Clerkenwell Family Photography
London Family Photography.

2018 was a good year, and not just because of this Clerkenwell Family Photography shoot I am sharing today!

2018 was the year I shot a lot of fun, new families in London and afar.

But, 2018 was also the year I changed my business model to suit how I wanted to work. And I have been loving the change! If you’ve been following my work at all you may have noticed my big 2018 push for prints.

Yup, I am all about the tangible products these days. And now, with every family, newborn and bump package booked, I feel complete joy! Joy because I know that no matter what happens you will end up with a physical of your photographs. This is so important because in 10, 20 or even longer years they’ll be absolutely priceless to you.

No doubt about it.

But in 10 years that USB of images might be lost, broken or still just a USB of images, sat unloved! Not something you sit around with your family laughing, passing around and smiling at!

I will write a post more detailed about the Why of my change. And I hope (and I am quietly confident) that you will get it. Also, giving clients their images for their walls 100% fills my heart and makes me happy. Which is why we have our own businesses – to be happy! So keep an eye out for the post, coming soon. As well as a detailed, visual page of all my products. But package details are over here if you’re intetested!

Now, just a brief note on this lovely, Clerkenwell family photography shoot. As a West London photographer, I spent a fair share of 2018 photographing families in central and East London. Which I love, and let’s be honest, that side of the city is really, very cool!

On this occasion we spent a bit of time inside, capturing more intimate moments, before having a walk around the local area, ending in a park.

Something I adored about this family session was the relaxed, roll with it vibe we had going on. As well as the fact they enjoyed vibrant colour, mismatched clothing and the absolute love they showered on their little one. Which you can easily see shines through these photographs.

This was also a great family who, after delivering their prints, gifted me a box of home made and home decorated Christmas cookies (!!) and were already discussing shoot number two. Pretty perfect clients!

So, I hope you like this small selection of images from their Clerkenwell Family Photography, and get in touch if you’d like to book your own!

Heads up – with my own babe on it’s way this year, I will be taking on limited shoots, so if you’re very keens, get in touch early!

You are so right about prints – they’re to be treasured and seen, not hidden away somewhere on a digital drive. And to add to the value your prints hold over high street prints – I was just looking back over old family photo albums and some must have been such poor stock or print quality that all the colour has faded. So I am all for pro prints, especially when showcasing your incredible talent! (Beautiful family photos here too, as always! ReplyCancel

  I think people are changing their mindset a bit more to physical prints now too, which is great! It will be very special down the line when they want to look through old pictures. Interesting note about the colour fade/shift which hopefully will be controlled by printing professionally with a Pro Lab! Thanks for the lovely comment!ReplyCancel

Colourful Family Photography

A Colourful Family Shoot.
London Family Photography.

Colourful family photography is what I love and this shoot definitely had it all going on! It was a total blast and such a pleasure to do some family photography for one of my favourite photographers – and fellow film shooter – Molly Matcham. It was also a shoot that took me pretty far away from my usual family photography locations, Not quite the farthest I have been, as I am pretty sure I won’t be able to ever top this maternity shoot I did in New Zealand! But this family shoot took me back up the the North East, and a tad further from my home than I usually venture. But it was 100% worth it!

The family were fun and creative, their home full of character and colour and all sorts of little hideaways and nooks to shoot in. And of course, the beautiful scenery – only slightly let down by the fact this family shoot fell on what quite possibly may have been the cloudiest day this year! This is something I really miss since moving to London, the beautiful, vast scenery. The colourful woodland, hillscapes that never end and the open fields of the North East.

So get lost in the cosy, countryside living, the furry family members and just the coolest little family. All shot on film. It’s jammed packed with love and laughter – and shows that you can still get blummin’ lovely family pictures even when the weather is beyond dreary! I hope you enjoy looking through them, as much as I do.

If you’re wanting to capture some of your family moments, and get some prints to keep, share and love, then you can check out all the different types of family photography packages I offer here. If you’re not sure about getting family portraits and moments, then I recommend checking out some of the other posts on my blog, like this summer time family shoot or some this black & white film Mother & Baby photography. And of course, if you still have questions I love getting mail so feel free to contact me.
