Bespoke Lifestyle Shoots
September 24, 2014Are you looking for bespoke, natural family portraits? Or perhaps you need chic headshots for your website?
Recently I was comissioned by the lovely Emma at Little Style Fix to create a set of beautiful
lifestyle images of her, and her wonderful children for her blog and website. We discussed the style Emma wanted, and I planned a route around East London to compliment the inspirational images she
provided me with.
We began by photographing Emma alone, focusing on capturing a range of really stunning headshots and full length images of the stylist doing what she does best - looking fantastic! If you would love a similair session, but worry that you might not feel as confident, not a worry. I know just how
awkward it can be stood in front of a camera, being rather photo-shy myself! I spend time making my clients feel as comfortable as possible, and will guide you through flattering, natural poses to help you look and feel your absoloute best.
Emma brought three seperate outfits (including some fabulous accessories) to the shoot, which really allowed us to play and produce a series of different looks for her to pick from. After creating fun, smart-casual graffiti shots, we moved on to a new, classy location a short walk away, and Emma changed into more formal wear. Here we used a selection of beautiful antique looking streets and doorways to change the mood of the shoot entirely.
As a commercial photographer and art director it is my job to know unique, special locations around the city for various projects. This helps me discover and reccomend areas that I feel will suit you and your family perfectly. However, if you would like me to visit your home or studio just let me know and it will be arranged happily!
After achieving a selection of gorgeous images of Emma alone, she collected her family, and we began photographing her children too. I have lots of experience with children of all ages, right through from babies (the youngest being a 2 day old newborn) to teenagers. I have lots of tricks (mainly
compromising of bubbles and stickers) that will help get the very best from your kids.
After your shoot your selected images are professionally retouched, and can be provided as digital files, prints or frames.
