Back from a short break

I’m just back from a trip to Scotland. We drove the 600 miles to avoid the airport hassle and the very expensive hire car charges (over £900 for a Ford Galaxy or similar for a week). The weather was variable, gale force winds, rain and occasional sunshine … but we weren’t there to relax on the beach. My in-laws are from the north of Scotland and we were mainly there to visit relatives and to let them meet Sophie for the first time.

A few holiday snaps:

Back to school package

First day at school?

Do you want some photos before new school uniforms get trashed?

The new school year isn’t far away. It will be the first time at school for lots of children and for others they may be changing school or just getting a new teacher. You’ve probably been out buying new uniforms, lovely new shoes and getting everything ready for September.

I’ve got a special offer for you to record this time of the year and this stage of your children’s lives.

  • A 15 minute studio shoot
  • One 8″x6″ print for you
  • Two 5″x7″ prints to give to grandparents

All for just £35!

Just give me a call and we will get you booked in! 01442 870005

Zakk’s Photo Shoot – Berkhamsted Studio Photography

This weekend, Zakk and his parents joined me in the studio for a shoot. Zakk is 4 and seemed very fond of his toy dog Vinnie. We started out with Zakk and his dad on the stage, Zakk wasn’t keen on being there on his own. After a while, dad was replaced with Vinnie;  Zakk made his dog presentable, taking off his collar and then they posed together for a few more shots.

Berkhamsted Family Photos – Studio Shoot

This weekend Luisa visited the studio with her beautiful family for a portrait shoot. Baby Arthur and his big sister Florence enjoyed playing on the stage, and Florence, in particular enjoyed posing for the camera.  She was a great model, she mirrored my movements, a slight tilt of my head or change of hand position would quickly be copied by her (she’s a natural in front of the camera!).

Here are a few images from the session:

A very pretty young lady, Jenny, visited my studio for a few photographs of her bump! Jenny is due in just a few weeks and she picked the perfect time, with her bump nice and prominent,  to record this important event in her life.

Here are a couple of photos from the shoot.

Many thanks for letting me share these Jenny!

This weekend I had the pleasure of meeting John and his family at his 80th Birthday celebrations. John’s daughter arranged for me to be there as a surprise!

William, Tom and Jamie visited my Berkhamsted Studio last week to get some photos. When they arrived, they played in the garden for a while before mum got them changed and ready.  They were great fun and full of energy, here are a few images from their shoot.

Berkhamsted Family Photography – Studio

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing Gary and his family in the studio. I called Gary an hour before the shoot to see if he wanted to head to a location (Berkhamsted Castle) or have a studio shoot, the weather wasn’t looking great and so he decided to opt for the studio … as you can see below:
