Outdoor Family Photography
Relaxed Photoshoots in Nature With a Professional Family Photographer
for family’s in Essex and Hertfordshire
As much as I enjoy taking photographs in the studio, I also enjoy taking the studio outside, and literally working outside the box! And I think kids prefer it too.
Some children are naturals in front of the camera, to be sure. But after photographing lots of families, I can promise that most children will start a little shy, then become a little bit cheeky, before they become their natural self. As both a parent and a photographer, I’ve seen it all!
The number one thing I enjoy about running family documentary-style photography sessions outdoors is that children warm up to the camera faster when they are outside.
Kids need to feel comfortable, be allowed time to get used to having their photograph taken, and start to enjoy being the star of the show – which happens much faster when we’re out taking photographs out and about.
And I get to capture beautiful moments between you and your children, occasionally asking you to hold a pose, but mostly allowing all of you to just be yourselves.
When you are ready I am happy to answer any questions you may have about an outdoor family portrait session with me on 01279 433392.

THE FUN PART!
Viewing your portraits is THE best bit of the whole experience. This is where you get to see the moments we captured, and your portraits are projected larger than life in your own private film screening.
During your appointment, you will be able to select as few or as many portraits as you desire (be prepared to love most of them!) and then you choose how you’d like them to be displayed in your home.

Studio Location
Every family photoshoot takes place within the grounds of my studio at Parndon Mill, Harlow, Essex.
This out-of-town riverside location has plenty of free parking, and the odd sheep or duck.
I operate on a by appointment basis to ensure that each family has the time they need with me.
GOT SOME
QUESTIONS?
What should we wear for our outdoor family photoshoot?
I would dress for comfort and warmth, as outdoor photoshoots tend to be more relaxed, so the clothing should match. As in the studio, it is best to avoid loud patterns or clashing colours.
Where does the outdoor portrait experience take place?
In the private grounds at Parndon Mill, Harlow.
What happens if it rains?
I’ll get wet! No, seriously we’ll review the weather on the day of the portrait experience, and agree on a plan, rescheduling if appropriate. Often the weather does something different to anticipated.
How long will the session last?
Allow up to an hour.
What colours work based for family photos?
It’s best to dress in similar tones. Use nature for your inspiration. If it’s cooler use layers to keep you warm, rather than a bulky coat.
Still have a question?
Please drop me a line here.

HEY THERE
“I’m Sue & I’m passionate about helping you to tell your family’s story in photographs.”
I absolutely believe you should print the photos that you love, hang them on the wall and enjoy them everyday.
Someone once said to me “digitals are temporary, prints are generational.” And it’s true.
I offer both options and will guide you through each step of your portrait experience, at my studio in Harlow, Essex.
As a mother myself, I know how priceless those framed photos of my daughter are. And I want the same for you.
let's start a conversation!
