A great time of year for family portraits this time of year families tend to come together over the lead up to the Christmas period and lots of parties and time for catching up takes place so if you are wanting to get everyone together for a family photo shoot now is the time to start getting everyone together.

My style of photograph is very relaxed and natural so not to much posing however I will guide and direct you so you do not feel like a lemon in front of the camera. Props are welcome to be used in the photographs however keeping the photographs simple always works well so bright colour tops or patterns work great. Seen as it is getting colder this time of year you may wish to add items such as hats and scarfs to the images to create a autumn style shoot and of course wellington boots for little ones is always a great look in camera.

I recently photographed the Bradshaw family and gang in Southampton, we had the most amazing weather in the morning and I used the family back garden for our photographic background. The shoot was very relaxed and natural capturing the whole family together as well as smaller groups worked really well here are a few images from the family shoot.
