Review
Thanks for the photo shoot today. The kids had so much fun, and we were all very excited to see the Photos. :) I would highly recommend you. Made us all feel at ease and comfortable, Caroline
I love photographing in parks, venues like hotels, restaurants and towns. I photograph families all over Craigavon, and mini shoots in County Armagh are available, within a 30-minute drive from the town centre. You decide location, as I’m not tied to a particular location or town. These last up to 1 hour and can be emailed or saved onto a USB for extra. Great for viewing on your Smart TV! Many couples have booked me in the past.
Within the county, I can take your photos in Portadown, Lurgan, Craigavon, Armagh and any towns or areas. Anywhere outside County Armagh, please contact me. I love photographing groups, and some locations for your wonderful outdoor memories are listed below.
Tannaghmore Gardens
Just outside Lurgan and close to Craigavon, this is a very popular spot that doesn’t disappoint.
Lurgan Park
Off Market Street on the main road and just beside Brownlow Castle, the park has a beautiful man-made lake with plenty of trees and open areas.
Craigavon Lakes
Oxford Island
Just off the M1 motorway, Oxford Island is massive. The area where you drive has plenty of boats, whereas the bottom part is much more open with lots of areas.
Ardress House
The Argory
Portadown People’s Park
A short walk from the town centre with plenty of car parking, the park has a small man-made pond and plenty of paths and trees.
Bachelor’s Walk
A small public park that’s worth checking out.
Clare Glen
Located in Tandragee, Clare Glen has a great stream along the path and is very popular for local families.
Gosford Forest Park
In Markethill, lots of people come here for walks and outings, and I would highly recommend the Gosford Forest Park. Unfortunately, car parking is not free here.
Palace Demesne
Besides the Armagh City Hotel, the park has plenty of areas of beauty, which would be great for your pictures.
Loughgall Country Park
Peatlands Park
A great park between Portadown and Dungannon.
Solitude Park
Just off the main road in the centre of Banbridge.
Fun Group Photography out the back of house, Armagh
I have been capturing lots of families in Portadown in the past, and as I was booked in the home, the back garden in Armagh is a great place to celebrate and has the bonus of not being too far from your home, lol. Amanda booked me for the celebrations. We started with a few out back before heading inside the living room. It’s a special time when you can get everyone together for a group. Portraits are individual, preferably with a plain or interesting background. This is Amanda outside her back in Armagh.
Family Pictures in a Community Centre
A few photos from a birthday get-together in Killicomaine Community Centre in Portadown. Also called Killicomaine Jubilee Community Centre. I was booked for a birthday throughout the evening celebrations, where there were plenty of fun things for the guests to do.
Autumn family images in Tannaghmore Gardens
Another popular spot in Lurgan and Craigavon is Tannaghmore Gardens, as I’ve photographed lots of families here. Every time is a delight, and you always find something new. I joined Caroline’s family for a session with their two daughters. We took a walk around the gardens, exploring the area. It’s great every season, but in autumn, you have the brown and yellow leaves on the ground, giving a rustic feel and look.
Home Family Photos in Lurgan
I was booked for some in the home in Lurgan, which included some prints, too, along with a USB. The older daughter was great to photograph with, but the younger kid was, let’s say, a little bit more challenging! We took a couple of variations within the house, so I think everyone was happy.
Forest Portraits with the family
Charmaine’s super fun photoshoot in the Gosford Forest Park was perfect, with many different places to explore. Charmaine contacted me about some portraits, and we both decided that Markethill was fairly close to all of us, so it wasn't too far to travel. Hopefully, in a short space of time, many wonderful memories will be made that you can cherish for a long time. Thanks for booking me, great fun was had by all.
This family brought props with them to Lurgan Park
I met these two great adults, the young son and baby, in Lurgan Park. They brought some great props for the son and baby to play with. We casually walked around the park, spent a little time on the swings and ended up at the jetty beside the lake for some fun pictures. The props they brought worked out great, as they gave the young son and baby something to hold and play with, interacting with the two parents.
Prop ideas that you can bring with you
If you are stuck for some prop ideas, then I have compiled a few ideas below. Props make your photos more interesting as your child or children can bring some toys to act as props within the images. This gives them something to do and interact with others rather than looking at the camera and smiling. Even a baby can play with some props or toys. It would help if you were careful with toddlers and toys, and they should all be baby-friendly.
I’ve compiled a short list of prop ideas below. If there is anything else you can think of for your shoot, make a note in the comments below.
Toys
Clothes
Scrabble tiles
Balloons
Picture frames
Chair
Blankets
Bubbles
Musical instruments
As you can see from above, there are endless possibilities for sessions; the only real limit is your imagination and the transport of props from your home to the location where you want. There are lots of small things you can take, though, like small toys and balloons (you can blow these up when you get to the location). Some of the other props might be a bit more difficult, like the picture frames, bikes and other larger items. An example using some props, where we had an assortment of props ranging from balloons to teddy bears. I also photograph families all over Northern Ireland, including Belfast.
