Our Summer Photo Shoot

Since our family is not going on holiday this year, we have chosen to use the money we've saved for an exciting adventure - an outdoor portrait session.

Our kids aren't going to be this size for long and Autumn is almost one already. Therefore we want to capture this stage in our life with some amazing images that are going to last a lifetime, even though our kids childhoods won't! So on August 8th (please pray for sunshine), Warren and I will be packing up the kids and heading to a local nature spot where we will be having a family portrait session with the amazing Elizabeth Boyle.

Autumn and I had a portrait session with Elizabeth Boyle earlier in the year when she volunteered her time at our local toddler group just before Easter, and the photos were amazing. Extraordinary considering I had no make up on and rain-washed hair!

We have given her a HUGE list of shots we want captured during our session and she's not even batted an eyelid, despite the list being about as long as most brides photography requirements. Yes, she does weddings too!

Her packages and print prices are more than reasonable and given that she knows the local area so well, she has been able to choose a fantastic location for our shots. All we need to worry about, is what we're all going to wear - and being on time!

I had a family portrait session with Rebecca, Daisy and Ella years ago and could not afford to buy a single picture. Warren had one with Ethan and Ashley a couple of years ago and despite there being many great images, he could only get a handful. With Elizabeth Boyle, I know that is not going to be the case at all. I will be able to afford every single image and having seen her previous work, I know they are going to be amazing. She manages to turn modern photography around, to make classic images that look effortless, relaxed and fun.

The best part, is that I've seen her in action for myself, and I've seen just how easily she manages to get children to relax and engage, probably thanks to her vast experiences of photographing her own kids.

If you'd like to capture some amazing memories of your family this year, without the need of a selfie stick, then why not book your family in for a fun portrait session with Elizabeth Boyle Photography!
