Let us celebrate Mum!
Happy Mother’s Day everyone! Mum took centre
stage in the studio this week as families brought in their loved ones to
celebrate this special day!
Kalelle and her family came in for a
beautiful shoot to celebrate multiple generations including mum Christine and
Grandma Margaret! What was particularly special about this shoot was that Christine
and Margaret did a photoshoot together when they were younger, and Kalelle
wanted to recreate this across three generations!
Love spanning across three generations |
It was a wonderful moment capturing the
relationship between these beautiful women and their closeness spanning across
the generations. It was an organic and natural shoot that didn’t require any
props, just the love and smiles shared between them, and the results were
stunning!
With such a beautiful selection of photos to
choose from, including the generation shots and others with the other family
members, Kalelle and her family decided to display theirs in one of our
beautiful portfolio boxes!
Creating beautiful family memories was
particularly important for Angela, her husband Lee and their two sons Joseph
and Samuel, as young Samuel struggles with epilepsy. It was very important to
us to capture their close family bond as well as empower Samuel with the hope
that he won't let his condition hold him back now or in the future.
Creating family memories to treasure forever |
Samuel really looks up to his big brother
Joseph and as they are both passionate about martial arts we captured this
brotherly love in the studio with some striking poses! We also loved Chase and
Yogi – Angela's fur babies! They are beautiful big dogs that are clearly so
important to this wonderful family. They are both excellent with Samuel and are
always there for him during the tough times, whether it's to enjoy play time
together or a cuddle to ease the worries away.
Angela and her family loved their photos and
it was obvious to all of us here just how much they mean to them. It was an
honour to create such beautiful memories for them and they were overjoyed by
their choice of a stunning portfolio box full of photos they will treasure
forever.
We also welcomed Emma and Mum Rosemary into
the studio to celebrate Mother’s Day with a wonderful mother-daughter
photoshoot. They brought in a beautiful tea set that had been passed down in
the family from Emma’s Nana and it was wonderful to include this detail in their
experience with us.
Capturing the bond between mother and daughter |
We created a lovely natural shoot for them
capturing their closeness in a relaxed and fun way. As well as the gorgeous tea
set shots, one of our favourites was a beautiful shot of them back to back
mirroring each other, highlighting the similarities between mother and
daughter. We love creating a variety of
images that will provoke different feelings and emotions and Emma and Rosemary
loved the selection that they chose!

Variety is the spice of life!
Meeting Jules and Brad was a highlight of
our week here at Image Portrait Studio! They were full of vigour and excitement
for their session and we couldn't wait to start capturing some wonderful
memories for them!
Brad brought in his Honda Shadow and we
captured some wonderful racy shots of Jules draped over the bike, creating
powerful images that were sexy and very beautiful! We carried on with this
intimacy in the studio by capturing the organic love between Brad and Jules,
highlighting the passionate side of their relationship that's still going
strong after 30 years together!
Bringing sexy back! |
Sara and Ben have been waiting to get married for a long time but they have finally set a date and came into the studio for a wonderful couples photo shoot! Ben wasn't so sure about having photos taken at first, feeling a bit awkward about being in front of the camera, but our photographers are so good at making people feel comfortable that he actually had a great time!
To help Ben ease into the experience we started them off with some natural shots to capture the two of them having fun together. Sara hates being picked up but Ben thinks it's funny so we ensured we captured that hilarity in the studio! During our consultation they didn't think they wanted anything particularly romantic, claiming that they weren't a particularly lovey-dovey couple. But as we often find, experiences change once you're in the studio and we ended up capturing the beautiful love and intimacy that they share.
The stunning selection of photos blew Sara and Ben away and they will be able to cherish those memories forever in their new Portfolio Box!
Capturing that love and intimacy |
Another interesting shoot we had this week
was Miz, who came in for a beautiful tribal belly dance style theme! Miz has
been belly dancing since she was 11 years old and wanted to bring that vibrancy
and passion to the studio.
With blue hair and colourful skirts, Miz was
a vision in the studio and truly showcased the beauty of American Tribal Style
belly dance. Her poses were feminine and beautiful, with a variety of
eye-catching colours that brought a lot of energy into the studio.

A loving week at Image Portrait Studio!
It was a pleasure to welcome Grant, Chloe and baby Will to
the studio last week for a lovely family shoot! Little Will is 6 months old
with a cheeky little smile that won us all over here at the studio and was a
dream to photograph! Grant is an avid surfer and Chloe is very artistic and
uses her skills to create beautiful art out of surfboards! They brought in one
of these to the studio and we captured some fantastic shots with Grant and Will
together on the board!
Incorporating your passion into your photo shoot |
Capturing the intimacy and love they share |
It is wonderful to capture the uniqueness of every couple
and family that comes into the studio and capture those moments in time which
will become cherished memories forever. With so many beautiful images to choose
from Grant and Chloe went for a lovely selection of photos that reflect their
passions!
We loved having high school sweethearts Shannen and Ethan in
the studio last week for a beautiful couples photo shoot! These guys were a lot
of fun, and Shannen’s vibrant blue hair really showed off her uniqueness!
Having fun together in the studio |
They clearly love each other very much and we had a
wonderful shoot capturing that romance and intimacy. As well as some stunning
skin shots we also captured the natural closeness between the two of them and
how comfortable they are round each other.
High School Sweethearts |
Their entire photo shoot was amazing and Shannen and Ethan
chose a beautiful acrylic contempo piece of their more intimate photos, as well
as a stunning 9-piece acrylic that shows off their love for each other!

