Family Portrait Photographer in Hertfordshire

This is Varina, Mataya, Amal at Matt. Varina and her family are regular vistors to my studio. The shots I’ve taken of them have been extremely successful in winning awards. To date the photographs of her and her family have won a national title (UK Mother & Child Photographer of the Year) and 3x Awards of Excellence. So when Varina calls asking me to do some more photographs, I get very excited!

I was due to take this family portrait back in March, but unfortunately, the shoot had to be abandoned due to Varina going down with a nasty bout of food poisoning a few minutes before I was due to do the group shot! Everyone was back in the studio yesterday fit and well and we did some really fab shots of all of them together.

Some of the past winning shots can be seen below.

Meet Emily everyone!

Emily very much enjoyed her time at the studio. She made lots of happy baby noises and giggled when the flash went off!

A bright happy face for a bright summer’s day! This is Jessica (3). This her second visit to my studio – I first photographed Jessica when she was around 6 months old. During today’s shoot, she sung me a lovely song – her take on ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’. Her version was called ‘Twinkle Twinkle Chocolate Bar’!

Another quick update on my availability. I am now booked up for the first two weeks in July. Spaces in the second part of July are now limited. At the time of writing this, I only have one Saturday slot available in July - namely the 31st. Remember, all sittings are booked on a first come, first served basis.

Pictured above are Sam(8) and Ella (4). We had a great shoot of which I did two totally contrasting looks. The first set-up is as shown above, but we also did some some great dark and moody shots too. Despite it being sunny and hot outside - and Sam missing the England match, both of them worked really hard.

Its been a great few days and I’ve been welcoming back clients who I’ve photographed in the past.

Starting from the top, Bharat, Nila and little Millan first visited my studio around 3 years ago. It was great to see them again and even better to meet their new addition to their family – the beautiful Layla.

Secondly, let me introduce Dwayne, Lily-Mae and Katie. This is their third visit to my studio since October! I first photographed Katie when she was pregnant, then when Lily-Mae was just a few days old and now they are back again to capture Lily-Mae’s lovely smile.

Finally, pretty in pink we have Toula (pictured right) who first visited me a couple of years ago. This time, she brought her lovely little sister Baila with her.

This is George (4). Don’t you just LOVE his hair?! George is one of our entrants into the Kodak Portrait awards – where you could win £1,000.00. I did two set-ups with him, the first was as shown above, where we got some great bright and cheery shots, and the second was the complete opposite – namely a dark and grungy look.

George was fantastic in front of the camera and I think mum will be rewarding him with his favourite treat - gingerbread biscuits!

Had a nice shoot this morning. Pictured above is Elfie (7) and Seth (3). Great kids, they told me that they were both very excited about their upcoming camping holiday.

Elfie and Seth came in as part of our fabulous Kodak promotion – where you get a FREE portrait sitting worth £50.00, plus the chance of winning £1,000.00. Please note that I close this promotion in early August – which might sound some time away, but bear in mind that I now have limited spaces left for June and I’m now getting bookings/enquiries for July. If you would like to take part in this competition, you need to book your portrait shoot sooner rather than later. To book your sitting, call me on 01279 843050 now.

Its beautifully warm and sunny outside – and I’m stuck inside catching up with loads of work!

Here are a few shots I’ve done in the last week… Firstly we have Lee (5) who was extremely good during his portrait shoot, and next we have his little brother - 7 month old Alfie. Alfie’s mum was telling me that he is a bit of a serious baby - as he often didn’t smile in photographs, but we got lucky and I caught a lovely smile. Finally, we have a classical style portrait of the beautiful Tasha, who came in with her family for a portrait shoot. It was quite a long session, but very enjoyable and productive.

Nice shoot this afternoon. This is Joshua (3) who came in as part of our ABC Cover Star promotion. As with all little boys of his age, he was a lively lad who loved to explore the studio. What I love about this shot is that this shows a very different side to his personality. He would only show it for a few seconds – and then get back to the more important task of playing!

Finally, I’m going to be taking next week off – well, try to anyway! If you need to get in touch, you can leave a message by phone or email and I will, if neccessary, get back to you as soon as I can.

Well, we’ve had beautiful weather in the last two days… and I’ve been stuck inside for most of it! But its been worth it. I’ve had some lovely children to photograph.

First up is Emily. Her parents are past clients of mine and this time, Emily needed some publicity portraits of herself to submit to a theatrical agent. Secondly, we have Alice (2) who came in as part of our great Kodak portrait promotion, where you could win £1,000.00. I love her beautiful sparkly eyes. Next is baby Jessica who came in for her first portrait sitting. It took a little time for the smiles to come, but once she realised mummy had her favorite cuddly rabbit with her, she settled down and was very happy to have her photograph taken! Finally, Jessica’s big brother Daniel (2). I first photographed little Daniel when he was a baby and he’s growing into a very handsome little boy.
