We have such a bond with our families. Sometimes it’s not that often they can get together, which is why it’s such a lovely experience in capturing families giggling together whilst they recall precious memories.

What to wear gets harder when there’s more of you.  A colour scheme really enhances your images.

Using different coloured backgrounds, black & white, or sepia images, can really change the mood of an image.

It’s sometimes not seen as ‘cool’ to be photographed, especially with a sibling. Our staff are all easy-going which encourages Teenagers to feel more relaxed and fall into ‘being them’ again.

If there are two or more people, choosing a colour scheme works really well. Avoiding checks, flowers & large motifs on tops really do make a big difference. By avoiding pattern and colour clashes it enhances the whole image and concentrates the eye onto those in the photographs.

• Plain clothing always works best.
• Large motives, vivid patterns, stripes and checks are best avoided as they can be distracting.
• Pastel shades work very well for babies.
• For more informal shots we often pose you on the floor, sometimes with bare feet. Nail varnish for the ladies or plain socks for the men is recommended.
• Because the feet of babies are cute we usually remove their socks.

Our studio is on the first floor, accessed by a wide stairway. Buggies should be left at the foot of the stairs and just bring your valuables up with you.

Often families meet up for special occasions and prefer to have photographs taken at one of their favourite places instead of the studio.

Listening to them muse over sentimental memories from years back during the photograph sessions at one of their favourite old haunts is really interesting and often funny. It is our reward when they share these with us.
