Family photoshoot | Karen Thorburn Photography

Time seems to disappear, doesn’t it? Kids grow up so quickly and our beloved pets don’t stay with us as long as we would like. I know how busy you are but it’s essential to make time to capture some special memories to look back on in years to come. A family photoshoot is the answer!

“You have the perfect personality and friendly smile for family photography!!! The girls loved you and it really went so well!!! What a wonderful experience!”

Beautiful, natural images

I specialise in natural images, particularly outdoors in beautiful light. I’ll capture your personalities and the deep love that binds you together. Sure, I’ll give you all some guidance so that you look your absolute best (we don’t want any double chins or trees appearing to grow out the tops of people’s heads!). However, I’ll do this in a way that doesn’t kill the fun or the spontaneity. Your time together as a family is really precious so it’s important that we make the experience as enjoyable as possible and true to life (without the tantrums, of course!).

“We all felt totally relaxed around Karen and were able to be ourselves and interact naturally as a family. We really appreciated how Karen took the time to bond with our son before starting to take photos. The whole experience was great fun and the photos are beautiful!”

“Karen did a family photoshoot for us with our one-week-old daughter.

She captured this magical time perfectly and we really enjoyed the experience.

Karen’s calm, observant, professional approach was invaluable, not only for our young children but for our pet as well!

The images are gorgeous and in a style that suits our family.”
