Family and Children
Family and Children.
Family and children’s portrait photography can be fun or formal,
it can be what ever it is that shows you and your families personality and the love you share together. What better way to decorate your home than with wall art portraiture of the people you hold dear and the happy times you want to remember.
The best child portraits come from unexpected moments-We follow your children’s lead thereby ensuring we capture their natural expressions, rather than pushing them to ‘smile at the camera’. Each child is unique and we do our very best to capture the range of emotions that make them who they are, at that moment in time, be it a giggle, a pout, a sneer or look of wonder. We have fun! We play, laugh, and usually end up making a big mess.
How to get the best out of my Family or child’s portrait photography session?
We’ll schedule the session around the needs of your family, but the best time is when your children are well rested and fed beforehand. Clothing should be chosen based on the style of session you are seeking. Jeans, a bright top and bare feet are perfect for candid or photojournalistic sessions. Chose fun outfits and accessories (hats, tutus) that reflect your child’s budding personality. Dresses, slacks and a button down shirt are more classic and timeless. If there’s a few of you try to complement each other in colour choices. We’ve always found that kids tend to be most cooperative when they are in comfortable clothing with minimal clothing changes. It’s best to avoid plaids, busy patterns or any large logos, as it detracts from the photographs focus which is you and your children.
Misconception: No Rush To Have A Family Portrait Created Right Now.
Life is so terribly short. But, at the same time, life is such a wonderful gift and the memories we keep of these moments will last forever. Families change so quickly kids shoot up from year to year with their personalities changing all the time, if you wait for a special occasion generally the years slip by and before you know it, the children are all grown up and it’s too late.

My son and daughter recently had a dance photo shoot with Collin. I absolutely can not recommend him enough. He made both my children feel so comfortable, he talked through the shoot with them and allowed them to share their own ideas with him. He didn't rush the photo shoot itself and kept going until my (perfectionist) son was happy.
The viewing process again was incredible, and Collin allowed us plenty of time to decide on the photos, we took a while because there were so many amazing shots of them both.
I am beyond delighted with the photos we decided upon, as are my very hard to please teens!
Thank you again Collin xxx

My daughter Maddi has recently had a dance photo shoot with Collin and we were overjoyed with the images
Collin gave us a very warm welcome and was very friendly and patient. We didn’t feel rushed at all and Collin was eager to try many different looks.
When we returned for our viewing he had captured Maddi’s beautiful looks and talent to a “T” in the images and needless to say they brought a tear or 2 to my eye !!
It’s easy to see why Collin is a multi award-winning photographer and his expertise and experience speaks volumes. Many thanks we had a wonderful time.

Collin was incredibly friendly and put both myself and my daughter at ease. I'd booked for a dance photoshoot to try and instill a little more confidence in her. The photos speak for themselves and she had great fun doing them! A bonus for her was meeting Pippa- who ended up making a guest appearance in the photos!

We looked at loads of local photographers before we seen High Societies portfolio, they didn't compare. We are over the moon with the photos of our baby boy Jacob. Hay pampers do you need a new baby model, you will have to use High Society Photography though! Thank you x
