CAPTURE THE MOMENTS

FAMILY PORTRAITS THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME

While our children and loved ones provide us with many fleeting moments that are etched in our hearts forever, a professional family portrait photographer will capture those moments and elevate them into a tangible reminder of the love, laughter, and unique bond that unites your family. As your children grow up, seeing those beautifully composed portraits of themselves, taken when they were younger, they are transported back to a time when you held them in your arms and those memories and feelings will come flooding back. Investing in professional family portrait photos is to pour yourself into a timeless treasure that transcends a family snapshot and will be a decision you will never regret.

FAMILY Photography in west sussex

I go out on location to photograph families across West Sussex, photographing them in their favourite places be that at home, a bluebell wood, a park, the South Downs, the seaside…. I’ve photographed families, couples and individuals in most areas around West Sussex. Whether it’s a family celebrating an annual get together at the family farm or a family celebrating a significant milestone with dozens of guests. I can provide you with the photographic record of your family that you want.

Photographing young children

I aim to make all my family portrait shoots as fun and interactive as possible, and because children don’t always enjoy being told what to do, I don’t mind spending a bit of time getting to know the children that I photograph, discovering what makes them tick, thus building great and ongoing relationships with my customers. I really enjoy photographing children and it’s great when they can be their usual (sometimes cheeky) selves, having fun, being silly and looking amazing in front of the camera.

studio and individual portraits

My portable studio setup allows me to capture professional portraits for individuals as well as small family groups and infants. The portable studio fits in even the smallest of homes and is always popular when the weather isn’t picture perfect.

Newborn Photography

Talking of special moments, having a baby is a pretty special moment and one that many of us want to capture, but it’s not one where you are wanting to be out of the house or in a studio having photos taken for several hours. As such I am more than happy to make a house visit, and I allow extra time (for the essential feeds and nappy changes) at no extra cost, to make sure we capture your beautiful new arrival in the comfort of your own home, my mini setup and a selection of props allows us to capture those precious first days, before they start growing up all too quickly.

Special moments

I’ve lost count of the times I’ve been told by someone, that having their photo taken ‘feels a bit unnatural’. I promise that I can help you there, just get in touch and we will find a way to make it work for you, together.

The beautiful memories that are captured, are always worth it. Be that the moment you get down on one knee to ‘pop the question’ or just simply some beautiful photos for just the two of you, be that anniversary photos or any other special occasion, recording your love is always worth it.

We used Alex to take some product pictures for our new catalogue, not the most interesting of items but they look fantastic! Alex was very helpful, we initially only asked for 60 product images but the list of items kept increasing. Alex was happy to stay all day at short notice to finish the extra items. Highly recommended!

We knew as soon as we met Alex we wanted him to take our wedding photos. Throughout the lead up to the wedding, on the day and afterwards Alex’s communication was excellent. On the day of the wedding Alex went above and beyond as more than just our photographer, to helping organise other people and generally getting involved in anything he could. He did such an amazing job of blending into the background to get lovely natural shots of us and our guests, as well as not being intrusive when he wanted to shoot something specific. We are so thrilled with what he took and we’ve had so many compliments from our guests for not only Alex’s photos, but also his engagement on the day. We would recommend him to anyone and would not hesitate to book him again for any special event!

Alex has done two photoshoots for me in the last couple of years, and I've been really pleased with the results. Planning is really good, he is patient and listens well, yet he is also very creative and I love the ideas he brings to a photo shoot and the attention to detail that he puts into each project. He is also a really nice guy with a lovely family! I am very confident that anyone who books him will be delighted with the results. - Thank you Alex! : )

Alex took photos for a once in a lifetime family gathering and big birthday event. We could not have asked for a better photographer. From start to finish, Alex was just wonderful to deal with and took the most beautiful photos which we will treasure for years to come! Not only is he a very talented photographer but also such a lovely person. Nothing was too much of an ask. We were a large group of over 40 (including children, teenagers and a few babies too!) and wanted many different set ups. None of this phased him! He was calm, positive and upbeat throughout. Following the shoot, he sent us the photos within 24 hours and was equally lovely to deal with throughout the editing process! We cannot recommend him highly enough and are so grateful to him for capturing such a special moment in time!

Utterly fantastic!!! Had family photos for a relatives 80th and it was wonderful! Loveliest man, made everyone so comfortable, was super relaxed and stayed way longer than we'd asked to get all the various shots! And had photos to select from that same evening!!! Cannot recommend enough!

We needed Alex to do some photos of our family with a limited amount of time to get all the members together. Eventually we gathered in a suitable venue and the photo session was completed. The area was comfortable, well set up and Alex marshalled us, including one reluctant attendee, in a friendly manner to get the required photos. The photos were excellent and just what were required. I recommend his service to others.
