Baby Jack | New Born Photography | Gavin Conlan Essex Wedding and Portrait Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com | www.facebook.com/gavinconlanphotography

I recently had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous little boy Jack aged 10 days, he was absolutely fantastic and already had the posing technique of a seasoned professional model.

The key for me with this shoot was his little personality I really wanted to focus on this in every shot I took and to make the captures more flexible everything was shot using a mixture of available light and video light.  I don't like shooting using flash on someone so young as I think it could become uncomfortable on the babies eyes.  

The shoot was so much fun we captured some great expressions inbetween the occasional power nap (baby Jack not me), you can view a selection of my favourites from the shoot below and I really hope you love them as much as I do.  

If you are interested in booking a session with me you can get in touch via my website or on here.

London Fashion Photography | Gavin Conlan Essex Wedding & Portrait Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com

Nearly two weeks ago what turned out to be one of the last days of decent weather before the April showers started we decided to shoot some imagery.  We started off in Bermondsey Village then moved over to More London on the Southbank, More London is a great area near London Bridge Underground Station but unfortunately like most parts of London nowadays its private property so you need to prepare yourself for dodging security guards.  

It really does annoy me that your everyday tourist has no problems taking photographs but as soon as you pull out a bigger camera you get jumped on and made to feel like you doing something so badly wrong - I personally think these job worth security guards need to start using common sense.

Again this shoot was with the lovely Dina she's been featured once or twice before - we always have a right good old laugh shooting and we always get great results, I hope you enjoy these images.

For those that are interested in the technical side of things all these shots were taken using only available light and shot with a Nikon 50mm prime lens.

Personal Family Portraits | Gavin Conlan UK Wedding & Portrait Photographer based in Essex | www.gavinconlan.com

I thought I'd post some personal photographs today, I took these over Christmas when we were all together - nothing beats having the whole family together.

Modelling for us today is my sister, my nephew and two of my little cousins (oh and the rest of the avengers crew :)... All photographs were taken during the half time of the football who says men can't multi-task - not only was I listening to the half time banter I also managed to capture these stunning photographs of my relatives. 

All photographs were taken using one nikon speedlight shot through a lastolite Ezybox softbox.

I hope you enjoy and have a great day.

Ps.. incase you were wondering yes we did win the football match....

I love this photograph - family portrait session | www.gavinconlan.com

There are certain images you can't explain but just fall in love with and this is one of those.  I was photographing my little cousins a couple of weeks ago and absolutely adore this shot it's jammed packed full of his personality and it just makes me smile so I thought I'd share it with you all.
