Photography for the Fay Family's New Baby by Sam Carter

Website: http://www.samcarterphotography.com/

This week I was asked to take some family portrait photographs to celebrate the arrival of baby Alistair to the Fay family. Grandparents, aunts and uncles joined mum and dad (Cher and Toby) for little Alistair's first photo shoot. Because Alistair was only 3 weeks old I was reluctant to use any flash photography, and even the studio lighting didn't seem to go down too well with him so natural lighting was used in all the shots.

With the exception of a few gripes, baby Alistair was as good as gold and slept through the majority of shots with the aid of a Winnie the Pooh music box!
Babies grow so fast, before you know it they are crawling, walking, starting school and leaving home. Why not stop time, if only for a moment, with a portrait your your little angel (or little devil?). A beautiful portrait will be a wonderful warming addition to your home and something you can treasure for years to come.

Portrait Photography for Nicola Sarnecki by Sam Carter Photography

Last week I ran a portrait photography session for Nicola Sarnecki. The session was a birthday present for Nikki from her Mum and something which Nikki had never done before. The session was great fun. Nikki made my job very easy being very photogenic and comfortable in front of the camera (I myself, like many other photographers, am much happier behind the lens!). We tried a variety of high key shots to reflect Nikki's spirit of fun, and also some outdoors shots to give a more natural portrait. Some of Nikki's friends, her little sister and even the pet rabbit joined in the session which lasted about an hour and a half. A big thank you to Nikki, her family and friends for making me so welcome in their home and making this photography session so much fun.

Photographic portraits make great gifts for your friends and family. If you, like me, get stumped when it comes to Christmas presents for people dear to you, why not give them a gift certificate for one of our portrait packages. Photographic portraits make a fantastic, personal and unusual gift for that someone special. Visit our main website at http://www.samcarterphotography.com/ for details of all our portrait packages.
