If
your idea of a professional family portrait involves the family
seated statically in front of a coloured background, smiling
stiffly, then prepare to have your preconceptions radically
changed! With family portraiture, as with all of Bruce's photography,
the emphasis is on natural pictures which truly reflect the
individuals' character and lifestyle. His innovative and contemporary
approach produces relaxed family photographs
taken in beautiful locations, personal to you.
Bruce has a natural affinity with
children, not to mention endless patience! He will usually spend
around two hours taking your photographs but you can book him
for the whole day if desired. The photo shoot will be a lot
of fun and when children are enjoying themselves they always
look wonderful! It is worth mentioning that children, especially,
should be dressed in clothes they feel happy in, rather than
items which make them feel restricted or unnatural. It is also
best to avoid clothing with prominent logos or lettering as
these can be distracting and also date the image. If more than
one person is to be photographed, it is a good idea to ensure
everyone's clothing works well together. Muddy, dull colours
are generally best avoided.
After
your shoot, we will arrange a convenient time for you to view
your images and make your selection. Your chosen images will
be assessed for colour and contrast, and expertly retouched
to remove any facial shine, scratches, blemishes or unflattering
lines before printing. Bruce also offers bespoke framing,
including multi aperture mounts, beautiful albums, contemporary
canvas blocks and a wide range of other solutions to compliment
the interior of your home. Throughout the whole process, you
are guaranteed not to receive a hard sell. it is important
to Bruce that your complete portrait experience is an enjoyable
one. This way you will want to return time and time
again!
