I was asked by their Dad to produce a nice photo of all three of them to put onto a canvas as a birthday present for his wife. Having spent the majority of the day at Lightwater Valley, we only had a short window of time to produce something. 5pm on a drizzly dark overcast evening isn’t the best time to shoot portraits really as the light wasn’t exactly great. To combat this I wandered around their garden looking for good backdrops that would fit all three of them in. Decided to use my off camera lighting to brighten them up and avoid the photos looking dull and flat. This added a much needed pop to the images and you can now barely tell that it was a pretty miserable day. I’d already done a shoot with the two sisters so when their brother returned from London we got together to make something nice for Mother’s Day.
Had a great time shooting them besides the weather and their Mum was over the moon with the finished results and they now have two canvases hanging proudly around the house.
Portraits of families make great presents for parents. If you’ve got an upcoming birthday that you need a present for then get in touch to discuss how I can help.

How specialising in a certain type of photography has added value to my business.
I'm Chris and I'm a Yorkshire Wedding Photographer based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. With a documentary approach I try to define my style as unobtrusive and photojournalistic, allowing you to relax and have fun confident in the knowledge that you'll have beautiful reportage photographs that capture all the big and little moments you might miss during your wedding day. My background in film means I always aim to make each image tell a story about the day. I'm not merely checking off a list of shots, but at the same time I'm not intruding on your wedding day barking orders. As well as being a Wedding Photographer, I also create modern and stylish portrait photography that goes beyond your usual cheesy grins and white backgrounds and provides you with fresh vibrant storytelling photography.
