Kira and her mum, Nina, dropped into the studio this week for a shoot. They brought a few changes of clothes and Kira had Barbie with her! I put Lady Gaga on the speakers as mother and daughter took to the stage.

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.

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:

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.

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:

Harry last visited the studio when he was just 3 weeks old for a newborn photo shoot, he has changed a lot in 15 months! Walking, talking and keeping his parents busy

Harry was a joy to photograph, he gave us some very cute expressions, a few giggles and was extremely patient. Thank you Harry!

I got a very nice present from a client! Young Izzy popped back to the studio with her mum and dad to sort out a little paperwork – Izzy gave me two drawings, they were both brilliant, but this one was my favourite!

Thank you again Izzy!

Last week Donna brought her children and her parents to my Berkhamsted Photography Studio for some photos. You may recall seeing a recent posting about Donna’s farewell party (which was on top of Pitstone Hill), well she wanted a few photos of her nearest and dearest to take with her to California and I was only too please to oblige. Donna’s children were great fun, Joe kept pulling some of the funniest faces! His little sister, Evie, took a while before she relaxed in front of the camera – but when she did, she delivered some beautiful expressions.

P.S. You may also remember seeing Joe and Evie in some autumn woodland photos I took last year.

The Ashridge Estate, close to Berkhamsted, Tring and Dunstable, is a very attractive place to visit with your family. Walks in the woodland, picnics on the grass or a cup of tea in the cafe – there’s always something to do. Our children like to climb on the giant fallen tree trunks and then eat icecreams .

This weekend I had the pleasure of meeting a beautiful young family at Ashridge – they wanted to get some family photos. At this time of the year, a location based shoot works really well. Children can run around with almost complete freedom and their parents can relax and enjoy the scenery. I worked from a distance, looking for natural, candid shots of the family – little Ethan and his cousin Harley were very cute and  a joy to photograph!

Here are some shots:
