One year later - family photography

I know I have said it many times before, but it's very true, so I will say it again - I love to photograph the families who I have worked with before! It's always great to see how much the children have grown http://tamaratoveyphotography.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/three-sisters.html Two of these lovely girls were old enough to remember me from a year ago and greeted me as an old friend. Everybody is more relaxed and we all know what to expect from each other - I already knew that all the outfits will be perfectly coordinated and they knew what kind of images to expect at the end.
The girls were absolutely amazing - they kept asking to be photographed and were posing! Made my job so easy!

 

 

One perfect day.

Some days are just so perfect... I try not to get the camera on the way of us having fun. But I'm so glad I took these. We had a couple of days to go away so I didn't want to go too far so I have asked a friend about some nice beaches in South Wales and was recommended Southerndown. I'm so glad we have discovered it.

 The beach was beautiful, with plenty of rock pools, impressive rock formations and shells to find, and there also was a great bonus - Dunraven garden on the top of the hill. Young children are not often impressed by views, I know that my girls would rather be playing at a playground, but they were completely mesmerised by the garden. And although it has some nice flowers, we definitely have been in more impressively maintained gardens, but there is something magical about that place. A magical tower, magical walls, magical light and yes, magical flowers...



 

If anyone is looking for a beach to go to in South Wales I can thoroughly recommend Southerndown.

 





Little boy

The last 4 months have been crazy. I'm not sure what exactly happened but somehow I got totally overbooked! But I'm so glad I made time for this session in the middle of all the crazyness. I love getting to know new families but I love even more working with the families I have already photographed before. It feels great because it means I have done something right the first time. But also, it's great to see how much children have grown - little newborn girl turned into a bit sister and the family of 3 have turned into a family of 4! And as I photographed this little boy, I couldn't stop myself from comparing him to his big sister when she was a few days old herself. And how much he looks like his mum with his eyes closed and how he looks like his dad when his eyes are opened.

If you are expecting your little miracle and would love to be photographed within the comfort of your home, feel free to contact me at tamara@tphotography.co.uk for more details and to book your newborn session.

Family photography - Bristol

As a photographer I get to meet different people and families and I get to know a little bit about their story. With her mum from Venezuela and dad from Greece, this little girl has all the chances to speak 3 languages, she will also have special visitors and will get to travel a lot. But most importantly, and I hope you can see it in the images that I have taken, she will grow up feeling very loved and cared for. It was such a pleasure to spend a morning creating the images to look back to and remember and for all the relatives who are so far away to see the little princess as a baby.

Summer!

Right now I'm buried under all the editing that needs to be done, together with the orders that have to be processed and not to forget about the beautiful summer evening light to enjoy! I have so much to blog, but for now:
