Denh Lay Photography

I frequently get asked about framing so I am currently putting together a little design guide that I will send out to all my family portrait clients. The research has led me to some fantastic DIY options which are brilliantly unique, gorgeous and clever. Here are some of my favourites :)

I absolutely adored photographing this fun and colourful Autumn session. Little Chloe is so loved and one moment with this happy, cheeky girl and you will quickly see why. She has the biggest smile and laughs with such energy, it’s contagious! She is a true reflection of her beautiful mum and I am so glad I was able to capture some of their special moments :)

So, here’s a warning for parents (mums in particular ;) If you book a family portrait session with me you WILL be in a photo or two :) I like to include you because I believe there is nothing more precious than the joy, the confidence and the love in your children’s eyes when you hold them, play with them, or when you are simply beside them. I want you to see what I see, because frankly… it’s a little magical.

CLOTHING TIP: Colours that pop!

We all know that there are certain colours that just work well on us, complimenting or highlighting our best features. Chloe has beautiful blue eyes and mum did a brilliant job of dressing her in a bright blue top which, in the close up portraits especially, helps highlight the colour of her eyes. I also love the spots of matching pink in her top and hair clip. Little repetitions of just a few colours work well in creating an interesting image.
