Capture the long days of summer with a family portrait

A family portrait is a treasure at any time – but Summer provides such a wonderful opportunity to capture the joy of a family at play.

This Summer, why not create a lasting memory and a unique piece of art, with a portrait taken outside in the beauty of nature.

Here’s a tip for a wonderful Summer portrait:

  • If you have young children, portraits of them playing in the water will bring a smile to your face for years to come.
  • If your family has a special place such as a farm or cabin – or even just a favourite spot in the local park – this is a wonderful backdrop for a fun, relaxed portrait.

We also recommend you bring the following to your Summer portrait:

  • Sunscreen on hot days
  • Clothing you feel comfortable in
  • Insect repellent – just in case!
  • Props (if the location does not have a lot of playful options)
  • Cold drinks and snacks for younger ones
