Family Photography: Capturing Family Connection and Timeless Moments
Family photography is more than just taking pictures; it's about freezing a moment in time, creating a visual legacy, and telling the unique story of a family's journey. Whether it's a candid shot of a child's laughter, a serene family portrait, or a dynamic action shot, family photography has the power to evoke emotions, preserve memories, and celebrate the bonds that tie us together.
Surrey Family Photographer
I photographed this family on an a crisp and sunny autumnal day, in their garden in the beautiful Surrey Hills. We started the session with some playful action shots of the boys going on their swing and playing football. Having worked as a family photographer for nearly a decade, I learnt that my sessions get off to a nice relaxing start if we start a session with some kind of a game. This creates a playful atmosphere, children tend to relax and trust me as they see me as one of their buddies. This in turn enables me to capture genuine moments which show real bonds, emotions and laughters shared between family members.
Autumnal Outdoor Family Session
What I also like to encourage in my sessions is families playing a game together. These natural interactions are a perfect setting for capuring the laughter, playfulness and spontanious expressions which make each family unique. In this particular session, the family started gathering leaves from the lawn so I incorporated that activity, and created an action shot with everyone throwing leaves up in the air. We then found great big yellow leaves, which I thought would be perfect to incorporate into creative portraits of the children.
