Family Photographs in Chelmsford, Essex
I’m so excited to share this shoot with you. I just adore this family! I first met Paola and Dinnish back in 2017 when I photographed their beautiful wedding. We instantly clicked and I loved spending the day with them and celebrating their marriage. We’ve kept in touch and over the years I’ve done so many photoshoots for them and their growing family. Six year old Noah and his little sister, Zahra, are so full of life! They are joyful and so cheeky! It’s always a pleasure to join them for an adventure and take some photographs.
Danbury Country Park family portraits
One of my favourite things about my job is that I am able to see families grow and change over the years. From photographing a wedding through to newborn shoots and then family portraits. It’s such an honour to be trusted with these precious memories and I certainly don’t take it for granted.
The last 12 months really brought it home how much I love spending time with my regular families, catching up with them, hearing their news and meeting new additions - both human and furry! I’ve missed everyone and was so excited when lockdown was eased and we were finally able to schedule Paola and Dinnish’s next family session.
We decided to meet up at Danbury Country Park. The park is the perfect spot for portraits. Noah and Zahra just love being outdoors. They adore exploring and climbing trees and were in their element!
I’m a huge advocate for natural family photographs. They capture the essence of your relationships and show off this moment in time like nothing else. Dinnish and Paola really embrace this style of photography, I don’t think we could have got Noah and Zahra to stand still even if we wanted to! We filled the afternoon with play and activities, everyone raced around chasing each other, swinging off branches and having the best time. By the end of the shoot my face was aching from smiling so much! Haha their cheeky and mischievous characters bring me so much joy.
What to wear for family photographs
“Help Danielle, we have no idea what to wear!”
This is my most frequently asked question ahead of a family photo shoot! I’ve answered in more detail over on my family photography page but I just wanted to highlight it here. Dinnish, Paola, Noah and Zahra always coordinate their outfits so perfectly and are a great mix of comfortable, stylish and weather appropriate. You don’t need to be formal for a natural portrait session, I want you to be yourselves and to wear something you feel happy in.
If you love the look of this family shoot and would like me to capture some memories for you then please get in touch, I’d love to hear from you.
