Last weekend we headed over the Lincoln to see Abbie and John, and to have a family portrait session with their two children, Annabel and William, plus John’s brother Mike, his wife Annabel and their beautiful 10 month old daughter, Katie.

I was hoping to be able to get out and about, but the weather closed it, it was cold and with a couple of non/recent walkers in the mix, it was best to stay around their house. It is always more of a challenge taking photographs indoors in the winter, but I am at my happiest working with natural light, so, as I warned John, decided to rearrange their entire house to make the most of the light. Their red leather chair worked really well in the photographs.

The shoot was arranged for John and Mike’s mother’s birthday later in the year, so hopefully she will love the photos.

Here is a sneak preview…

As a photographer, I genuinely enjoy the process of taking photos – the interaction, creativity and happy clients keep me enthusiastic and innovative. Many people find it awkward having their photograph taken – I use my experience to put people at ease so that I can get the most out of them, often in a short period of time.

Over the years I have been a professional photograph, I have won both regional and national awards, and I have been awarded an LMPA from the Master Photographers Association.
