How to take meaningful pictures of your family

Time is passing and children are growing up so fast. It’s our duty to document their childhood and take meaningful pictures of our families. With this in mind I have created Cheat Sheets to help parents take more meaningful pictures, not miss any important details and at the same time, be present for their children.

CHEAT SHEETS

These Cheat Sheets are for parents/parents-to-be. It is for anyone who is the “main event photographer” in the family. This is often a mum who wants to capture a lifetime of memories with her camera. At the same time, this guide is for everyone who needs some inspiration, help or step-by-step guidance on what to photograph during family events and other occasions (milestones, etc.).

Cheat Sheets are for those who care about documenting their family’s lives because they know it will bring them closer as a family.

This is 18 page document, concentrated (no bs) guide packed full of very useful info you’ll find the secrets to taking meaningful, emotional, and interesting images of your family. You’ll be able to transform ordinary posed photos into extraordinary memories. Some of your images will make you laugh; some will make you cry even years to come.

I have crafted and edited these Cheat Sheets for you over a number of years. All my secrets, big and small, were gathered here in one place to make your life easier and more meaningful.

B O N U S!

With every purchase you will get a guide on “Things to know before taking meaningful pictures”. It’s a collection of my observations, after working as a professional photographer for over 12 years, on how to take better pictures. Here we’ll look at the lighting, background, point of view, focus, we’ll talk about how to take best pictures but at the same time be present and enjoy the moment.

Pages were designed to be printer-friendly. Once you purchase the files you can instantly download them and print all or the relevant pages for your reference. Next, grab the camera/phone and let the fun begin!

Once you have a digital file you can print as many copies as you wish. So be generous! Get some nice thick paper and print few copies for your friends/family who you think would benefit from the Cheat Sheets. Add them to a folder or tie the pages with the ribbon and it will make an amazing present for baby shower, birthday, Christmas or any other occasion. Sharing is caring 😉

Portrait Photography Studio| Swansea, South Wales

I’m so glad I have this beautiful photography studio in Swansea city centre.

On the day this family came for a photo shoot, it was raining. Just like it does on the most of the days here in Wales. I used to photograph on location only when I started. But now I’m so lucky to have this amazing place where I can welcome families as big as there is (the biggest group I had in my studio was 14!), sun or rain.

This beautiful family gathered together for Jonathan’s graduation ceremony. He just finished studies at Swansea University and now is ready for the new chapter in his life.

That’s an important reason to celebrate. Every achievement is worth celebrating. And it’s best to celebrate with a portrait.

This family ordered a book with all the pictures from the photo shoot. What a keepsake to keep!

While I was photographing the graduate, his mum was having a full makeover here at the studio.

Then all joined in for a family portrait which I’m sure will become their family heirloom.

I’m glad Amy (Lilly’s mom) decided to be photographed with her daughter. So while I was shooting Lilly, Amy had her makeover done. We all love those transformations.

They both looked so gorgeous. It is so important to exist in photographs. Every mom should jump in front of the camera and exist in family photographs.
