Honest Opinions please!!!

We are thinking of having a photoshoot of the DC's and have come across this website

www.lornas-portraits.com

I absolutely love the style, DH thinks it is a bit creepy.........

Also anyone recommend any London/South East photographers??

Thanks

DM

They're not to my taste - I think they look a bit contrived. Personally I prefer a natural snap of dd laughing or busy doing something. But I think that about most posed shots of children so perhaps I'm the wrong person to comment.

If you like them then go for it.

I don't like them

to me some of those say 'no it is not enough that you are a wonderful little girl, I want a picture of you made to look like Red Riding Hood / a princess / a fairy / someone other than yourself'

and the overdone hair and makeup makes me

this one is awful!

dont really like them, look a bit like something from a horror movie!
Soz

too creepy and over styled imo

ken sharp much nicer imo,I have not used him yet,he was recommended by another mumsnetter.

i dont like them they look a bit spooky lie that film 'the others'

Thanks so much for your comments - I really wasn't sure a bit poncy perhaps???

ilike them in a creepy kinda way. id haveone done.

suppose its v v expensive

actually not to bad compared to the likes of venture - £395 for A3 which i think is reasonable....

I am still on the fence on this one!!!

I lkine some of them. The one with the ice creams is ok for example.
this is giving me nightmares...

my son would adore one of him like thiss

My dd would like this one

They are quite funny some of them. I'd do it for a hoot and because you all secretly want to be a Lemony Snicket film, but not for beautiful pictures of your children.

I'd go somewhere else for that.

actually ahundredtimes, i think you have hit the nail on the head...this is moe of a "one off, fun thing" rather than a natural photoshoot....I am now thinking they are 2 seperate things..........

ggirl, have you any idea how much ken sharp would cost? I think some of those pics are really lovely

pippo- costs here

I think it was aitch who had some photos of her dd done

thanks you

have also found this...

www.garethjohnson.com

Really lovely stuff outside I think.......

trouble is, how do you choose!!!!!!!!!!

just so very wrong

prefer ken sharp I think

These came up recently on another thread and I was one of the few people then that didn't like them!!

I think they're incredibly contrived and rather too forced for my taste.

I prefer really natural pics - we had some done of DD1 in a local studio, in black and white, and the female photographer had her jumping around, laughing, rolling on the floor etc. They were beautiful and cost pennies compared to Venture for example.

i think they're nice

but the pregnancy ones are wrong!
