John Waterhouse inspired portraits

I remember standing and staring in awe at the ‘The Lady of Shalott’ when I saw it years ago in a London gallery. It’s a picture I had on my wall when I gave birth to my daughter at home, it’s one of those pictures which has stayed with me through my life. I have always loved the softness of the colours the mystery and the femininity shown in paintings by John Waterhouse. Here are some recent portrait images I took at my studio which were definitely inspired by his beautiful art.

A red haired teenage girl wearing a white dress with red berries in her hair. Looking at the camera holding a small branch with more red berries and green leaves. The image is dark and moody but the red of her hair and the berries make the image pop.
A young woman dressed in white with bare arms holding a thin branch which is spiky and rambling. The woman has long blonde wavy hair which falls to her waist. On her head she has two small antlers, the background is dark and the colours are dark and light with the gold of her blonde hair and white dress in contrast to the darkness of the rest of the image.
A teenage girl with long auburn hair has her arms gently folded and is looking seriously at the camera. She is wearing a dark green velvet jacket which has red and green patterned strips on it. In her hair she has red berries almost like a crown. Her expression is one of innocence and at the same time strength. Holding herself tall she appears to have a quiet confidence.
A young woman is looking off to the side, she is slim and wears a white lacy dress. Her hair is long down to her waist and is loose blonde hair.

Family Photography at my studio in Colchester.

Here are six commonly asked questions by families:

Do you offer w.end or evening shoots? – Yes, I work from 9 am-9 pm Mon-Saturday.

Can we bring our dog? – Yes you can as long as they can make it up five stairs then they are welcome.

When we get high resolution images can we copy them? -Yes you can, once you have bought the digital image from me you can copy it as many times as you like for your friends and family.

Group 1 copy

One of my children is very shy I am worried he won’t play ball on the day – Try not to worry I have had plenty of experience of taking pictures of children in nurseries right through to secondary schools. I have a few tricks up my sleeve to get the giggles going.

How quickly do we get to see our pics? – Within one week usually within a few days, I will send you a link to a gallery online.

Can we buy more prints or digital images after the shoot? – Yes I keep all of my images for up to one year on the same computer so you can order when it suits you.
