recent eastbourne family portrait.

This is David, Vicky and their children, Daniel and Sophie.. I just love this family shot, intimate and really shows the relationship within this family. 

They partook in the Cystic Fibrosis Trust Charity offer, paying £25 to the charity and getting a voucher for a full session, a framed 10x8 portrait and £50 off the portraits they decided to display on the walls of their home. I can't wait to show them the finished products.

Another Eastbourne family in for family portraits!

Sally and Aaron came in today for their portraits of little Owen. I have already photographed their eldest daughter, this time last year in fact.

So here are some initial edits of Owen's first baby portrait shoot in the studio, just 12 weeks old, and already fantastic at it.

It was great to show a customer of mine the new set-ups and refreshed studio, and to be able to shoot some very special baby portraits for Sally and Aaron.

my new backgrounds are causing quite a stir and people are loving how different they are! No more hi key white backgrounds, more natural and soft, to suit my style of family portraits.

Here are some recent favourites.

This is Jayden and Jasmin.. both so photogenic and the perfect little brother and sister!

ICT 4 Autism

This is Sally and Andy Huggett.

Sally is the mother of Daniel. Earlier this year Sally struggled to get a proper diagnosis for daniel, and fought to get him recognised as having Autistic Spectrum disorder. Something which is very hard to do.

one is 65 boys, or 1 in 100 children are born in the UK with Autistic Spectrum. Sally is campaigning hard to increase awareness of Autism in the UK and to get Autism higher on our governments agenda. The cause is a tough one, as it is so hard to diagnose so early in children, and there is not much provision to deal with the associated problems.

Today is the date for the launch of the "Look into My Eyes" campaign, trying to highlight the fact that there is a child behind the eyes of each person with Autistic spectrum. At the moment these poor children are little more than statistics..

At Avant, i try to capture the essence of a person in my photos, and this is done with the power we have to communicate with the eyes. A famous person once wrote, "the eyes are the insight to the soul", and this i keep close at heart with all my photos.

One of the main issues with children with Autism, is their reluctance to make eye contact. Something i know i would find hard as a parent to live with each day. To not have my son Morgan look into my eyes and smile would be heartbreaking. Sally hopes to raise funds to buy specialist equipment to work with autistic children to help develop their interaction and help give more fulfilling live to those with the condition.
