Family Photography Question

How many Family Photographs do you have that every one is in the photograph? Who is usually behind the camera? Mom or Dad?

Some one missing from a family photograph means it’s not a family photograph… it’s a photograph that has every one in it but a family member that is critical to that family and the composition of that family.

It’s really difficult to recreate moments when you don’t have everyone in the photograph. What the heck was Dad thinking wearing those pants? Or those crazy sideburns he had that year. The point is the person behind the camera should not be a person that belongs in the photograph.

I know there are occasions other than Christmas and weddings  where the whole family gathers together and we cover those events! We love doing family reunions or family gatherings. It isn’t something that requires a huge amount of time. Each family has access to all of the images online and on disc and if each family is splitting the cost it really is a value you can’t pass by.

 

Family Fun at Jinney Ring

Another fun family shoot at Jinney Ring! This family is one of the first families I shoot with Vanessa when I came over before I moved here. The Steads have three beautiful children now and there were only 2 when I first met them, well to be fair the little one was due so I guess it was 2 1/2 children

The kids are happy and full of energy and the two older siblings love their little sister and it really shows! When it came to getting the little one to smile they were right behind us making faces and noises and thanks to them we got some great shots!!

 

 

Thank You to the Stead family for sharing some time with us!

Christening For George!

July 3rd we attending the Christening for George and what a beautiful day it was! The weather was picture perfect and George was decked out in a Christening gown that had been in his family for quite sometime.

Traditions are what family is all about isn’t it? Yes his party was unique to him but his gown shares a history that will be passed on – just like his photographs. To be a part of his day is as always an honor and a privilege one that we take very seriously.

We are happy to share a few images from this special day!

Rumor has it she baked it herself!

Welcome George! Thank You for allowing us to be a part of your day!

 

Family Montages

I have always loved creating Montages, using images to tell a story or share a group of images in one place. Often times you may only have a place for one really great photograph on your wall, or you may have several photographs that you really love and want to share and can’t narrow it done to one photograph.

These Montages that I have created are based on being a parent having a collection of images and limited wall space. So I took a few shots from the Best family portrait shoot that Vanessa did and came up with three different Montages or Composites as some folks refer to them.

They are for the family of course but as a photographer and editor of photographic images I chose these as favorites from a series of images. I also snuck one Montage in there that might have a sentimental twist to it   Rather than embarrass myself and say which one it is I will leave it up to your imagination in the event the message didn’t make it through

We can do these for any of our clients or if you have a group of old photographs your trying to figure out something to do with them we can scan your old images and create something special just for you!

I hope you enjoy these! 

The designs are varied and original on all of our Montages/Composites as we design from the experience we had with each client and no size fits all. We take your input and suggestions and following your lead we design a one of a kind piece of family art!

Thank You for being here and we look forward to hearing from you!

The Thacker Family at Mary Stevens Park

Vanessa and I met the Thacker family at Mary Stevens Park on Sunday the 19th for a family portrait shoot. We had great weather and the temperature was perfect! The two boys were active and having a great time playing as we photographed them. Mum & Dad even got in on the fun towards the end of the shoot.

We had a really great time with a really great family! We look forward to working with them and all of our Foreverly Families again in the not to distant future!

Meet the Thacker Family!

The Best Family Photo Shoot

Vanessa and the Best family met up at Hanbury Hall for a portrait session with Claire, Adam, Oli & Meg  and what a great time it was! The weather was perfect and the children really seemed to enjoy themselves.

Oli & Meg played and had a relaxed fun time while Vanessa worked away without interrupting them or putting them into awkward poses. This is the style and approach that Foreverly Photography has always used for our family photo shoots.

We can and often still do the traditional posed family photo sessions. The feedback we received from our clients with younger children was that they preferred our relaxed approach and the comfortable environment we create for the whole family. The photographs of the children are more natural and capture the personality of the child as well as the dimples and grins!

Vanessa and I are both parents with children ranging for 3 months to 16 we have a lot of experience with children both behind and in front of the camera. We do whatever it takes to make everyone feel comfortable!  

We have scheduled two days of “Family Mini Shoots” as those dates are just about full we are considering adding a third day. If your interested stop by our Foreverly Photography Facebook Page for more details and client comments!

I hope you enjoy meeting the Best family as much as we did!
