Hanretty's family portrait

This shoot was done on the quiet as the family were wanting to surprise their parent's with a gift for their silver wedding anniversary. They wanted to keep the photo-shoot quite relaxed and informal and their parent's were really pleased with the results. Having the photographs taken outside (environmental portaits) brings another dimensions to an image - it tends to lose all the stuffines and formality you associate with a portrait and captures a bit more personality.
