Photographing your family…
“No one we know uses light like Jonathan does to make each photograph taken feel so magical. He also makes a photoshoot feel utterly effortless and it’s so much fun that our three children asked when the next photoshoot with Jonathan was…” Helena, Parsons Green, London
“The photoshoot that we did with Jonathan was very laid back and super quick. It is almost unbelievable how fast he works and when you see how amazing the results are!” Michelle, Oxford“Jonathan made us laugh, was fun and interacted with us in such a way that my children were so captivated with everything he said and did. Taking the photos then just seemed easy as they happily made eye contact and smiled directly into his camera freely and easily.” Doug and Beth, Farnham
Warning: Having a family photoshoot with me is not a normal experience. There will be a lot of laughter, fun and general merriment and you will be left at the end of the shoot asking yourself “was that it?”
I normally spend the first few minutes in your home sitting down with you all over a cup of coffee and asking you to share some of your “story”; this includes your children and they are asked questions such as “who is your best friend and why”, “when was the last time you felt happy or sad” and “what do you love the most about mummy and daddy”. These are designed to build a sense of rapport and to get your children to trust me and to be empowered and made to feel special – showing them that they matter and that they have a place within this world.
My photoshoots are always based around the theme of “story” to reveal the beautiful and genuine connection that exists. This involves photographing a few of the daily tasks you might all do together, whether it’s washing up as a family or reading a favourite story book. In seeking out these fleeting moments, I aim to capture the uniqueness of your family.
