MICHAEL RODWAY PHOTOGRAPHY

Beautiful Family and Children Portraiture

 

Savour the love of today for the memories of tomorrow

Being in front of the camera can be daunting for many. It’s not uncommon to feel self-conscious or hesitant about having your photo taken, especially when those precious family moments are at stake.  I aim to provide a relaxed natural environment where families can be who they truly are without awkward poses and false smiles.

Using natural surroundings to highlight the beauty of those I photograph, my aim is to capture the true you, the essence of the love that makes you a family.

How it Works

Part of being a photographer is providing advice on anything you may need help with, whether clothing, bringing dogs, or reassuring you that it will all be okay on the day.  I am available to speak to you whenever you feel the need.

CONTACT MICHAEL

Contact me via website, phone, or social media for a chat or to book a shoot which costs £99, and includes a full photo shoot with no time limit and two beautifully hand-edited digital images at full-resolution, to print from, share and cherish forever with your family and friends.

PHOTOSHOOT

On the day agreed, we will meet at a location that will give the best opportunity to create stunning images. Light and location are extremely important, so we will discuss locations prior to meeting.  If it rains on the day or the weather isn’t suitable, we rearrange at no extra cost.

PHOTOGRAPHS

Following your shoot we will set up a viewing online where you can choose any two images from a selection of edited files [info].  These can be viewed from the comfort of your own home and to make it easier, I don’t even attend so there’s no awkward deciding with a third party present!

” We recently had a four-generation photo shoot with Michael in the woods and a fairy shoot straight after. We had so much fun and laughter that my 98-year-old mother still laughs about it.
The photos have captured beautiful and true moments in time that we shall treasure for generations to come.
I cannot recommend Michael enough for his skills, professionalism, fun and his artistic creativity.  He worked with a family of seven, ranging in age from a newborn baby to a 98 year old.  
A huge,  but beautifully successful feat, the results are stunning.  Thank you Michael.”

“As a special gift to my wife, our children arranged for a family shoot with Michael. The time spent with Michael was fabulous; he had chosen a wonderful location for the session and was extremely professional and friendly, making everyone relaxed, including our two young grandchildren, who had a blast. The final images were amazing, capturing our family perfectly. 

Would highly recommend Michael Rodway Photography and will not hesitate to book Michael again.”

” We’d 100% recommend Michael – his photos are simply amazing. We’re so grateful for his patience – both with persevering with the weather and with a very ‘busy’ toddler who tends to glare daggers at the camera! “

Capturing the Soul, the Essence and Beauty of  Who we Truly Are

ENJOY A STRESS-FREE PHOTOSHOOT EXPERIENCE

After many years of photographing families I realise how anxious many of my clients feel prior to a shoot ” will my children throw a wobbly or behave?” ” will my partner hate the whole experience” ” what if the weather isn’t great on the day?” My job is to make the whole experience, stress free and enjoyable. A leisurely walk in the country side with photos and family time.  

NO PRESSURE, JUST BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS

Like you, I loathe pressure sales! I believe in an open and honest approach with my clients who come back year after year. You’ll pay a deposit, which includes a full professional photoshoot and two beautifully edited images. Additional images are available but there is zero pressure from me to purchase more.

CAPTURING YOUR FAMILY’S NATURAL BEAUTY

Your family is a natural, growing, beautiful entity, and I strive to capture its essence.  I love photographing in scenic locations such as fields, riversides, beaches, and other picturesque spots that reflect the beauty of nature in Cornwall.  Enchanted Forests for fairy shoots and so much more.  Find out more about Michael Rodway.

These settings provide a stunning backdrop that complements your family’s uniqueness.
