Fun Family Portraits in Town

If you read my blog, you will have got to know this beautiful family, since I have photographed their lives from their engagement session to their wedding, pregnancy, baby and family portraits. Jose-Miguel is growing up and they invited me to stay with them in Spain. I posted earlier about a reportage way of capturing their lives together in the small details that makes a home. We also wanted to do a proper session and started impromptu when I spotted an old door  I liked, then moved to a village known for its coloured walls.

Backgrounds don’t have to be complicated. I love rusty doors and flaky paint and look at coloured walls thinking which skin tone or eye colour they would suit best. Usually I shoot in nature but urban shoots can be just as vibrant and colourful. I don’t pose. I might suggest things for you to do, games to play etc, but I am always happy to follow the children’s lead as the photos will be a true reflection of their personalities.

With this approach , kids don’t have to behave. Jose-Miguel is full of energy and very slippery when held, but it has to be fun for him and everyone. The shoot is about having a good time and enjoying each other, and having photos to remember the moment. I shoot from the heart, and photographing people I’ve grown to know and love means everyone is relaxed and has fun.  To learn more about my approach, read here. To enquire about availability for fun family portraits in town or in nature, click here
