Let’s face it, a family photoshoot can be a bit cheesy. Thankfully I’m here to shake it up a bit.
As a family photographer in Hertfordshire, I create beautiful pictures from your natural everyday connections and expressions. Re inventing your family photos to leave you with fresh images bursting with character and genuine moments. Personalities leap from my images, not fake smiles.
If that’s what you’re after please stick around!
“We had the best time taking our family photographs. You showed us a magical part of the woods and made us feel at ease. You perfectly captured my daughters happy curious spirit and we now have the most beautiful artistic pictures of her that we will treasure forever. Thank you Denise x”
Firstly, we need to talk. (That’s a no obligation talk by the way.)
I just like to hear what you want from your family photography. Who you would like photographed, what your family interests are, is the dog coming? The more I know the easier it is to create a family photography shoot that ticks all your boxes.
Above all communication at this point is key. You may have questions about me too. I’m open and honest and totally here to help.
“We love our photos so much.
You captured everything we wanted so perfectly and were so lovely to be around.
Thank you!”
Mainly I shoot on location in Hertfordshire, taking advantage of being surrounded by beautiful countryside and woodland. Similarly we can shoot in a more urban environment, using local industrial settings as our back drop. Anything goes really.
If you prefer a few creature comforts I am happy to come to your Hertfordshire home for our family photography shoot. Don’t worry though, you don’t need a “show home”. Your home environment is perfect to tell your family story. What you might see as mess are real elements of your life. I want to tell it as it is, to create tangible memories of who you are right now.
“Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures! Still can’t believe how stunning they all are. So glad we got them early on as they are both growing so fast now!”
Each photo shoot will last approximately 2 hours, although this can vary from family to family. I will always invest my time and effort into putting you and your children at ease so everyone feels relaxed. Really ensuring we get the best from our time together.
I like to shoot freely, letting you and your children interact and play. Ultimately resulting in natural images full of honest, beautiful moments. I often bring along games to encourage play and invite you to bring along anything that you might feel will add to your shoot.
If you have older children who notoriously hate the camera (unless they’re taking the picture!) don’t worry. I’ll try and impress them with some cool dialogue, but probably fail as they cringe into their devices. Ultimately though, I’m confident that I’ll win them round and put them at ease. I have four of my own so I should know how to handle them!
“I can't thank you enough for our beautiful photography. Having a small baby with us made me a bit anxious, but I didn't need to worry.You made us feel at ease and the kids had a great time. Thank you for the experience!”
