Something that we love here at Boggio Studios is mixing our passion for creativity with the wonderful families that we get to meet when they come into our studios for a shoot.
This week’s family is no exception. Ellie and Sarah first heard about us through the Wimbledon & Wandsworth NCT group. They said, “We are keen to support local business in the area and after looking at the website we liked the feel of the pictures and hoped that the shoot would provide us with something unique.”
When asked about why they chose to have a family photo shoot they said that that they wanted to really celebrate their baby’s birth. “It was a special occasion for us. After our baby was born in August 2012, we wanted to celebrate the new addition in our family.”
“A family portrait captures a moment in your life and can be shared by all family and friends. Photos make a house a home and we wanted something unique/quirky for our home which reflected our personalities.”
The shoot was obviously a very relaxed affair as Ellie and Sarah both said, “Things never seemed a rush and it’s very relaxed. We had plenty of time to play with him between shots and this really helped to get the most of the shoot. Kate, our photographer was lovely and we couldn’t fault her efforts in trying to get our little one to smile, which is no mean feat when a camera is pointed at him! The studio was relaxed and welcoming. After we had a lovely cuppa and a chat, the shoot seemed to take no time at all and our baby particularly enjoyed the car. It was just a shame he was too young to sit up in it!”
When Ellie and Sarah came back in for their viewing, they brought Sarah’s parents with them as well. Ellie says, “We really enjoyed popping in to view the photos and Sarah’s mum was particularly impressed and shed a few tears!” They chose some gorgeous images for their wall and I would like to think that we met their dream of creating with something unique for their family home. It’s not every day we get to help a little one to fly!
We absolutely loved having you in the studio, Ellie & Sarah. We’ll have to get the three of you back in again when your little one is big enough for the car…our creative juices are flowing on how we can create a car themed piece of wall art for you.
