I’ve been selling quite a few Gift Vouchers as they make such good Christmas presents. Vouchers are £60 and include a photo shoot plus one large photograph. Here is the leaflet advertising the vouchers that I’ve been leaving in shops, cafes and nurseries all over South Manchester.
You can order a Photography Gift Voucher by phoning me on 07735 479490 or email to chorltonfamilyphotography@googlemail.com

Quite often when I do a shoot, the parent wants a really nice photo of their children to give as a present to granny or other relatives. We call this the ‘granny photo’. It’s usually quite a traditional shot with the children facing the camera and with big smiles on their faces. I try to make the smiles seem natural, rather than the ‘say cheese’ variety. It is all about the expressions on the children’s faces.
I took some photographs of this four year old girl and her two year old brother for their parents Tammy and Michael last week. Here are some of the shots that would make perfect Christmas presents for granny!

This photogenic little girl is just two years old. Her dad bought a photo shoot Gift Voucher as a Christmas present for Kate, her grandmother. I took the photographs at Kate’s house in Chorlton, Manchester.
The little girl loved playing, as children of this age do. She had lots of fun playing with her doll and when Kate blew her some bubbles she couldn’t stop laughing. In fact, every time she looked at Kate she had a big grin on her face!

The parents of this little boy received a gift voucher last Christmas entitling them to a photo shoot and a 10 inch x 8 inch photograph. We finally did the photo shoot in August when Helen and Cath had some time off work. The little boy is just 2 years old and he was very, very interested in the flashing studio lights. He kept pointing at them and wanting to investigate how they worked! I think he looks brilliant in his red dungarees and they really stand out against the black background.

As with a lot of children of this age he really enjoyed chasing and popping bubbles and I got some lovely action shots.

I took some photographs of a pretty, three month old baby girl in West Didsbury. Her mum, Helen, received a Baby’s First Year Voucher as a gift. The baby was very smily, particularly after she had a little break for a rest and a feed. I will be visiting Helen again soon for the second of her three photo shoots, and this time I will also take some pictures of her two year old son.

Liza arranged for me to take some photographs as a gift for her husband’s birthday. She wanted a really nice, happy photograph of their two year old son. I think the photos worked particularly well when she was playing with her little boy – you could see them interacting with each other and really enjoying each others company.
