Family Photographer Shere Surrey

Nov 30, 2017

Family Photographer Shere Surrey

I really adore these two girlies and their Mummy too! It was so exciting to be asked to photograph my dear friend Amice and her gorgeous girls. I last photographed them three years ago. We did the family photography shoot in their garden in Shere Surrey. This was a perfect idea, so personal and familiar to the girls. They loved showing me all their favourite places to play. In addition the autumn colours provided us with the perfect backdrop. We couldn’t help but have a great time!

You may notice that the girls changed clothe. Which is an option for any family photography shoot. It has the advantage of giving you a new look. Which it certainly did when I persuaded the girls to get into the flowerbed amongst the red branches! I knew the colours would work well, the red looks so striking.

Amice was thrilled with her family portraits and I can’t wait to deliver her frames, all in time for Christmas!

Family Photographer Reigate Surrey

Oct 20, 2017

I was so happy to be asked to be the family photographer Reigate Surrey for this gorgeous family. The family wanted to celebrate a milestone birthday with some professional family portraits. It was also a lovely opportunity to mark a recent engagement! The family were so lovely. It was very easy capturing them having fun on a walk in Shere on a Saturday morning. The family used to visit Shere when the children were younger. It’s a popular spot for feeding the ducks, my children love it there! So we enjoyed following the path of the stream and stopping every so often to take pictures where ever they fancied.

Kind Review

The family kindly said after. “Nicola is an amazing family photographer. She made our family of young adults and us feel very relaxed and captured us at our most natural with great sensitivity and humour. We all treasure our album and series of pictures.”

I am so pleased they are thrilled with the outcome and am very much looking forward to delivering their frames and photography portrait book soon!

Please do encourage your children to keep having their photos taken throughout their teens and twenties. It’s still so important to record their lives what ever age. A teenage, no matter how grumpy doesn’t faze me!! You will always enjoy looking back on their lives what ever stage.

Children’s Headshot Photographer

Sep 26, 2017

If you are looking for a professional children’s headshot photographer, I work all over Surrey. In addition I cover Berkshire and other surrounding counties. It’s always a pleasure to meet aspiring child actors who are looking for some beautiful portraits. For example to use in a variety of ways. I photograph lots of children and adult actors and musicians for auditions. Also professionals wanting a stand out picture for new job opportunities, presentations, company reports and their websites,. Also quite a few people looking for a gorgeous picture for dating websites!

Emily-Anna’s parents approached me to take some headshots for her acting agency (Guildford School of Acting – GSA). GSA at the University of Surrey is one of the most highly regarded theatre schools in the UK. We had great fun taking plenty of pictures to demonstrate a variety of different looks. I encouraged her to think about all sorts of things in order to get the different expressions. This included one of my favourites ‘think of a secret’, I wonder what she was thinking! After we took the pictures we narrowed down our favourites and then sent these in a gallery for her agent to choose. Below is the gallery she saw and the final three favourite edited portraits.

Review

Emily-Anna’s agent at GSA said after “All three of these offer what we were looking to capture in Emily-Anna, it’s quite subtle what we are looking for but we are really pleased with them.”

Glad to hear it! Happy to help and I love these portraits! Good luck in you auditions Emily-Anna!

Godalming Family Photography Shoot

Sep 20, 2017

Children grow so quickly, it seems you blink and you miss a few months! So with this being a milestone year with the family’s eldest child starting secondary school. They wanted to record their story with a Godalming family photography shoot. So they could look back on this stage and enjoy the memories for years to come.

The family chose late summer for their family photography shoot. This was perfect as they were tanned, rested, relaxed and up for enjoying some fun family time! For example, the children really enjoyed showing me their favourite places around the garden. In addition some of the things they loved doing including a few of their favourite hobbies. Of course this makes the shoot all the more fun! Their daughter put on her ballet outfit. She was an absolute natural, I was very impressed.

Kind thoughts

After the session, at the viewing, the family carefully chose several portraits from the photoshoot. These were put in frames around their home which we were all excited to see. I had a lovely review from the family after they were delivered. They sid they thought they were ‘amazing’ which I am thrilled about!

“Nicola took photos of our family in the summer and we were thrilled with the photographs. Throughout the family photography session, the entire family was relaxed and had a lot of fun, creating happy memories. The framed pictures are amazing and I would not hesitate in recommending Nicola.”

Thank you, enjoy guys, it was my pleasure to capture you and I do hope the start of term went well for all the children!

I still have a few Autumn family sessions available so if you are reading this and would like a family photography shoot for yourselves, please do get in touch!

Croydon family photographer

Sep 5, 2017

I loved meeting Bridget and family for their professional Croydon family photographer session which took me slightly further afield than usual to Coombe Wood near Croydon, South London. It was lovely to visit somewhere new, which was so beautiful and perfect for family photography! The family love to walk there so it made for an ideal location for their Croydon family photography shoot especially as the girls were familiar with the garden so could show me where to go! As you can see we had great fun enjoying the summer weather (yes the sun was shinning!) and lots of time to play.

Bridget said after her viewing session, “Thank you for the files…we have really enjoyed looking at the photos again, they are amazing! Thank you again for doing such a fab job. It was so important to me to have lovely pictures of the family before they all grow too big!”

