June at Phoebe Berridge Photography
/Moments with Phoebe
Welcome to the very first edition of Moments with Phoebe!
As we head into summer, I wanted to take a moment to share what's been happening behind the scenes at the studio, some helpful photography tips, and a few exciting updates for the months ahead.
Why Summer is Perfect for Outdoor Family Photographs
Summer is one of my favourite times of year for outdoor sessions. The longer evenings, warmer weather and beautiful natural colours create the perfect backdrop for relaxed family photographs.
Some of my favourite local locations include Ickwell Green, RSPB The Lodge in Sandy and Chicksands Woods. Each offers a slightly different feel, but all provide plenty of space for children to explore while we capture natural, genuine moments together.
If you're planning a family session this summer, think soft, coordinated colours rather than matching outfits. Creams, soft blues, blush pinks, sage greens and neutral tones all photograph beautifully outdoors.
A Reminder to Get in the Photos
One thing I hear from parents time and time again is:
"I don't like having my photograph taken."
As a photographer, I completely understand. However, years from now, your children won't be looking for perfection. They'll simply want photographs that include you.
Whether you're booking a family session, cake smash or newborn shoot, I always encourage parents to step in front of the camera for at least a few images. These often become the photographs families treasure the most.
New VIP Sitter Sessions
If you've previously visited me for a newborn or baby session, you may already have heard about my VIP Sitter Sessions.
These short sessions are designed for babies who can sit unaided but aren't yet walking, making them the perfect way to capture another milestone during baby's first year.
The sessions are exclusively available to returning clients and have recently been expanded to offer more flexible weekday availability.
Looking Ahead
Summer is already proving to be a busy season and I'm looking forward to welcoming both new and returning families into the studio and out on location over the coming months.
Thank you for continuing to support my small business and for allowing me to capture such special moments for your families. It truly means the world.
If you'd like to hear more photography tips, studio updates and exclusive offers, don't forget to sign up to Moments with Phoebe and join me again next month.
