Ever just wanted a decent picture of your child??

Ever just wanted a decent picture of your child??

March 25, 2019 Events

You all know the routine – you have a child that won’t sit still, that struggles with a new environment, that cannot or will not pose for photos. There are many frustrations from families that just want a decent family photo and are unable to get one. One of the main concerns is that the photographer will not understand or be patient enough with the child. That the child will end up frustrated at being forced to pose in a way they do not want and the session ends in a melt down. 

I have so many families contacting me before these sessions worried about how it will go – and I always tell them the same thing.  You don’t need to worry – not with Dean. 

Dean has many years experience working with families who have children with additional needs. His experience stems from his personal life and his work life and shows itself beautifully in his photos. We’ve never had a family come away unhappy and in fact many declare that this is the fist time a photoshoot has been successful. You can’t really ask more than that! 

Although I didn’t go along to this photoshoot (we just leave him to it now!) I’ve been myself with my children and I can speak from first hand knowledge at how good Dean is at capturing every person’s personality. My two eldest children are polar opposites. I have one that won’t say a word when she’s out and just stares at people and I have another who is impossible to pin down and speaks at around a million words a minute and yet its not a problem. Trust is earned within minutes and the children are giggling away at Dean’s entertainment. They love him to bits now. We generally start with the loud one! He’s up for all kinds of poses and shows off while Dean snaps away (they’ll always be one that isn’t a blur!) The quiet one stands and watches and slowly prepares for her turn then when its is I even glimpse a rare smile. We can then persuade them to have photos together and, dare I say it, even hug…(they’ve hit that age after all!) We’re never disappointed and the results always end up on the wall!

But don’t just take my word for it. Here’s some feedback from Little Hiccups parents:

Picking the photos on the laptop

“Fantastic experience. Dean greeted the boys, made them feel at ease in a judgement free zone! We’ve done a few photo shoots before but never been able to get good pictures or had the boys enjoy the experience before. Fantastic photos, great stress-free experience. Would highly recommend to anyone who dreads the ‘mission impossible’ of family photos.”

“We went to deans and from the minute we walked through the door he was so pleasant and welcoming and made Ella feel so at home by letting her be herself. She loved every minute of it and he managed to get her to sit in the box for the photos to be taken and even got some amazing smiles from her. (No idea how as when I ask her to smile for pictures she acts the clown and pulls funny faces) she loved looking at the photos he had taken on his laptop before taking some more. The finished in the box picture is amazing. We will be booking with him again at some point through the year because we loved it so much”


“Dean was brilliant with us and great with Jack. He really put us all at ease.”

“I cant believe this little beauty came from me.. i know im biased but hes sooo beautiful. He absolutely loved his photoshoot the little poser. Thankyou little hiccups xx”
