Leeds Family Photographer

Family Photographer In Leeds, West Yorkshire

Family Photography is so very important and yet hugely underrated. No doubt you’ll have a thousand photos of the kids, but what about you? So many parents are constantly absent from family photos because they’re the ones busy taking them or worse “don’t want to be in it”. When your children are older, they’ll want family photos of all of you to look back on.

As the saying goes “If you think photos aren’t important, wait until they’re all you have”.

My approach to each session as a family photographer is relaxed and unobtrusive. Whilst I do give gentle direction, I’ll mostly be there to capture your family moments exactly as they happen. Every photoshoot can be totally tailored to suit your family, if you love being outdoors, grab your coat and boots and we’ll get some gorgeous family portraits in the woods.
If you’re more of a snuggle at home family, I’ll come and document those cosy moments on your very own sofa.

FAQs

Family photoshoots can be done at my studio, in the comfort of your own home/garden or out on location. Most of my clients pick a location photoshoot. This is often a favourite place/walking spot for you & your family. I’ll happily suggest some great locations if you’re stuck! It’s also worth thinking about sunrise/sunset times as we want to avoid high sun/harsh shadows for your photoshoot.

I always advise clients to keep it simple! Go for earthy/muted tones, avoid big logos or distracting prints which can often dominate photos, but most importantly, wear something that feels comfortable and feels like you! It’s always important to dress for the weather as well. If it’s been raining a lot & we’re going to be in woodland – sandals are probably a no go!

As above, we want to avoid high sun/midday photos as this can create harsh lighting and shadows which aren’t flattering. If it’s a cloudy day – time doesn’t matter as we avoid the aforementioned. However if you happen to get good weather I’d suggest first thing in the morning – around 9am before shadows get too harsh, or late evening – around 7pm in summer so we get that lovely soft sunset.

My style of photography is very natural. This includes lack of props/additions to the photoshoot so please don’t feel the need to bring anything. My sessions are about you and your nearest and dearest – not silly accessories etc. It’s all about the relationship between you and those natural moments and interactions. However bribery in the form of treats for kids and dogs alike is always a good idea!
