I am delighted to launch a brand new product offering today - “The Storybook”.

This 20 page, 8x7” softcover book, will now be a standard offering as part of my photoshoot fee, with the option to purchase more copies (for Grandma ) if you wish!

I know from feedback, that many of my clients struggle to choose just a few of their favourite photographs for prints and frames (probably because I always take way too many photo’s!) so I have decided to add this as part of the overall offering, to ensure my clients get the most out of the photoshoot

For more information, or to book a photoshoot - contact Emma to discuss your requirements.

Last week I travelled back up to Reading, to photograph my old Marketing Director, who has also recently changed careers! Sara is now a Personal Trainer and Yoga Instructor, and is setting up her new business, Kaizen PT, which she needed some pictures for.

The weather was gorgeous, so we headed out to the countryside to capture some yoga poses outdoors. We had a lot of fun, and I even managed to make Sara pose on one leg in the shallows of a river (revenge for all those reports I used to have to pull together at the last minute!! )

I wish Sara all the best with her new venture, and can’t wait to see the website once it is up and running with all the pictures from our photoshoot

Having moved recently to beautiful Somerset, I have been delighted to meet and photograph a few local families already The Maxwell family live in the same village as me, and have a beautiful house near Hestercombe Gardens.

Their Grandmother lives in South Africa, and their mum wanted me to capture some photo’s of them all so that they could give some photo’s as a gift during her next visit.

I have to say, these kids are some of the most fun I have worked with! I was still smiling whilst editing the photo’s after the shoot! Thanks Charlotte, Jessica, and Bradley for being such good fun!

I photographed Noah in July last year, so it was lovely to go and meet him again a couple of weeks ago! He is such a happy and contented boy, and was an absolute pleasure to work with! Who can resist those gorgeous blue eyes?

These wonderful clocks, coasters, and candle holders, are by my little sister, Nikki, who has set up a shop on Folksy selling her recycled creations

She also has a blog at noon28

Nikki says: “I love all things design and have a passion for making things from ‘scrap’ that I find. I get a certain satisfaction from steering clear of high street retail chains and think the more bespoke, custom and individual the product is, the better really”

Her materials are sourced from fallen timber, broken or redundant products and any other found material she can salvage from in and around the farm she lives on, that would otherwise be destined for scrap.

We had a really good photoshoot capturing the creations, on location in our mum’s kitchen! I am looking forward to photographing more of her work over the coming months.

Good luck with the new shop Nikki Noon!

I recently photographed little Austin here, who was a real character! He has the most adorable dimples, and had plenty of smiles for me

I recently had the pleasure of photographing these sisters, who were great fun!

Luckily the weather was good - the sun was out, and it was warm, so we went for a wander and got some lovely photo’s outside - which makes a change from the indoor shots i’ve been doing over the winter!

Thanks Rhianna, Caitlin, and Holly for being such brilliant models, and making it such a fun photoshoot

Happy Friday everyone!

Last but not least, here is my nephew Eddie, younger brother to George and Ava. Eddie is a real little character, as I hope you can see from this set of photographs. We had great fun on this photoshoot, and when Eddie saw me photographing George’s new Converse trainers, he had to have a feet shot too - bless him

Meet Ava, my beautiful Neice.

Ava is at that age where silly faces in front of the camera are the order of the day, and she is great fun! A real girly girl, fave colours are pink and purple, but also a bit of a tom boy I think

I am very much looking forward to her 5th birthday party later next month, when we are having a big family get together back in Somerset. No doubt the camera will be out to capture more silly faces from the birthday girl.

Here is a little set I put together, featuring my nephew, gorgeous George

George has been a willing model for me ever since I picked up my first SLR camera, when he was about one! I have never tired of photographing him - he has his mum’s beautiful big blue eyes, and such an expressive face.

He was very pleased to show off his new Converse trainers, which he bought with birthday money from his Grandma. Very cool George.

Oh, and the tunes playing on his iPod that day were mostly Rhianna as far as I remember!

I’m just back from spending a couple of days with my gorgeous Nephew’s and Niece. Realising I haven’t got too many recent photograph’s of them, I thought I would take the opportunity to capture a few while out on a walk yesterday afternoon. I couldn’t resist uploading this, as I was pleased to have captured all three of them together.

I do enjoy photographing children when they are out and about playing, and being themselves, and think you get a much better idea of their character this way, rather than with posed studio images.

George, Ava, and Eddie are such fab kids, I love them dearly. Looking forward to Ava’s 5th Birthday weekend next month!

Last weekend I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing young Ellie, a charming aspiring actress, who needed a set of headshot portraits for her portfolio. We had a really good photoshoot, capturing lots of expressions, and lots of fun!

Although the weather was not brilliant, we did venture out into the garden, and Ellie had a bit of a break from all the posing to get some fun action shots as shown here

Best of luck with your future acting career Ellie - you are a star already

A few weeks back I was invited to photograph an NCT Group that a couple of my clients are part of, and I jumped at the chance! It was lovely to join all the lovely mum’s with their gorgeous babies for a cup of tea and a chat, and to take all their photo’s of course!

All the babies were fab models and we didn’t have any tears during the individual shots. I did come up with a crazy plan to put them all down together and get a few images, but the moment the idea came out of my mouth, I knew I had just suggested chaos! We went for it though, and I did get a few cute shots - although the chaos I predicted was correct!!!

Anyway, great fun all round I hope you like the pics.

I’m very excited to be launching a special offer for Mother’s Day, throughout February and March!

The photoshoot can be for the whole family - or simply with the children if Mum would prefer not to be in any of the pics... although I may try and sneak one or two in, as I promise Mum will be glad I did

Get in touch to find out more about the offer, and to get a date booked in for the perfect Mother’s Day gift...

January has been a busy month for Emma Cavill Photography, meeting lots of new people, as well as visiting a couple of regular clients

A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to take part in a photoshoot with the brief to capture ‘before and after’ shots for an Image Consultant who, among many things, specialises in colour analysis.

It was fascinating to see what a difference the right colours made! We also had a lot of fun in the studio, so many thanks to Alison for hosting, and to all the lovely models for their enthusiasm and cooperation!

This is one of my favourite images from the shoot, not one that was for the brief, but Harriette and I had a bit of time to play around with some poses, and I Iove the slightly cheeky feel this one has.

For more information about colour analysis visit House of Colour

Earlier this week I braved the snow to travel out to meet Claire, an HR consultant, who needed some headshot portraits for a new website. We had a lot of fun during the photoshoot, and I got to play with a bit of off-camera flash as it was such a dark grey day.

Thanks Claire for being such a great model, and I wish you the best of luck with your consultancy business

Meet Toby, a young baby I had the pleasure of meeting last year. When I arrived at Toby’s house, his Mum told me he was quite shy, and was not always very smiley around people he didn’t know... however Toby sat quite happily while I photographed him, and didn’t cry once! A very content baby, and the perfect model.

I really enjoyed capturing the interaction he had with his Dad in the picture on the left, and love his expression on the right as he is just about to break out into a smile

I am looking forward to seeing Toby again this month, and meeting some of his friends at his Mum’s NCT group - more to come on that soon!
