Natural Family Portraits

Even in a studio setting, family portraits don't have to be formal and boring. Relaxed, happy portrait photographs are achievable, as long as the family is at ease with the photographer.






Elaine's family came into the studio in Gwynedd for some portrait photographs with their young children, and we all had a great time. When everyone is happily having fun the results can be really superb, and after a very short time it was easy to forget about the camera and lights!


We started off with everyone on the floor and asked the kids to climb on the adults, much to the children's delight!
With everyone still sitting on the floor, a fit of giggles lightens everybody and creates some lovely natural expressions. It's not always necessary for everyone to look towards the camera, in fact it's much more informal when the family is interacting together and the dynamics of their personalities can shine through.

Ruth and Ruby are wonderfully tolerant of my bad jokes, and Ruby could easily be set for a career as a model with her fabulous flame-haired looks!


Towards the end of the shoot everyone has forgotten all about my camera, and some wonderfully touching moments are caught as they interact closely together as a family.

Jade, Will and Cian's Photo-shoot

Jade received a very cool present from a generous friend at Christmas - photo-shoot gift vouchers! So we had a fun morning at the studio with Cian last week and here are some of the shots, some of my favourites and some of Jade's!

Family portrait photography doesn't have to take place in the studio either. Lifestyle portraits and location shoots are becoming increasingly popular, especially amongst young families. If you'd like to find out more about studio or Lifestyle portraits please call 01341 28 11 93.
