Family Photographer in the Surrey Hills
Autumnal Family Photo Session in beautiful Surrey HIlls.
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.
Give a Gift of Family Photography
The beauty of family photography lies in its ability to freeze moments in time, creating a visual legacy that can be passed down through generations. Perhaps you would like me to capture the magic of your family this holiday season? Or you know a family who you think a photography gift voucher might be the perfect gift for? Either way, get in touch - I would love to hear from you!
Children photography in the Surrey Hills
I am really behind on my blog posts. There seems to be a million other things to do at the moment!
This children photography session happened a few months ago, at the beginning of winter. Nothing beats winter light on a beautiful sunny day! The sun is low and can produce some spectacular effects in the middle of the day. We set out on a family walk, and I actually left my camera at home as it was overcast at the time. My husband presuaded me to go back and get it and I cannot thank him enough! As we reached the Hills, the clouds parted and we were treated to magic! It was one amazing scene after another, perfect for family photography and children’s portraits.
As Surrey family photographer, I was gutted that I didn’t have a family photoshoot on that day, but I more than made up for it with photos of my own family and the beautiful landscape in front of me.
I hope you enjoy viewing these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them. On this first day of spring and on one year anniversary since the first lockdown, let’s look back and be greatful for all the nice experiences we had and hope for some more in the near future.
I will be returning to photographing children and families next week. If you would like to book a photoshoot with me, please get in touch.
