Surrey Family Photographer | High Elms Country Park Family Photo Session with Dog
Family and Dog Photo Session in London Borough of Bromley
I recently photographed a newborn baby and her family in High Elms Country Park in Bromley, London. The baby’s mum got in touch about a year ago to enquire about a dog photo session. Due to scheduling difficulties that photoshoot never took place, but a year later the family welcomed a new member and wanted to document this special time with a set of family portraits.
Natural Style Newborn Photo Session in a London Park
We arrived at High Elms Country Park and were greeted by fairly good weather; mainly overcast with periods of sunshine. Contrary to popular belief, overcast days work really well for photography as the cloud cover provides even lighting for the subjects without harsh shadows and glaring light. Overcast days are also better for newborns as parents don’t need to worry about exposing their child’s delicate skin to sunlight.
The baby was a few weeks old and coming out of the sleepy stage. She was able to stay awake for longer periods of time which allowed me some time to photograph her interacting with her parents and observing the world around her.
However, after such a busy morning looking, exploring and posing it all got a little too much and sleep suddenly took over. This is the time where everyone can relax a bit, and I can focus on tcapturing quiet moments and details. I hope you enjoy looking at these sleepy photos as much as I enjoyed taking them, my heart was full and bursting with how cute this newborn baby was.
Outdoor Dog Photography
A family & dog photoshoot can’t go by without a few featured shots of the family’s beloved canine companion. This little cockapoo lady called Cindy was particularly fun to photograph. She was full of energy, up for doing tricks and chasing her ball - perfect for action shots! One of my favourites from this session was of Cindy leaping high into the air, ears and tail up! I feel I really captured her personality, just happy to be there. The photo really covays that sense of joy, it makes me want to go out and run around on a grassy field!
Dog Portrait Photography
Portraits of Cindy were more of a challenge - sitting wasn’t quite her thing but we somehow managed to get her still for a few seconds, just enough for me to capture a few frames including this one amongst English lavender in full bloom.
