High Key Childrens Portraits

This all white background looks great when shooting children, the images are very clean and fresh. These type of portraits make a great stretch canvas or include 3 or 4 or more photographs in the one frame for something different.

Recent Studio Portrait Session

 

Just a few photographs from a recent Studio Session, there were hundreds to choose from as she enjoyed having her photograph taken. Changing into different outfits made an even bigger choice.

Twins

Yep, these little guys are twins, they were such a laugh to photograph. I would chat away to them and they would be sitting perfect and as soon as you pressed the shutter one would be looking somewhere else, then as soon as you got his attention, the other one would find something else to look at.

High Key Lighting

High key lighting It’s amazing how good lighting can make you skin perfect. I also used one of my own Photoshop actions that I use on nearly every female portrait, including brides. I always soften the skin, remove little blemishes and sharpen the eyes to really make them pop. 

Even top models and celebrities don’t have perfect skin!

William & Kerry’s Wedding

William and Kerry were out to have as much fun as possible, I just loved the gangster theme.

Steve & Shelley’s Wedding

Just a few photographs from Steve and Shelley’s wedding day as promised. They had a beautiful sunny day at Belfast Castle, not one drop of rain like the week before.

 

Image Portfolio Boxes

How about these as a really different way to displaying your photographs. I am always trying to source something a little bit different when it comes to showing off your portraits.

I started to use these early summer for a few childrens portraits and they have really been popular with couples wanting them for their engagement photographs. Individual matted works of art inside a beautiful custom created box. Image Portfolio boxes are perfect for children, families, newborns or even a signature box for your wedding by placing a mat on every table for your guests to sign photographs from your engagement session.

What’s really cool about these is that you have a say in the colour and design of your portfolio box.

I just photographed a newborn baby and the parents are having four sessions, (one every 3 months) so at the end of the year they will have 16 beautiful matted portraits (4 images from each session) of their babies first year.

Just go to my website and drop me an Email or call me for further details.