Celebration of love
It was exciting to welcome a brand new
Easter baby to the studio this week! Baby Wyatt was born on Good Friday to Mum
and Dad (aka Cassie and Stephen) and they came to Image to have a wonderful
newborn photo shoot!
At only 7 days old little Wyatt was a
darling to have in the studio and was very easy-going and well-behaved! We got
some lovely shots of him snuggled up on the fur blankets we have, as well as
beautiful photos capturing the whole family together.
The bond between father and son |
Dad Stephen has lots of fantastic tattoos
and we captured some wonderful shots contrasting these with the vulnerability
and innocence of baby Wyatt, showing the close bond that has already formed
between father and son. Such a close bond in fact that Wyatt felt comfortable
enough pooing on Dad in the studio!! Talk about an action shot!
The happy family had such a beautiful
selection of photos to choose from, and they will now be able to treasure these
at home in one of our albums!
It was also a pleasure to welcome South
African couple Anita and Erika to Image Portrait Studio this week along with
their two Jack Russells - Starbuck and Meelix! Anita and Erika have known each
other a long time and do lots of activities together such as tandem cycling and
karate!
Pets are always an important part of the
family and we showed that bond by creating some lovely group shots of the 4 of
them all together, enjoying being in each others company.
Love shared in a happy family |
As well as this, we
wanted to capture the closeness and love between Anita and Erika and we spent
some time focusing on the happy couple. We love it when couples are open to
trying skin shots as the results are truly beautiful and highlights their
passion for each other in an intimate yet tasteful way.
Once again, there was such a wonderful range
of photos to choose and Anita and Erika created a stunning portfolio box of
memories to love forever!
Another happy couple we had the pleasure of
meeting this week were Bradley and Emma who came to the studio looking for some
wonderful couple photos. Originally from the UK, these guys are now settled
over here and have been married for a year.
They brought in their decorative wedding
cake base layer to include in the shoot and it was clear to see that the love
they share is still as strong as ever! We captured this by letting them look at
each other rather than at the camera and their connection shows instantly,
along with their matching smiles!
As in love as on their wedding day! |
With this photo as the centrepiece, Emma and
Bradley created a sensational acrylic 'Contempo' piece of 5 beautiful photos,
that will be a perfect addition to their home!
All of our clients have so much love for one another, whether it is between a couple, a parent and child, or a whole family - pets included! In turn, we love to capture this and turn that closeness into art that they can treasure forever!

Happy Easter from Image Portrait Studio!
Easter is a time to spend with loved ones
and celebrate being a family, and we had some wonderful people in Image
Portrait Studio this week! Here are just a few of our favourite moments!
It was a pleasure to welcome Eldric, Reinallen
and Renai to the studio last week to celebrate Renai's upcoming first birthday!
Little Renai was a dream to have in the studio, with his cheeky little smile
and bags of personality! He was a bundle of joy who clearly adores his Mum and
Dad and there was a lot of giggling in the studio from everyone involved!
They were such a wonderful family and it was
clear to everyone how much they all love each other. Eldric and Reinallen were
in matching 'Super man' and 'Wonder girl' t-shirts, and it's only a matter of
time before little Renai has one of his own! It was a real pleasure to photograph such
a happy family and we captured the closeness between them all beautifully.
Happy Families |
With
so many photos to choose from they left with a stunning 'Classico Canvas 4
Series' of family photographs, plus an additional canvas of Renai to showcase
at his birthday party next month!
We also had Vanita and the marvellous Grover
visit our studio for a 'Mum and Pup' shoot! Grover is a young labradoodle with
bundles of energy and a fun loving personality! It was so much fun to have him
in the studio and he stole all our hearts with his cute little face! He clear
adores Vanita and they have a lot of love to share and a very close bond.
We got Vanita and Grover to lie together on
the floor next to each other and just be natural so we could capture the real closeness of their relationship. Watching how they can communicate with each
other with just a look was a real privilege and goes to show that families come
in all shapes and sizes, and that even those who don't share a language can still share a
heart.
Best friends |
With so many photos to choose from Vanita
went for one of our beautiful albums full of memories that she is going to
treasure forever. Just like children, young pups such as Grover inevitably grow up and we think it is so important to capture those moments before they have passed by to create lasting memories.
Seeing how happy our work makes people and being able to create these timeless memories is so worthwhile and is exactly why we love what we do here at Image Portrait Studio!
