My favourite golden hour shoot

My biggest lockdown discovery was this gorgeous giant daisy field by the River Chess near Chorleywood. It was absolutely stunning and because it was such a warm sunny May I ended up spending many an evening here photographing families during golden hour. This I have to say was my favourite golden hour shoot. Alexa, Elodie & Milena were amazing little models. They arrived perfectly styled and stole the show!

All three of the Duncan girls model professionally for Kids London! Here’s a little bit of their story from their mum, Nicola.

“Alexa started modelling when she was 5yrs old. I did a family shoot with a local photographer and she really enjoyed it so we sent a couple of pictures to an agency. All three girls are now signed with Kids London Model Management, who are one of the best agencies in the UK.”

“They have had some fantastic opportunities working with brands such as Boden, Marie Chantal, Mini Rodini & Benedita. They have walked in shows at London Kids Fashion week and been on the covers of children’s fashion magazines. Last year Alexa appeared in a music video and a TV advert for a Disney CD. These experiences have been valuable in teaching the girls about listening to direction, understanding the desired outcomes of a shoot and working together with other children and adults.”

“In the midst of the Black Lives Matter movement it’s opened my eyes to just how valuable the modelling world has been to teaching my daughters about valuing diversity.  They have met and worked with so many inspiring people.”

I cannot wait to do more golden hour portraits at this gorgeous wild flower field. If you would like to reserve a space for next year get in touch!

Evening portraiture photography

I wanted to showcase this gorgeous photoshoot at my favourite lockdown find, a stunning giant daisy field between Sarratt and Chorleywood. Situated by the River Chess it really does your breath away!

These two were fantastic and lots of fun! They even brought along their pet dog and why not!

You could really see what a strong bond these two have. It was lovely and it really shows in all the photos.

If you would like to book a photoshoot get in touch as I have so many locations in Hertfordshire & Buckinghamshire which would be perfect! These gorgeous daisies are gone now for this year but they will be back early next May. I currently have some wild flower & woodland locations and I am looking for that perfect sunflower field. Also Hitchin Lavender Farm is now open so I will be doing some mini shoots there.

Pets are very welcome to my photoshoots. I’ve photographed horses, dogs, cats and even a pig! I love pet photography .

Golden hour family photoshoot

Lots of lovely Hertfordshire families have been celebrating lockdown with a social distanced family photoshoot. It has been so much fun working again and actually seeing some different faces. My favourite lockdown find was a beautiful giant daisy field between Sarratt and Chorleywood. It really will take your breath away!

This gorgeous family came along for one of my beautiful golden hour shoots. This is when the warm lighting is the most flattering for natural light portrait photography. The diffused light at gives the skin a soft look. I love the backlit hair and the warm glow. It is a magical time and I’ve been so happy with every photoshoot.

Like many families life just gets so busy! They had been meaning to do a shoot for years but never quite getting around to doing one so this was the perfect opportunity.

Our lives as we knew them have changed so much, we suddenly gained all this extra family time and were forced to get back to the more simple life. What a way to remember lockdown. These photos show the amazing bond, love and closeness. They are memories that they will cherish forever and aren’t these kids the cutest?

Golden hour mummy & baby photoshoot

I’ve actually been very busy the last couple of weeks photographing lots of lovely families at a fabulous new location during golden hour. Its a beautiful giant daisy field near Chorleywood and it will take your breath away!

The perfect time to photograph there is between 8 & 9pm when the warm lighting is the most flattering for natural light portrait photography. The diffused light at gives the skin a soft look and your subject can face the sun without squinting, so they're bathed in beautiful light. I also like to have my subject pose with their back to the sun so that they’ll be surrounded by a warm glow. It really is a magical time and I’ve been so happy with every photoshoot.

During lockdown a lot of new parents have missed out on the chance of having their newborn shoot so it was lovely to do this mummy and baby shoot for Fay.

What a way to remember lockdown. These photos really show the strong bond and overwhelming love between mummy and baby. If you would like a golden hour photoshoot get in touch as I have so many locations in Hertfordshire which would be perfect!

Beautiful golden hour portrait photography

I have been loving getting back to work and doing my golden hour family photoshoots. The location is at a beautiful giant daisy field near Sarratt, Hertfordshire and it really will take your breath away!

It's best to photograph here is when the sunlight isn't so harsh. Many people love to shoot during golden hour. This is the time right after sunrise, or right before sunset. During these periods the light is soft, warm and very flattering. It has a magical feel and the pictures speak for themselves.

My family portrait sessions are very relaxed. It is very important to stick to the social distancing measures so this is a perfect location for a photography shoot as its outside in a huge open field. The location is remote and often completely empty. I love to shoot for far back anyway as I like to use the flowers as foreground. My job is to make you and your family feel totally at ease and I promise you will have amazing photographs that you will love. If you would like to book a shoot get in touch.
