Harford Family Portraits

Although many of my family portraits are of younger children, I always enjoy taking photos of teens – not only are there are different opportunities for photos, but the dynamics of the session are also different. I spend a lot of time with my clients, so I really get a glimpse into their personality and their interests, which I can then incorporate that into the photographs.

I’ve known Mo for a while through business networking – she runs a brain-friendly sales training business called Momentum Training (and she is excellent at it too), but more importantly she has two daughters, Alex and Laura, and she wanted to have a photo shoot with them. Mo actually won the shoot at a charity auction in aid of Edward’s Trust and Ovarian Cancer earlier this year, so it was great to meet up with them at their home in Sutton Coldfield to take the pictures.

Most of my work is out and about in parks etc, but Mo particularly wanted some more studio-looking photos as well, so I split the session – some indoors with a studio setup, and some outdoor – and I just had such a blast with them. All three of them were just such a laugh to photograph, and as sisters Alex and Laura really have such a great bond they made it easy for me.

Here is a selection of the favourites from the shoot…
