Family Portrait Photography at Home

A photo session at home allows you to get pictures that are relaxed and natural, with a mix of candid and formal shots without having to leave the house. At various stages of life this works, when the children are too small to bring to a studio, or when they are older and between activities, sports, birthday parties it is difficult to get the time to bring everyone to a studio, so let the photographer come to you.

Events

It is always great to take the opportunity to mark and record special occasions, especially when everyone is dressed up and looking their best! It is a great chance to get a family photo or just an alternative to the school photo. This can be done on the day or another day when it is not so hectic!!

Babies

I find baby photography sessions really rewarding. It is such a special time in a family’s life and it is a true privilege to capture it. I also know it is a very busy time. I would have loved professional images when my children were small, but the prospect of bringing them to a studio seemed too difficult at the time. The idea of someone coming to my house and taking photos of our family would have been amazing and I am so glad to be able to offer this service now. It is such an exciting but short time that it is nice to take a moment to record it.

Family on Location

Photo session can also be booked for a particular location, perhaps somewhere special to your family or maybe you would just like to get outdoors. I am more than happy to meet you at there. It can be great fun, resulting in natural, relaxed photographs. .

Extended Family

More and more I get asked to do extended family sessions, these are brilliant gifts for anniversaries and birthdays. I come from a large close family and I married into something similar, our cousin gatherings are always great fun.  These sessions always have a sense of occasion about them, and are a wonderful opportunity to capture different generations together

Pricing

I have competitively priced photography packages that will allow you to get excellent professional images, to suit every budget.
