The love between a baby, a mummy and a daddy

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.

Peter’s portrait photoshoot

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:

We offer both portrait photoshoots in our studio and environmental portrait sessions at your home, local beach, park or place of interest. We also offer gift vouchers if you would like to give a friend or family member a gift of a photoshoot session with us. Please contact us for further information.
