This was a great shoot with Mum Sue and Dad Alex in Ashstead Surrey, after spending some time at home with the cheeky roary and adorable Hannah, we went to Alex’s old school grounds, the reason I enjoyed this shoot so much is that it took no direction, I was just a an observer watching Sue and Alex have fun and play with their children…priceless.
Sherri is over eight months pregnant with her second baby, and it’s going to be a little girl, this shoot in Surrey was not only a pregnancy shoot but also a chance to get photos of her first child 2 year old Taylor. Sherri and her Husband Mark have the most wonderful garden, just perfect for getting shots of Taylor, we fed the chickens, chased butterflies and found a few snails, and I followed Taylor around as he collected up what he had found in his bucket. Sound idyllic? it was really. Surrey Photographer Toni Ward.

Andrea contacted me as a conveniently located Surrey Photographer with a brief of family shots that showed the English countryside, she is the assistant head of lower school at TASIS and has been here for 6 years, and is now going back home to America. So with her husband Greg and the completely adorable baby Lucas, she wanted something to remember her time in England that she has enjoyed so much. After shooting in the grounds of the school we set off to Windsor to get shots with the castle in the background, here are the results I really like them. Andrea and Greg are a great couple and I wish them good luck with their move home.
Joanne runs a personal business development company www.makingnowcount.co.uk and wanted some headshots for her website,
this shoot was done at my home in Thorpe and in the village. We had good fun and literally stopped traffic! especially as Joanne had told me that she hated having her photo taken, after she had to admit that she actually enjoyed, and I think you can see that in the images.
There has been an exiting change to Toni Ward Photography, I now have a viewing gallery. After every shoot clients can now come to me to see a premier of their images on a large screen, we have a slide show set to music (which most Mum’s and some Dad’s say makes them want to cry, when they see their little ones, ahhh, that makes me want to cry a bit)
It is a great chance to really see what the possibilities are with their photo’s, it’s no good having all of these great photos and then not knowing what to do with them. I have examples of my work hanging on the walls and a fantastic new software that allows me to build one or a number of images in to one frame and show clients on a large screen exactly what it will look like in actual size. This has been a great move forward and the results have been even happier clients, getting the most out of their photo shoots.
Here is a pic of me showing some of the room.
Jenna contacted me as she had seen the skin on skin shots on my website and wanted something similar with herself, Husband and son Daniel. What a beautiful little boy Daniel is and the perfect age for these kind of shots, he has the most amazing blue eyes( just like his Mum ) as you will see. Just adorable.
Sorry but could not help adding in their dog, what a face!
Carol, her two sisters and brother had this photography shoot as surprise for their Dad’s birthday. Ten years ago they had a portrait taken of them and thought it was about time that they had an updated version, only this time around two of them have married and had have two children, and they are also now both pregnant with their second children at the same time!
So this time we had little Max and Olivia to include, it’s always really nice knowing that the end product is going to be a surprise gift, because you know that it is going to be some treasured and looked at continually.
For this photography shoot we had three generations of the same family and as most of them are gardeners it’s no surprise that we went savill Garden in Windsor great park, a really great and loving family which I think really shows through in the images. This shoot was a birthday present from Suzanne and her sister to their Mum who was thrilled, they all enjoyed the shoot and have chosen some really great images to hang in their homes that we now be treasured for years to come.
Here are a few of my favorites
This was a fabulous location, Alice holt forest in Surrey, somewhere I had not been prior to Erin’s 1st birthday shoot. A real family affair, with a lovely picnic, a wander around the woods to take some photographs with Mum, Dad, Erin and her big brother Ethan. I think the outcome is really great. But with a location like this and two completely adorable subjects how could it not be.
Ray here has had his shoot to use for his business profile pictures, a glorious day down by the river in Walton, lets hope it lasts……………….