My pleasure Bridget the girls were great, you should be very proud! Keep in touch and hope to see you again in the future!

Teenage Portrait Photographer Surrey

Aug 21, 2017

It was great to catch up with these siblings from Guildford in Surrey for their second teenage portrait photographer session with me. It’s so lovely to see so many returning families. It’s great to build a relationship with the family and be part of documenting their journey to adulthood. I always enjoy the variety of people I photograph from bumps, to babies. Then through to toddlers, young children, teens and adult professionals. It’s fun to mix it up! In a typical week I am photographing all of these different groups!

My August sessions are full, but I have limited availability in September and October, so get in touch soon if you’re looking for a professional photographer. Many thanks.

Portrait Photographer Guildford

Jun 23, 2017

I enjoy working all over the South of England. But my easiest (well closest!) commute is when I am chosen as a portrait photographer Guildford! On a particularly hot Saturday in June I met this gorgeous family from Cranleigh in Surrey for their family photography photoshoot. Even though the temperatures were soaring we kept our cool and ambitiously climbed Chinthurst Hill near Guildford. We took some pictures as we climbed up and were all rather relieved to have got to the top for a rest. Additionally a chance to admire the stunning views over the Surrey Hills. We even managed a few running races. We all looked forward to cooling down and much deserved ice creams after!

There are so many beautiful locations for photoshoots in Surrey. You are welcome to choose somewhere that is special to you. Maybe a place your children love to go. Or a dog walk that is a favourite. If there is no where in particular, I am happy to make some suggestions. It will probably depend on you location and the time year. For example Winkworth Arboretum in the Autumn.

It’s not long until the children break up from school and we are all getting very excited! We are off on holiday as soon as they break up. Then are around for a few weeks whilst I work (so many summer shoots booked in!). We finish off with a week in Devon staying in a rather cool looking yurt! Bring it on, let’s just hope the sun shines on us all!

Surrey Professional Photographer

Jun 20, 2017

I adored this large family photography session. It took place in the gardens of St Augustine’s Abbey in Blackheath near Guildford in Surrey. It was a very special place for the couple as they got married here in the 90s! They had an idea to use a Surrey professional photographer to capture them all those years later. Of course this time it was with their three children and two of their fiances! Little would they have known how wondferul their marriage path would be. Or how blessed they’d be with three gorgeous children and their partners. It was fun recreating their pose from their wedding day in the Abbey arch.

Mum kindly said after. ” For my husband’s 60th birthday, we decided to organise a family photo shoot in the grounds of the church where we were married. Nicola was very creative in her ideas for both group and individual pictures. She was friendly, upbeat and patient throughout the session. She also put everyone at their ease. We will cherish the photos and memories. I would highly recommend her.”

Such lovely words thank you!I really enjoyed reading your review.

Professional Surrey Photographer

Jun 7, 2017

Are you looking for a professional Surrey photographer? I’d love to help if you have a family that you would like to capture. Or perhaps you have a need for some professional headshots or commercial photography requirements?

I love taking on projects of all types, and I am delighted to share this professional Surrey photographer shoot. It took place from last month where we shot on St Martha’s Hill in Surrey. It’s a well loved local beauty spot where the family enjoy spending time. Popular for walking, running and cycling. The views from the top are very rewarding which is a relief as the walk up can be quite tiring. Although we cheated a bit by using the car park half way up! When I take my children up there, I usually have to incentivise them with a promise of an ice cream after! No bribery was required on this day though and we all had a great time!

With smaller children I sometimes offer little smarties if we need a little incentive. I also have an impressive bag full of stickers to tempt any little girl or boy. They always love choosing at the end.

Surrey Hills

I am a huge lover of the countryside and particular fan of the Surrey hills. You are never short of things to do from great walks to bike trails and orienteering. Although I have to admit the latter is not totally my bag! I seem to always be the one holding the map upside down, although since using apps on my phone we get less lost these days!

Dorking Family Photographer

May 9, 2017

I am pretty sure you can hear the laughter from just looking at the pictures from this Dorking family photographer session. The children get on so well and clearly adore their parents, their close relationships were evident throughout the morning. The family love bluebells so we picked a really quiet woods. Luckily we didn’t see a single other person so we had the whole place to ourselves. The children loved to mess about, climb trees, check out a den and have a few running races!

I really adore all flowers, but in particular bluebells! I always get excited when I see them appearing in the woods next to our house. When you look out of the window it looks like an endless carpet of blue, it looks so magical! We always look for fairies when I take my children. Or make us stories as we tread careful through the paths. You don’t want to disturb the flowers too much otherwise they might not come up again. It’s important to teach the children to respect nature. Mine loving flowers and growing them. We are even trying a few vegetables this year. We will have to see how they go! Better remember to water them!

It was great that we had their Auntie along too as she was brilliant fun and had the best sense of humour. I wanted to borrow her for my afternoon shoot as she was great at making the children laugh with her funny jokes! She had us all in stitches! I can’t wait to deliver their frames, they will look stunning and I am sure they will enjoy them everyday.
