RELAXED OUTDOOR FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

Family Photography

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.

Family photography is part of all my portrait experiences, but as my studio is small I offer this option for family’s with older kids.

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. 

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.

A session booking fee of £125 is payable when you book, and then it is whatever you choose to invest in your photographs on top.

Are You Ready to Celebrate Your Family?

With everyone’s busy schedules, we know how hard it can be to carve out the time for family photos.

Planning a photo session when life is planning is a challenge.  

Yet so many Mums say to us that they regretted not having family pictures taken, and yes it is an investment, but it’s one that will become more precious with time.

Plus you’ll enjoy looking back on these photos. 

At Sue Kennedy Photography, we have designed our family sessions to capture everyone’s portrait and provide you with a relaxed experience full of memories that will last a lifetime.

At this moment, you can genuinely see the Love and Connection you have as a family.

THE PROBLEM IS TIME

Specifically, when you don’t make the time, the weeks pass by and suddenly your kids are choosing universities or starting their careers, and you’ve missed out on capturing their childhood.

NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME

WALL ART AND PORTRAIT BOXES

TELL YOUR VISUAL STORY

Most clients opt for wall art, either as a single photograph or a collection of photographs together in a frame for their wall at home. Those that do not want to hang wall art have the option of filling a portrait box with their favourite photos. A final option is a combination of the two, perfect for when it’s just too hard to choose. All options come with matching digital files to make sharing with family easier.

Art For Your Walls

Display your favourite photo or a collection of photos on your wall at home. Hanging portraits at home is a great way to show your children how important they are to you, and they become more of a talking point as they grow.

Portrait Box

Perfect for those that want individual mounted prints. Simply choose your favourite 10, 15 or 20 photographs for display in your portrait box and customise the cover with your baby’s name.

My collections offer the best value and enable you to have a wall art collection, AND a portrait box of your favourites as individual prints with matching digital files.

Family Photoshoot FAQ’s

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 colour work best 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.

WHERE IS THE PHOTO STUDIO LOCATED?

Parndon Mill, Harlow, Essex

Nestled on the outskirts of Harlow, in open countryside, our studio location is a surprise and delight to many. With plenty of parking, and a beautiful riverside location making for a relaxing place to visit for your portrait photoshoot.

HEY THERE

“I’m Sue & I’m thrilled 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.
