Mini-Shoots will continue for 2024
Families
Family Shoots:
So often, family pictures are a staged studio shoot, where it is meticulously planned and positioned resulting in an unnatural surreal moment. I like to take the shoot as they interact with each other and most importantly make it fun, this has resulted in totally candid moments with natural expressions and a spirit that is a much truer reflection of the characters in front of me. Parents love the fact that there are moments and expressions that they have never perceived in their children always perfect for a canvas on the wall.

The Christmas Sessions:
Locations: Abingdon
For the last 5 years I have been running Christmas Family Photo Shoots in Abingdon where I provide the background and props for 15 minute slots with the possibility of ordering family Christmas cards of your favourite image from the session. These are now so popular, all 90 slots over three Sundays are pretty much booked within 48hours of releasing the dates.
The Bluebell Woods Sessions:
Locations: Oxfordshire
For the last 4 years I have been holding Bluebell Wood photoshoots in Bagley Woods, Oxfordshire. These consist of 30 minute photoshoots for families and/or pets. Such a beautiful setting makes for some lovely candid and posed photos and the kids love it.

The Edwards Family Mini-Shoot:
2020

Alex and Gareth gave birth to baby Dylan just 8 days prior to the shoot and they wanted some outdoor shots whilst Dylan was still very young, so we chose a sunny day and headed over to the Abbey Meadows in Abingdon which provides some lovely natural backgrounds for a family shoot. Grandma decided to come along as well.
In their own words:
" They are beautiful Martin! Love them. Thank you xx"

The Guimaraes Family:
2020
Location: Oxfordshire
Early on during the lockdown last year, restrictions only allowed for doorstep photo shoots, so when the Guimaraes family booked me, I noticed that next to their house there were some lovely poppies growing and thought it may prove a different backdrop to their front door step.
The whole family were captured together but I always make a point of letting each member of the family have pictures of themselves.
In their own words:
" You made our overgrown alleyway look like a wonderful wild flower garden! "

The Feates Family:
2020

The Feates Family asked for a mini shoot at a local park in Harwell with both boys. One of the boys was not so keen and quite often you have to adapt the way you interact in order to encourage participation. We got there in the end.
In their own words:
"You really did it! I just ordered a large canvas of us all and smaller canvas for the boys rooms im very happy! Thankyou!!! ."

Kara's Family:
2020
Location: Oxfordshire
Kara wanted family pictures during the first lockdown outside her home and nearby. Four of her children were there ready to go and the eldest son turned up towards the end with his girlfriend whom we managed to incorporate in the shoot. Sometimes flexibility is required to adapt for additional photos. With each mini shoot, I always send a small collage photo the same day as a taster.
In their own words:
" Thank you so much, I am so pleased we managed to get them all :-) "

The Drew family had all been separated for a while and mum Janice wanted a few photos of all of them together before they all went their separate ways again. Due to restrictions, their home was used as their location.

The Norris Family:
2020
Location: Oxfordshire
The Norris family asked for a family shoot and due to restrictions, we had to use their back garden for the photos which helped as the children were in a familiar setting so very quickly settled into play mode. It can take a little time for kids to forget that they are in a photo shoot situation especially when you are trying to capture candid moments.
In their own words:
" Thank you so much, there are so many photos. You are an amazing photographer "

The Rowe Family:
2020
Location: Oxfordshire
During Lockdown, The Rowe family asked me if I was able to do a socially distanced shoot in their back garden in order to have positive memories of their time together during these difficult times. Whenever I do a family shoot, I will always capture the whole family but I also make a point of letting each family member have a few photos by themselves.
In their own words:
" We love, love, love. Highly recommend Martin do not hesitate to get booked. Such a fun shoot capturing us at home. Thank you so much "

The Woodley Family:
2020
Location: Oxfordshire
The Woodley family wanted to treat their father/grandfather to a photo shoot for father's day, so they booked a father's day shoot with me. When it comes to children interacting with their grandfather, it is always such a pleasure to capture the interaction between the generations.
In their own words:
"I booked a shoot with Martin for a Father's Day present for my Dad from the kids. I haven't met Martin before but as soon as we met we were talking as if we had known each other for years! that's so important when choosing a photographer as you need to be able to connect with them! Martin was great with the kids, and was really calm throughout and took some beautiful natural shots! He was so chatty and friendly and that made the whole session perfect! We have seen our preview photos which we all love! now I can't wait to see the rest! Thank you Martin!"

The Morrison Family:
2020
Location: Oxfordshire
The Morrison family wanted to enjoy the fact that we had just come out of the first lockdown by having a family photo shoot which included the grandparents, a two year old and new born twins in their garden. With newborns especially twins it is never an easy task to get them both to look at you at the same time, however a few tricks of the trade can achieve results.
In their own words:
"We had a family doorstep photo shoot with Martin on 4th July, just after lockdown restrictions were reduced. Martin was very response to messages and made the photo shoot itself effortless (not easy with grandparents, parents a two year old and new born twins). We are delighted with the outcome and would unreservedly recommend Martin."

In their own words:
"Just had a chance to take a proper look at them, they are great! Really thrilled with them, thanks so much! "

The Hall Family:
2020
Location: Oxfordshire
The Hall family wanted a more recent family photo as well as some individual ones of both their daughter and newborn son. I find that in order to get the children to be themselves, having them have a little running race often gets them more relaxed and can sometimes capture some wonderfully candid expressions, especially when there is an older sibling, giving them their own spotlight really does help the shoot.
In their own words:
" The photos are amazing, thank you so much. "

In their own words:

The Lagarrigues:
Location: Home shoot, Oxfordshire
On this occasion, the shoot was indoors and I had set up my studio as they wanted very artistic black & white classical shots in mind. It is always important to know exactly what is required.
In their own words:
""I asked Martin if he could take a portrait but the way I wanted: artistic pics with a black background and playing with the lights to create some shadows on faces. I could see he technically knew his camera, I was sure I would get the effect I wanted. I was right! Amazing results. I am pretty picky regarding photography and the only criticism I could make is the photo shoot went too quick! On top of that, he offered to come directly to my house, to make sure my 2 children will be comfortable during this exercise. It is not evident to stay natural in front of a camera but Martin managed to give us idea to strike a pose and then, it became a game! Many thanks for your kindness Martin."

In their own words:
"Could not thank Martin enough for helping us make memories for our princesses 3rd Birthday. Martin not only maintained professionalism throughout the shoot but also made Ambar (3 years old) comfortable, allowing her to play and just be a child whilst he snapped away catching some precious moments in the background, there were no pressure of posing, etc which she would have hated. He's a natural with kids. Absolutely talented photographer, amazing work. The images where breathtaking, one very emotional mummy."

The Rivers:
Location: Oxfordshire
She wanted to use her garden as the back drop for a shoot, again a lot of fun was had, as the kids ran riot around the garden. I always find it's good to let them have fun first and take some silly ones, then they are much more likely to respond.
In their own words:
"Martin has done a fantastic job with the photos he took of my family. He is such a nice guy and got the children engaged in what they were doing and found various ways to make them smile. I would highly recommend and will be using him again."

The Herse Family:
Location: Radley College Grounds, Oxfordshire
2019
The Herse family reached out to me off the back of a recommendation as they were looking for a photographer who could capture candid shots of their 11 month old son and the grandparents who were visiting. We chose the grounds of Radley College as it provided plenty of space for their rather large Alsatian.
In their own words:
" We really love the natural style of your photographs, just lovely "
