Our clients seem to produce very beautiful babies; they are very clever that way! Back in the summer of 2009, we were photographing Jenny and Jeremy’s lovely relaxed wedding day at Culcreuch Castle. Their adorable baby Jura (as gorgeous as her name) arrived this summer and Jenny brought her in to meet us on a trip up to Scotland from London. She smiled the whole time which we chatted and drank tea and Mark grabbed a few snaps.
Another of our wedding clients organised for Mark to come and photograph their gorgeous daughter last month. This time it was the turn of the ultra cute Millie to be a mini model for the day! Millie is super smiley (despite the fact she was teething big style on the day of the shoot) and so it was easy for Mark to capture some great, timeless shots of her having fun.
Here’s some of our favourites of Millie’s day:
Last month Mark had fun photographing the bundle of energy otherwise known as Joanna! Mark photographed Joanna’s Mum and Dad’s wedding back in 2007 – it’s great to revisit our clients as their family grows and provide them with natural family portraits. Kids seem to change on an almost weekly basis so a family portrait shoot is a great way to capture a moment in time to remember their sense of fun and energy. The images can be turned into great artwork as gifts for the adoring extended family too!
Here’s some of our favourites of the beautiful Joanna:
The traditional idea of the baby portrait seems so tired to me. Put them on the furry rug. Snap. Sit them on your knee and force them to stare blindly towards the camera. Yawn. How boring and how uninspired. I like to think of the experience of portrait photography as a rewarding experience for parents and their baby. I believe it is so much more powerful and enduring to capture the relationship within the family. I love the interaction between a baby and mummy and daddy. Parents know all the little tricks to get their children to respond. And the emotion produced is far more real than if the stressed photographer is forcing a squeaky toy in front of them. I like my portrait sessions to be mellow and calm rather than frantic and loud. Above all I aim for images which will always have meaning no matter how much time passes.

A lovely part of this job is when our wedding customers from years gone by return with new additions to the family to have a natural, contemporary portrait session taken of their little ones.
Mark photographed Sheilagh and Peter’s wedding in 2004 and they returned to see us recently with Peter jnr. Sheilagh emailled later to say “Peter was a wee monkey on the day but Mark managed to get some great shots!”
Here’s Peter having some fun:
