Bella and Josh: Family Photography in Woodbridge, Suffolk

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Woods really are one of the best places to photograph children, especially those that like to find sticks, climb trees and generally let off steam! This family shoot with Arabella (9) and Joshua (7) started in the garden and moved on to the woods nearby. Great fun all round!

This session also shows that sometimes children don’t feel like playing ball for a more posed family group but nine times out of ten if you let them take the lead, you end up with something less conventional and that gets across their spirit tens times better - see below!

Here are a few highlights, but it’s been hard to choose.  The first couple here are definitely destined for my website and will be firm favourites from 2009:

Family Photography in Woodbridge, Suffolk: Rogers’ Family

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

It’s 2 years since I photographed the Rogers’ girls: Emily (now 17) and twins Caroline and Laura (15) and it was lovely to see and spend some time with them again.

We shot most of the images in a wonderfully atmospheric place - Felixstowe Ferry - where I’ve always imagined it would be great to photograph teenagers. We weren’t disappointed and had a lovely sunny sunday morning hanging out amongst all the boating bric a brac, in the cafe and down by the sea before heading back home to join mum, dad and dogs Callie and Earnest for a few family groups. Top marks to the dogs for posing so obediently!

Obviously the twins share the same birthday but amazingly so does Emily - all three children born on April 28th. How neat is that! But there the similarity ends as you will see in the pictures below:
