A few of my favourite’s of the informal portrait shoot of Ana’s first birthday. Ana is a very cute little girl.

Baby Lance’s first portrait at 6 months, he wasn’t feeling his happiest, so it was our job to get lots of smiles. His big brother Luke already had his portrait and Christening last year.

Here are a few of my favourites.

A few from a family portrait in Surrey. We photographed Paula and Bretts wedding in 2005 and since then they’ve had two gorgeous girls, Maddy and Olivia. Maddy had her portrait taken at six months and had an album and canvas from the photo session. So now it’s Olivia’s turn…

We photographed Mijanas and Pauls wedding last July and they were lucky enough to fall pregnant soon afterwards. They wanted a portrait of baby Ana before she got too big! She is still small and cute at three months.

Here are a few images, including a design for a custom printed thank you card.

Here are a few favourites from a recent family portrait, we photographed Lana and Steve’s wedding in 2006 at Kew Gardens. They now have two lively boys. Alec’s portrait hangs on their wall, so when James came along, they didn’t want him to be left out…

I photograph portraits in the same way as weddings, using available light. I do own studio lights but find shooting agaisnt a white background quite sterile.

James was teething so I had to take the photographs during the moments when he was smiling. Lana commented on the fact that it didn’t look as if James was having a bad day!

I pay a lady to correct all the photographs for colour and contrast, as they look cold straight out of camera. It’s worth every penny as the colours jump out at you.
