Early Autumn in the Forest
After a night of heavy rain and wind it is a beautiful sunny day and we decided to make the most of the sun and have a long walk at Fritham. The first signs of autumn are appearing as the bracken turns gold and dies back. A few leaves ar drifting down off the trees but most are still green. We saw some deer running in the woods but it is a little early to hear the Bucks calling.

Handy Portrait Tips!
Preparation for your Family Portrait.
Always decide what type of sitting you'd like to have, your Purpose...
Individual - Perfect for special occasions and presents for parents.
Family - Capture the smiles and joy of the entire family!
Group - Two or more people, catch those siblings interacting and playing!
Group pictures are the perfect gifts for relatives!
Combinations - capture the smiles of your children individually, as well as some
poses together. Don't forget to include yourself in some of these portraits,
an individual portrait taken with Mom or Dad let's them know how special they
are! Select a time that works best with your family's schedule. Are your
children typically more relaxed in the morning or afternoon? Generally...
children photograph best when they are well rested and fed.
Also what style would you like?
Decide the type of "look" you want, e.g., classical, casual, contemporary, candid etc.
Children's Portraits...
Let their personalities shine through! personalise your portraits by bringing a special
book, project or favorite toy.
Young toddlers are sometimes the trickiest to prepare. They quickly pick up on stress
and may become nervous, so always keep it fun and don't rehearse the sitting. Arrive
early and let the photographer get to know your child. When selecting clothing, keep
in mind what everybody is wearing to keep harmony with the overall look.
Family Portraits...
Keep it fun fun fun! Remember, children will quickly pick up on stress!
Avoid the last minute rush by preparing your clothing early.
While family portraits are very special, don't forget to take this opportunity to have
a portrait taken of you and your partner together. Have the photographer take individual
shots of each of the children, as well as all of the siblings together. Have a special
portrait taken with Mom and the children for Dad's desk at work, and vice-versa.
When selecting clothing, keep in mind what everybody is wearing to keep harmony with
the overall look. If in doubt always bring a backup in the car handy.
Lights! Camera! Action!
Bring a brush and wipes to tame fly-away strands of hair, dribbles etc...
For toddlers, bring a dry snack and drink, something that will not soil their clothes.
Arrive a few minutes early. Don't let last minute traffic and delays create stress for
this important event! Let the photographer interact with your child to make him/her more
comfortable. If your child cries, don't worry our photographers can usually stop the tears
within moments! Most importantly, have fun! A professional portrait is meant to capture
the moment, and not force it!
