The Power of the Photograph to Evoke Feelings of Joy

 

Sibling love.

 

Over the years I have had the privilege of photographing your children – from when they were babies, right up to adulthood to create a story of their lives for all to reflect on. It always fills me with joy when I see these photographs from years gone by framed and taking pride of place in your homes.

I’m showcasing a few photographs of two brothers I started photographing seven years ago when they were two years eight months and eight months old.

Every April the photo-shoots take place in a local woodland that is filled with the most beautiful bluebells. And this year, 2022, was no different, other than they have a sister who was introduced to the photo-shoots in 2019.

Take a look at the gallery below, by clicking on the white arrows on the left and right of the main picture to scroll through to see the evolution of time and just how important it is to take the time to enjoy every single moment to reflect on. The only year we missed was 2020 when the pandemic took its grip.

The relationship I have built with their mum started in 1997 when she was one of my first customers when I opened the studio next door to her place of work. She chose to commission me to take her portrait to mark her birthday as a gift for her mum’s 50th. Fourteen years later I was asked to photograph her wedding day and so the story goes…and this is what fills me with joy to connect and create images to tell the story of your life.

What’s your story?

Thanks

Your Family Photo-shoot Awaits

Time to choose which photo-shoot suits you…

Time to choose which photo-shoot suits you…

With the whole year ahead of us and the beautiful changing seasons to look forward to, now is the time to plan and book which location you would like your family photo-shoot to take place in.

If this is something you have been meaning to organise for a while but it keeps getting put to the bottom of the pile, then now is the time to make it a priority, your children or grandchildren will be grown-ups before you know it!

As I have grown older my desire to connect with the outdoors and immerse myself within Mother Nature has grown too, it’s the connectedness and the natural beauty that I love. This is when time stops still for me and I’m totally absorbed by my love of photography to connect and to capture your moments in time that can never be repeated.

As the saying goes - ‘Time waits for no man’ - but that is what photography does, it does make time stand still, frozen in a split second to reflect on.

Below is a reminder of the locations for your photo-shoot, if there are others you would like to explore just let me know, I’m always happy to discover new places!

To secure and reserve a place for your photo-shoot simply call me on 01883 722282 - so when the time comes I can confirm your date and time to fit in with the ever-changing seasons.

Click on the link under each of the photographs below to find out more, this is where you’ll find the option via a button called ‘Commission Yours’ to enquire or book your shoot if you prefer to get in touch online.

I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you if this is your first photo-shoot with me, or welcoming you back for an updated shoot.

Bye for now.
