Bracknell Family Photographer
Hi I’m Natalie, a family photographer, based in Bracknell, Berkshire. A photoshoot with me will be a fun outdoor adventure. I definitely don’t just take posed photos of families. We will run, play games and mostly just have fun, as well as doing what kids really want to do most of all- spend quality time with mum and dad, complete with snuggling and tickling! I will take the time to get to know you and create photos that are totally unique to your family.
When you Get in Touch
We will arrange a time that suits you to have a chat about what you’re after from your shoot, get to know a bit more about you, and answer any questions you have. This can be on the phone, in person over a cuppa or over messenger, whichever suits you best. This will absolutely not be salesy at all, that just not my style, just a friendly helpful chat.
Before the Shoot
After you have booked, I will sent you my family photography client guide which talks you through every stage of the process, gives you tips on what to wear and how to make the most of your shoot along with a guide to the wall art you can order to show your photos off to their full potential.
During the Shoot
I want the whole experience to be relaxed and enjoyable for everyone, big people as well as the littlies. This is the best way to get natural, authentic images. I will already know a bit about each child from our little chat and will have planned your shoot based on this, but each shoot will still very much go with the flow of your family. This is your time to just hang out, play together and have fun and do whatever it is you love to do. I always allow plenty of time for your shoot, plenty of time to overcome shyness, play games, have snacks, change nappies etc. As a guide, shoots usually last around an hour, but they can be longer or shorter. But I promise that the time will pass in the blink of an eye, with no awkward posing, just your favourite family memories frozen in time.
Afterwards
Once your shoot is over, this is when the magic happens. I will pick out the very best of your photos, usually 40-50, and edit them with my signature look to bring out all the beauty of each photo. Within a couple of days I will post a photo or two from your shoot on my Facebook page to keep you going, and within 10 days I will have your gallery ready to view. I will send you a link to an online viewing gallery where you will be able to view your photos from the comfort of your own home.
Ordering your Wall Art
I’m very passionate about the wall art I sell - I love my wood blocks so much I have ordered them for my own family photos and displayed them in my home. These wooden block are really something special. Each one is made by hand with a lot of love and patience. Your image is printed with Fine Art archival pigment inks, which won't fade over time. This is then merged with the natural wooden block using a special procedure. The edges are rounded and the photos are covered with an acid-free protective layer which expands their lifespan and gives the appearance of brush strokes. They have an organic, natural, vintage feel to them, and as each block is made by hand, each will have its own unique look. The wooden blocks have a small hole on the back so you can hang them on the wall. or they can stand up on their own.They come in rectangle, square or circle shapes, or even better, a collage with a mixture of shapes and sizes, which really does make a feature wall out of where you hang them.
Also included in your gallery will be some mock ups of some of my favourite images put together in a wooden block gallery to help you imagine how your photos will look hung on your wall. I can help you every step of the way in designing your wall art that’s just what you want. There are several different collage options available, so you’re sure to find a design which is just perfect for your home. But rest assured, there will be no hard sell. I want you to be completely happy with both your photos and your experience with me and to come back to me year after year.
