Beautiful and Timeless Prom Portraits in our Studio

This year we thought we'd suggest full studio sessions for prom portraits. Its a common thing for girls to have hair trial days so why not take advantage of great hair and a new dress by booking in for some professional portraits. During a private session we have all the time in the world to provide a true fashion shoot experience. This will allow for outfit changes, background changes and multiple posing and compositions with some fantastic fully retouched images at the end of it all.

But don't feel this is just limited to girls. Boys are just as important as the girls and in some cases just as keen to have the fashion shoot experience. This really is a great time in a child's life to document before they head out into the real world and become fully fledged adults.

To go along with this we have a little offer as well. Our usual session fee of £75 has been reduced to £50 with the added extra of a fully retouched, mounted fine art 8x10 print. And for the first 3 people to book one of these sessions we are offering an entirely free session with £75 credit going towards the final order.

We have many gorgeous products on offer such as stunning framed wall portraits, canvases and my new favourite, fabulous print boxes that can include the digital files.

Each session includes an in person consultation to discuss and plan the shoot a week or so prior to the shoot. And the shoot is followed by an in person viewing where you can see all that we have created on our large projected viewing screen so you can place your order. It is truly an exciting experience for all involved which results in some wonderful portraits that will be cherished for many years to come.

To see more examples please visit our gallery here.

It is a great opportunity to capture a special time in your growing child's life. And I have no doubt that they will be thrilled to have amazing portraits to share on their social media.

If interested please contact us via our website here or send us an email to christina@christinalauderpotraits.com and we'll send you our current price list so you can see all we have to offer. Alternatively you can also reach me on my social media accounts.

I am Still Me: A Story about a Transgender Boy

Meet Leo. Leo is 15 and currently going through an epic transformation that has momentarily turned the lives of himself and those around him upside down. A mum who once had the daughter she always longed for is now coping with the realisation that she will be living the rest of her life with a son instead. When your child is born you have certain expectations of the typical life they will lead but most of us know and accept that it won't necessarily end up the way we imagine. Not every person wants to marry, have kids or be involved with the opposite sex. Most of us have come to accept this and can adjust to whatever comes our way relatively easily. But few of us have expected to have to deal with a change in sex. Its not that we've hoped it won't happen, but just that it never occurred to us that it might. This is a new adjustment that we as a society are being presented with today, just like so many others that have come before. When I first heard that Phoebe

5 Reasons you Should Consider Getting a Professional Headshot

Headshots, or profile pictures are becoming a requirement of so many tools we regularly use or reference today. From Facebook to Linked In, Instagram to Twitter and often any website that represents a company for which you work or own will have a place to include a photograph that is meant to show your audience who you are. And how you present yourself there will tell your audience so much about you. 1. A profile picture is your first opportunity for your audience to see you. Its often the first impression you make and we all know you only have one chance at a first impression. A professional photographer has the skills to show you in the best, most suitable way to give a great first impression. (These headshots were created for recruitment firm Optima UK who asked to have their logo placed behind them. I think it makes these headshots quite eye catching and they should do their job well.) 2. Using a professional to create your headshot will convey yo

I'm a Portrait Artist and Variety is the Spice of My Life

I often admire the work of other photographers. I'm always having a browse or spotting something interesting on Facebook or Pinterest. Many of them have a very consistent style and subject, as is the case with many newborn photographers especially. This has made me wonder if perhaps I'm not developing as a portrait artist as well as I could be. We are taught early on within the realms of the photography world that we are to develop a distinct style and this of course must be clearly evident in any upper level qualifications panels we choose to submit. However, when I look at my own work over each passing year I fail to see the same consistency. I don't have a particular subject in which I specialise. I can photograph anything from newborns to teenagers, toddlers to families and even the occasional male nude. How can you put these together in an album and form a beautiful collection that I see many other photographers displaying so well.

Little Ballerina's

I just love a little girl in a tutu. This style and subject appeals to me so much that I am now creating a display for the local dance school The Vicky Anne Academy of Dance and Drama in the hopes that it inspires some of the mums who take their little girls for classes. For a session such as this you are welcome to bring your own outfits or we are happy to provide you with a tutu of ours you can use for the session. I have a daughter myself who's been taking ballet classes since she was 2. I really wanted to capture this aspect of her life for a keepsake I will cherish forever as dance is such an important and large part of her life. So I set out to create something special, something more than just a typical school like photo. If you want to see the portraits I created of my daughter please click here . I just love the the images I was able to create here. They match the image I had in my head perfectly. The girls were wonderful and highly coope

My Fellowship in Child Portraiture, Baby Photographer of the Year and All Things Convention Related

Its been a very busy year for me. Hence the reason I've not been keeping this blog up to date. That's about to change though. I anticipate this coming year to be even busier but I plan on getting a lot more organised and keeping on top of things like this. For now though I'd like to tell you all about last week. I keep trying to think of some words to describe this past week and I keep coming back to 'I had the time of my life' and breaking into song in my head. Apart from when my daughter was born I haven't had a better time in my life. This week was spent at the Societies Convention where in excess of 14 thousand photographers from around the world meet to take part in print competitions, submit qualification panels and join in on various classes and events. The week began as one of the most stressful of my life. I've never felt nerves like it. I'd just spent the best part of a year planning and preparing my 20 image panel to present to 5
