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.

I had great fun photographing Fabio for his model and acting portfolio. He wanted a career change and so we had to start the portfolio from scratch. Together we discussed the look he was going for and then I scouted locations and outfits so that there was a large variety of images to choose from. Part of the photographers job inlucludes being a stylist also. All photography was shot on location in Putney, London, which provided a great background for the images. Fabio was very nervous when I arrived having never done this sort of thing before, but I soon put him at ease. Well me and also the cinzano he was drinking before I arrived

I love animals and so I love to photograph them. I try to capture their individual personalities to create really interesting photography.

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.

Although it’s lovely to shoot newborn baby portrait photography, for some it is not always possible and so I often photograph babies and their parents at age 3 months. The baby is still tiny and so i can capture all the small details as I would with a newborn. Robyn is a beautiful happy baby and I shot some lovely portraits of her and her mother Siobhan. Siobhan also booked me to shoot photography at Robyn’s christening. I will post on this shortly.

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.

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.

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.

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.
