twelve ~ some birthday portraits by Merille Jane Photography

Every year at about the time of my daughter's birthday we make some special portraits to mark that time in her life. When she is 18 I shall enjoy designing and giving her an album filled with beautiful portraits that show how she has grown from a baby. My wish is that it will be the sort of gift that becomes even more meaningful as she gets older and eventually (I hope) has children of her own.

For these pictures we kept things simple and just played about in the garden. I find that even the most ordinary surroundings can yield some interesting backdrops for my photographs....

There is such a simple timeless pleasure in playing with daisies on the lawn

This is our favourite and will almost certainly be used to update one of the frames on the walls at home.

I had fun playing with the light while my daughter had fun larking about.......

 

and I love the simple elegance of this shot.

If you would like portraits of your family please get in touch. My photoshoots usually take place at the clients home and even if you think your garden isn't 'good enough' believe me I can find areas for photographing in that will work very nicely, even in small spaces!
