Did you know its World Photography Day today?

13 years ago I had been made redundant, I had become a single parent and had very little money to support myself and my daughter. I felt I was in a big hole too big to get out of, I felt so helpless and hopeless. It was then I decided to take one of the biggest risk’s I have ever taken in my life and do what I had always secretly wanted to do (but not had the courage to do it) and that was to become a photographer.

With the love, help and support of family & friends and a small bank loan I started my journey. Its been at times a very challenging road to follow (especially through Covid) its also been moving, funny, surprising, rewarding and interesting. It’s taken me out of my comfort zone, and at times pushed me to my limits both physically and emotionally, but I am still here and I have never ever regretted a single moment of it.

My life now is very different, I am so grateful to have a loving partner, have my own photography studio and still have the love and excitement of taking pictures. So today has some meaning for me, it reminds me of how photography helped change my life and for the better and for that I will always be truly thankful.

Heres a pic of me with my first entry level pro camera.

Family shoots don’t have to be limited to my studio I can visit you at home or we can take pics at a favourite location of yours. Running along Mersea beach splashing in the sea or paddling in the stream at Friday woods or in your own garden. For more info please visit my Family Photography website.

So now it’s the school hols I am offering a great mini shoot to families who want a quick studio shoot without having to break the bank. Throughout August I am offering a studio family shoot for 30 mins which includes lots of different fun poses and a choice of one high resolution digital image (jpeg) which can be shared, copied and printed with your friends and family. For more info click on an image or go to The Family Photographer. 

Had the pleasure of photographing these two little men the other day, they were so cute. My family photography mini sessions start from only £45 to find out more go to my family photography website.

Spending so much time in my studio it’s a refreshing change to go and shoot outside. The beach is a great place to head with young children you don’t need many props just let them have fun and explore as long as it’s not too cold or chucking it down with rain it’s perfect for getting natural shots. Take a look at my site The Family Photographer to find out more.

I am inviting families in to my Colchester studio to have a family photo shoot during December & January. I only have one w.end left dates are getting booked up quick. So if you are interested let me know as soon as possible. Click on the image below to go to my family website to see examples of my work. Email: lindsay@thefamilyphotographer.co.uk

I love taking pictures of brothers, sisters and different generations, I try to make my photography about capturing something of that special relationship. Thankfully gone are the days of tense formal family shots, I invite my clients to think imaginatively about their images before the shoot but if they feel like they have no ideas and are nervous about posing then that’s fine too as I am used to helping people pose.

I just wanted to let you know that my new family photography site is now up and running, please take a look and let me know what you think by clicking on the link below this image.
