Mousa came into my Headshot and Portrait Studio in Bournemouth for some updated headshots for LinkedIn, but stayed for an impromptu portrait session. Headshots should really be updated every couple of years so I’m not expecting Mousa back for more headshots anytime soon. But he really enjoyed our shoot, so hopefully we’ll be working together again in the next few months on another portrait session in Bournemouth.

Peter came to my portrait studio in Bournemouth to update his online presence and to get some images he could use for marketing and on his website. Peter is an award winning comedian, magician and public speaker

Samantha got in touch with me to update her modelling and headshot portfolio for modelling and acting castings.

Why Documentary Family Photography? The most significant family pictures are the most unguarded ones - the important ones always seem to be made in the smaller, quieter moments.

It's unlikely that Izzy will be able to remember these specific moments with her Grandad when she's much, much older. But she will have these. How it was with her Grandad back then. How upset she used to get when he left for work, looking at the paper with him, feeding 'the babies' with him, how he loves her and the connection they had. And she can show them to her children too. And that's the nature of documentary family photography. It's a legacy, of sorts.

These sessions dispense with the sometimes stuffy formality of traditional studio-based family photography. There's no need to get ready and there's no pressure to 'perform'. Natural family photography sessions that allow the family to do what they want, when they want.
