With some couples it’s very obvious how much they love each other, as was the case here. During this single photoshoot we changed location a few times so that we have some urban backgrounds, as well as some natural, green backgrounds. We also did a change of outfits part-way through to give some additional variety.

Even older children love a laugh during a photoshoot
Posted onYou’ll find our approach to working with families applies to children of all ages, young and old. We’re always keen to get them involved in what we’re doing – we want them to be active participants, rather than bored bystanders who just get told how to stand. We work closely with your children to allow them to have some informal fun time and to help us create a memorable experience for all of you.
Evening in the park
Posted onWe love a good park – as long as they have trees and hedges, they make great places to use for a photoshoot. On this occasion we did a change of clothes to give a wider variety of photos.
Mum and her daughters
Posted onHere are some of our favourite photos from this family photoshoot – it was really difficult to choose, as there were so many beautiful photos. The photoshoot was such fun, as we’d allowed time for the girls to play, relax and to be themselves.
Multiple backgrounds for a female photoshoot
Posted onWithin a small area in east London we found several urban locations, plus a nearby local park which gave us some natural green backgrounds. A change of clothes added to the variety of the range of portraits we ere able to create.
A mix of jackets and tops
Posted onIn this photoshoot no outfit ‘changing’ was required, as this woman’s ‘base layer’ of black remained the same – instead, she brought along a blue jacket, a black jacket and a red top. We combined these with a few different backgrounds and very quickly we created a great mix of different looks for her portfolio.
The stylish teenagers
Posted onWith this older family of teenagers we’d already created a wide range of ‘proper’ portraits for the family to hang on their walls at home. It was now time for something a little bit different. As always, we talked through our ideas with them to see how keen they were.
We wanted to do something edgy, with more ‘attitude’, to reflect more of their personalities – a strong, black and white approach helped to create a really elegant style which they all loved.
Summer family photoshoot of a teenage family
Posted onThis family of five was an older family, with a range of teenagers. We find teenagers tend to approach photoshoots in two different ways:
- if they’re the ones who requested the photoshoot, they’ll be the keenest people in the world,
- but if they’ve been ‘encouraged’ to come along, then they’re much more likely to hold back and be ‘not bothered’.
However, we find both sets of teenagers are the same – they’re both super-interested if we get them involved. We therefore do what we always do with children of all ages – get to know them and ask what they want to get out of the photoshoot and what they would like.
In this family, for example, the daughter was keen from the outset on getting involved, however, the two sons were really not interested in the slightest. We therefore did the ‘proper’ photos first – those shown below – that the parents and daughter were keen to have. Afterwards we changed our approach to do what all three siblings wanted (which you can see in this other post – The stylish teenagers).
Recreating an old family photoshoot
Posted onAt the start of this family photoshoot the teenage daughter mentioned that the last time they’d had a family photoshoot was well over ten years ago when she and her brothers were much younger – apparently they still had that photo on display in their home, with all three of them as tiny children.
We talked about that photo, which obviously meant a lot to them, and decided to recreate it as best as we could. It sounded easy at first, until we all realised the weight of three teenagers us so much heavier than three tiny children!
Loving photos of this young boy with his parents
Posted onWith all families you get to see lots of love and affection on display and this one was no exception. We wanted to capture that beautiful family love in these photos, where you can see this young boy showing his love for each of his parents.
Very young children, like this young lad, have super short attention spans. The only way we were able to get these lovely photos was by letting him run around and have lots of fun in-between the ‘proper’ photos, as you can see from this ‘time to play at a photoshoot‘ post.
