Family photography

Covering Bedfordshire, all of the South East and UK

A relaxed approach to photographing families - less posing and more being yourselves

Capturing meaningful images that celebrate you, your personalities, your love and bond. And all the fun things you do together as a family.

“We went about our normal fun day out, without a care in the world, and the results were truly fantastic, memories made and saved for all to cherish.”

My approach

 

As a father of two, I know only too well that from a young age we are all conditioned to ‘smile and say cheese‘ to the camera - and there will always be a place for these photos.  However, I believe great images should capture real personalities, expressions, emotions and humour.  Captured only when our guard is down and we are being ourselves.

A relaxed approach to photography gives families the freedom to relax; to have fun; to play together; to forget worries about whether the children will behave or smile for the camera, and to just be themselves. 

There is less posing and more playing!

I want your family photography session to be fun, relaxed and easyStress-free for everyone … children, parents … even dad’s!

What to expect

 

Before the photography session we can chat about what you like to do together as a family – baking, building lego, a trip to the park, playing a favourite sport, enjoying a hobby or simply chilling out on the sofa together – so that I can tailor your unique photoshoot to your unique family

Your session can include informal group portraits if you like and I can provide as little or as much guidance with this as you like.

You don’t have to dress-up especially or behave any differently to usual, your family life will unfold naturally and we can bounce ideas off of each other as we go along. I promise that you’ll soon forget about the camera and just get on with enjoying the moment together.


 

“We absolutely loved our 'mini explorer' experience! Warren is very easy going and the shoot was loads of fun, very relaxed and natural.  The moments captured are truly special, they reflect the precious times of family life that you wish to bottle!”
