such beautiful light in the summer, although full sunshine can be a photographers nightmare. It generally gives lots of harsh shadows, panda eyes and trouble with exposures. If utilised correctly the harsh sunlight can proviide fantastic rim lighting and hair highlights.

Lifestyle portrait photography to celebrate Shantelle’s 3rd birthday. Shantelle’s mother Tanya was keen to get some beautiful photographs of her daughter. She didn’t want anything too posed but wanted more natural photography.
