Ellie-Rose

A few weeks back I photographed 16 year old Ellie-Rose.

Ellie comes to see me a few times a year and it is always a pleasure . We got various looks including a 70s style , fashion and headshots.

Choosing my favourite shots is hard as I have so many, so I’m glad I am not her mom or my house would be covered with her photos everywhere.

 

Teen Photo sessions are so much fun!

Here are some of my favourite shots


Isabella Signs

Recently I had the pleasure of working with teenage sensation Isabella from Isabella Signs.

15 year old Isabella taught herself sign language to help communicate with her two brothers, Lucus  who was born with Down Syndrome and Alexander who was born with Cerebral Palsy.

Isabella set up the ‘Isabella Signs’ platform on social media back in 2017 when she was just 11 years old. She has come on leaps and bounds over the years, winning awards and appearing on TV.  She is an inspiration to people all around the world with thousands of followers on her social media.

She loves to model in her spare time . I first met Isabella back in 2019 when she took part in a group shoot I was holding.

I approached her in 2020 about doing a shoot but due to Covid we weren’t able to book anything in until recently.

The images represent an inspirational , confident and caring teenager. The styling itself was loosely based on music videos by Justin Bieber and Harry Styles. Both whom I listen to and am inspired by but also who Isabella loves too .  My style of imaging for the youth of today is mostly based on colour and fashion trends. I like to keep my imagery fun and youthful and Isabella certainly fit the part perfectly. Along with my talented make up artist Marra who finished off the look with her skills, I am so pleased with the results and I hope you are too.

Thankyou so much Isabella , it was a pleasure working with such an inspirational individual.

Teen Portraits

Teen Portraits

 

The teenage years are hard both for parents and for teenagers themselves. Their bodies go through so many changes causing hormonal rages, moods , upset , physical body changes and not forgetting the most crucial time of their schooling lives.. their exams, coursework and college.

WOW !

This age group we don’t photograph as much basically because it’s emotionally challenging , usually ending in upset and disappointment.  But teenage years are also a big milestone into adult life . One of those milestones that need to be photographed.

I am myself a mother of teens so i totally get how it is and how hard it is.

My daughters will happily do snapchat and put bunny ears on their head, yet I ask them to have their pics took by me and they hide from the camera or they pick and say ”no , it makes me look fat” or ”you can see my spots”

So i have been thinking about this and noting the things my kids like and don’t like.  Kids like to look cool and grown up, they don’t want to wear Sunday best dresses and sit and SMILE for the camera.

Taking everything into consideration i did a test shoot for my 13 year old daughter, letting her tell me what she wants to wear and how she wants to look, while gently guiding her. Letting her be herself , that cool, trendy , GROWN UP who has so much life ahead of her

 

I love photographing these ages personally !

 

Why not book your teen a cool stylish session , you get shots of your child or should i say Teenager/Young Adult during that big milestone without bunny ears on their head or fake big eyes and they get to be themselves and have fun .

Ellie 'The Pierrot Clown'

Last month i got to shoot with an amazing teen model Ellie Corcoran , who I’ve worked with on a few projects this year.  She never fails to amaze me, always puts 110% into her work.

I worked on the ‘Pierrot’ theme earlier in the year and loved the results but this time i wanted a different look.

With the help of Marra Entezary we worked together to create my vision.

Even better i gained 5 silvers and 3 Bronze awards from The Guild of Photographers in the November monthly competition.

Love these creative photo sessions and love it when a vision comes to life !

Outdoor Childrens Sessions

Recently i have found a new love… the Outdoors..

I love change and i’m loving the different shots i can get from outdoor sessions. The light falls so differently from one scene to another and children especially are loving the freedom of the outdoors.

I think these sessions are going to be my new fave hehe!

You cant beat natural light, natural backgrounds , natural smiles and expression <3

I used for these sessions Haden Hill Park in Old Hill, Cradley Heath . Such a beautiful park..
