Quality lighting is one of the keys to great family portrait photography. Working with studio lights provides me with the ability to create a variety of artistic looks based on the vision I have for the final family portrait.

Varun contacted me about capturing his family’s portrait and was interested in seeing whether a close up of Arya and Mayan faces, with the focus on their eyes, would show some of their inner world. Was in love with this photo brief as my mind pondered on the type of family photography I was going to shoot for Varun and Nicola.

Happy, smiley family portrait photography has always been a favourite but there are so many individual looks our kids give us that are unique to their personalities. Yes eyes are the window to the soul and more so through portrait photography. For Varun and Nicola I wanted to capture the cheekiness of Arya and the dreaminess of Mayan through their eyes. Two of my favourites include Arya warm embrace sitting on her dad’s shoulders and the protective look on Mayan’s face with mum sitting next to him. Varun and Nicola now have a priceless moment in their family’s history, captured for all future generations.

Please take a moment to take a look at their family portraits and let me know which is your favourite. With their Indian heritage I got a little arty at the end but you’ll have to take a look at the last image.

If you would like me to capture something unique for your family just get in contact.
