Children and Family Portraits

Photographs capture the hearts and souls of our children, families and loved ones

Photographs give us a glimpse of our children’s personalities, their emotions, our memories and shared moments, and tell the stories of the connections we share. A single image can reveal the joy in a child’s laughter, and the unbreakable bonds between loved ones.

Through photographs, we are transported beyond the boundaries of time, allowing us to reconnect with a moment in time that would otherwise be lost. Photographs of special occasions, bucket-list holidays, engagements, birthdays, or multi-generational family gatherings are milestones in our lives. The stories in these images allow our memories to breathe long after the moment has passed.

  • Recce / Pre-shoot Meeting

    My photography services include a recce and meeting before the shoot, to make the process more relaxed. It lets us prep everyone, and gives me a chance to meet younger children so they are more comfortable on the day of the shoot. The recce helps us plan ahead so we don’t spend time figuring things out on the day.

  • Lighting & Backdrops

    You may prefer shooting in your own home, or using a simple black or white backdrop. You might like soft lighting or a more dramatic feel. Each choice has a different outcome, and requires a different approach. The sorts of memories you’d like, and the types of images you want to create, can be discussed at the pre-shoot meeting.

  • Postproduction

    Postproduction is a critical part of the process. We remove blemishes and other imperfections and distractions. Converting to black and white requires an adjustment of colours, tones, contrast, highlights, and vignetting across the entire image. All parts of the image are refined and crafted.

  • Large-format Printing

    Digital printing is on Epson and HP printers exclusively, with up to 10-ink colours - even for black & white images - to produce the best possible printed results. Prints are museum quality and guaranteed not to fade for 100 years. All papers are acid free too, so your photographs will last for generations.
