Family Portraits

"I find it fascinating that photographs become more valuable as time passes. Their true value is a gift to be discovered by our children in years to come. Imagine the look on their faces when they’re snuggled up with THEIR children looking through the album of photographs from this very moment. That is something very, very special.”

I adore working with families to produce images that are totally YOU. I want to tell YOUR STORY. Together we work out your personal session plan, so whenever you see your photographs, you immediately get that warm, happy feeling of YES, THAT’S US.

 

But your actual session is only half of the story. 

 

Turning your photographs into stunning pieces of art for the home of my family clients is something I adore. It means that the photographs we have crafted together become a part of your family, up on your walls for you and your loved ones to enjoy day after day. Do you have a modern minimalist home? The vibrant Alumini metal print or a stunning liquid glass Acrylic would be perfect for you. Can’t decide on your favourite image? A series of smaller prints telling a story will look gorgeous on the wall in your stairway. A simply decorated bedroom? A panoramic frame would look incredible above your headboard. The pieces of artwork we create together will become part of your family’s story, and put your loved ones in pride of place on your walls.

 

I have a specially curated collection of beautiful frames, textured wall art and luxury albums to showcase your photographs. With high attention to detail, I ensure each image is the best it can be before it goes to print; although I keep retouching minimal, I do understand that sometimes, especially for us ladies, we may want a blemish or shadow removed! 

 

When you are one of my clients, not only are you getting my skills as a Photographer, you’re getting a Stylist, Director, Entertainer, Designer and Artist too! And that’s just why I ADORE my job. 

​

So, how can I help?!​

With love, Rachel xx
