Thanks for the family photo shoot today. The kids had so much, and we were all very excited to see the Photos :) Absolutely would highly recommend you. Made us all feel at ease and comfortable Caroline

Family Photography Northern Ireland

I did some family photography in Northern Ireland as I was booked in the home, and the back garden in Armagh is a great place to celebrate and has the bonus of not going too far… from your home, lol. Anyways, this is an example in Armagh with this great family. Amanda booked me for celebrations with her family. We started with a few out the back before heading inside the living room. It’s a special time when you can get everyone together for a group photo. Family portraits are individual, preferably with a plain or interesting background.

Fun Family Photos

I was booked for some fun family photos in the home in Lurgan, which included some photo 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 to shoot! We shot a couple of variations within the house, so I think everyone was happy.

Charmaine’s super fun Armagh photoshoot. The location, Gosford Forest Park, was perfect, with many different places to shoot. Charmaine contacted me about some family, and we both decided Markethill was fairly close to all of us, so not too far to travel. Hopefully, many wonderful memories were made that you can cherish for a long time. Thanks for booking me as your family portrait photographer.

Irene wanted fun family Christmas photos in Northern Ireland, as she booked me in December. A couple of photo prints were also supplied with their choice of photos, and a great bit of fun was had by all. The Christmas photo family sessions lasted about 20 minutes, and the family received around 50 photos. This is the only time of year I shoot this type of family shoot, so it's best to book early! Even the Christmas photo shoots are quite quick there can be a few different photo-combinations if your house is big enough. They can also be outside with your Christmas clothes on too. Family sessions are jolly good fun.

I’m a family photographer in Belfast and all over NI, including parks, venues like hotels, restaurants and towns. I photograph families all over Northern Ireland and do mini photo shoots in Portadown, within a 30-minute drive mile from the town centre. You decide where you are photographed, as I’m not tied to a particular location or town. In County Armagh, you have Craigavon and Lurgan. These last up to 1 hour and can be emailed or saved onto a USB for £49 extra. Great for viewing on your SmartTV! Any couples have booked me in the past. Thanks for booking me as your family photographer.

Prop Ideas for Family Sessions

Family photo prop ideas for family sessions. If you are stuck for some family photo 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 other 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 family photo prop ideas below. Anything else you can think of for your family shoot, make a note in the comments below.

  1. Toys

  2. Clothes

  3. Scrabble tiles

  4. Balloons

  5. Picture frames

  6. Chair

  7. Blankets

  8. Bubbles

  9. Musical instruments

As you can see from above there are endless possibilities for family sessions, the only real limit is your imagination and the transport of props from your home to the location where you want photos. 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 of family photos using some photo props where we had an assortment of props ranging from balloons to teddy bears.

Family Videographer

I’m also a family videographer filming videos all over Northern Ireland. You are free to check out the family video I filmed for Ben’s going away party.

Family Video

An example of a family video where I filmed the family party in Edenmore, which you can play below. Photos were also taken in the evening. Ben’s mum, Dee, wanted Edenmore family birthday party photos and video of the evening as Ben was off to the navy, and they had booked The Kircassock Suite for the event. I shot some pictures of some of the decor. With photos, you need a flash, or else everyone would be dark in the Edenmore Country Club room. Lighting would be dreadful for photos. Edenmore is off one of the main roads, Magheralin, in between Lurgan and Moira.

We took some photos in a corner of the room and then some of Ben’s friends too. The Curious Fox had a buffet, and the food was beautiful, really was lovely. Afterwards, a policeman interrupted things as he was enquiring about a vehicle that just happened to be Ben. After a few seconds, the policeman burst into song and a bit of fun, all part of the act by singing Waiter Cameoflage, so stay until the end of the video! Thanks for booking me as your family photographer and videographer in Northern Ireland.
