welcome to genius photography

We would like to introduce you to the 'world of genius photography' and how, with your help, we can provide you with the most stunning selection of photographic images in a variety of different formats and all within our affordably priced packages.

photographing children

Our aim is to photograph children in their own space playing with the toys and treasures they love most. Every child has a unique character and personality and it is these attributes that we try and capture in each and every shot. That heart melting smile, that cheeky grin or that mischievous 'over the shoulder' look captured in time for you and your family to treasure.

Ideally we would commence the photo session soon after breakfast when children are at their happiest and only too ready to have fun. Whether helping mum bake a cake, painting a masterpiece or just happily playing with their toys, we'll be there to capture the moment. If you want to be more adventurous we have some fun 'props' designed to enhance their unique personality.

If it's OK with you we'll take photographs all around the house wherever your child is happiest. If the weather allows we'll move to the garden or the playground. Some of our most memorable shots have been taken when children are enjoying their favourite outdoor activities, like playing on the slide, being pushed on the swing or just kicking a ball around.

But moods can change so we try and use this time to best effect by photographing them discreetly in their quieter moments. Maybe just relaxing on their own on the sofa or the floor or cuddling mum and dad, sister or brother. We can achieve really fabulous shots when children are thoughtful and pensive and unaware they are being photographed.

photographing your family

While we are photographing your children we try and include a relaxed and informal family photo session involving mum, dad and siblings, even grandparents, laughing and generally having a good time just being yourselves.

Traditionally posed portraits are great and we're happy to oblige but nothing quite compares to a set of informal, candid photographs capturing a happy, loving family enjoying each other's company.

wedding photography

The single most important day in a girl's life but with the pre-wedding preparations and mixed emotions will it all be just a blur when the party's over?

Will you remember walking done the aisle, repeating the wedding vows and watching your husband's face as he makes his speech? Will you remember your first dance together as husband and wife? Will you remember stepping on to the dance floor for the last waltz then leaving to go on your honeymoon to start life as a newly married couple?

We will capture those magic moments and produce a wonderful photographic record of the day. A beautiful photo book to keep on your coffee table? Maybe you would prefer an amazing dvd slideshow with customised titles and a music soundtrack or perhaps a series of stunning colour or black & white prints to share with family & friends? The choice is yours.

The whole story of how the most important day of your life unfolded. All those wonderful memories for you to treasure in the years to come.

We guarantee that with genius photography your wedding photographs will be elegant, romantic and sophisticated.

photographing celebrations

A bar-mitzvah, a confirmation or maybe an engagement party, whatever the celebration you will treasure the photographic record of your special day. Whether you choose a dvd slideshow with a music soundtrack or a series of stunning colour or black & white prints to share with family & friends the choice is yours. Just wonderful memories to treasure in the years to come.

maternity and newborn photography

The combination of maternity and newborn photography provides the perfect photographic record of your life changing experience. The way your body changes and the new life that's developing within.

Pregnancy is a unique and amazing experience for every mother and we can capture this very special moment in you life. You need to be totally relaxed and comfortable which is why we arrange the photo session in your own home. We can use different rooms in the house to combine different backgrounds with varying shades of natural light.

We recommend that you book your maternity portrait session between twenty-four and thirty-two weeks. Please try not to leave it too late just in case baby decides to arrive earlier than expected.

While all new born babies are incredibly cute and cuddly we have learned through experience that it's best to wait until they are at least 6 - 8 weeks old before you arrange their first photo session, by which time they can smile, focus and really engage with family and friends.

photographing babies at 12+ months

We really enjoy photographing babies as no two are ever alike, even siblings. Each baby we photograph has a special character and personality all of their own and it is this unique combination that we try and capture in each and every photograph we take.

Baby's well-being is paramount so we do everything possible to fit in with their needs. Feeding times, nappy changes and short naps are all part of their daily routine and essential for a happy and productive photo session.

All babies are cute and were born to be photographed but, without you even realising, time passes so so quickly.

In the blink of an eye they are babies no more but toddlers running around the house causing chaos. So begins the next phase of their young lives which is why keeping a photographic record of their early development is a decision you will never regret.

We will capture those magic moments and produce a wonderful photographic record for you to treasure. Maybe a beautiful photo book to keep on your coffee table or would you would prefer an amazing dvd slideshow with titles and a music soundtrack? You could also choose stunning colour or black & white prints to share with family & friends? The choice is yours.
