I am the co-founder of a networking group for working parents here in Dorset called Lemur Linkup and at our last meeting we arranged for a local photographer to come and take some head-shots.
During my session I got chatting to David from DK Capture about the photo shoots he offers and mentioned that I wanted to get some images of the kids done.
We have had sessions done with him before and one of my favourite photo’s of Eliza is from a messy photo shoot he did when she was a toddler. Now he has even more fun shoots to his bow, including box shoots and trampoline shoots.
He was taking bookings for a trampoline shoot on the day of Eliza’s birthday party and I couldn’t resist booking them in.
I will admit that after a couple of hours of climbing, it did take some convincing to get them through the door, but once they were in the studio it was a full on giggle factory.
The idea was for them to bounce as high as they could on a trampete, whilst they pulled some funky moves for the camera.
Let’s just say Eliza was a complete natural. She seemed to master every pose offered to her, whereas it took Isaac a few tries to get the hang of it.
Sebby struggled the most, as it’s tough to get sufficiently airborne when you have little legs, but David still managed to get some brilliant shots.
The more poses they pulled off, the more they wanted to try!!
David has put together some fabulous montages of the photographs for me, although now I have the tough decision of choosing which ones to have printed.
DK Capture is a photographer covering Bournemouth and Poole and specialises in family photography. He also offers fashion, boudoir and model makeovers in his photography studio along with Commercial and promotion photography.
I will certainly be booking in with him again as I want to get photo’s with all 6 children. His box sessions are ideal for that as they we don’t all have to be in the studio at the same time, which is the issue we have at the moment because the three older ones all work.
Would you like a fun photography shoot with your family, or do you prefer more traditional photographs?
Aww wow what a fun idea for a photo shoot! You must be so happy with how the pictures turned out 🙂
What a cute photoshoot! Watching them all so happy made me smile. And posing really is a natural thing for Eliza!x
These look great! I wish David’s studio was closer. I love the idea of capturing fun like that, rather than posing.
I love these! So much fun and capture them really well
Oh wow, what a cool shoot! I love this idea! Great pics 🙂
I am loving the shots here. So cute! Always like a good old fun family photoshoot.
Love these photos, so fun and funky. I bet the children had a blast posing for them
I would love to get some photos taken of the children. We’ve done it once before but the photos were so terrible which put me off!
These photos are fabulous especially the collage ones and will look great in their bedroom. Trampolining photos are a cool idea, as kids have so much fun!
What a great idea for a shoot! I think getting children to engage with a camera can be tricky so having something fun they would love really helps.
Oh I love this! What a fab idea for a photo shoot! So much energy and fun, my kids would love to do this!
What a fun photoshoot! So different to other kids photoshoots I’ve seen, and really captures the characters of each child 🙂 x
Eliza is absolutely the pro here isn’t she, looking as though it comes so naturally x
Kids are natural posers, aren’t they? I love shots like this because I think you get to see the kids’ true personalities.
What an absolutely fabulous photo shoot! The kids look like they’ve had so much fun, and the results are amazing!
These are such fun photos and such happy faces doing this way too
These are so great! Candid shots are always the best and you can definitely get some brilliant one when bouncing on a trampoline. And of course it looks so much fun!
How very fun is the photography session I know my nephew would love to be bouncing up and down whilst is picture is being taken.
Such fun! These are great images and you can’t help smile.
Top tip: Trampolines aren’t just for kids, if you’re taking grown-up portraits, one trick to get the subject to relax a little is to get them to stand on a trampoline, and let them bounce—just slightly, instantly helps them feel disarmed.
Great shots!
