Informal Family Portrait
The Brief
3 Generation group shot post pandemic restrictions and the group wanted something relaxed and "not just a boring 3 rows".
Customer Comments
"I really like the photos where we are in front of the willow tree. The low step angle works really well. It was a shame that there were too many of us to include in the sky shot as this was such a good idea.”
“We just wanted to say a huge Thank You to Simon for coming round and making the photo session fun and fairly pain-free! It was great to try lots of different styles, all of which produced some lovely moments.”
“David & I really appreciated your friendly and professional approach.”

Dog Shoot - 3 Ages of Dogs
The Brief
As all dog lovers will know age catches up with our 4legged friends all too fast & the client wanted set of shots featuring family members and three generations of canine ranging between 9 months and 15 years old! There's nothing like a challenge especially as a shot of all 3 running together was on the agenda. Nothing a bit of perseverance, teamwork and a few kilo's of dog treats can't resolve .... we got a full suite of shots and the dogs were brilliant making some great memories for Bridget and the family.
Customer Comments
