Laura Eperjesi Photography

I was delighted to be asked to photograph Fiona and Richard’s wedding this July. They thought they wouldn’t be doing the ‘wedding thing’ again but you all know my moto……Never say Never! I am so looking forward to it as the children will be very much apart of the special occasion. I went to meet all the family at their home in Wilersey. The girls were very natural and very gorgeous! I love the one of Georgina and the her cat. I’ve put far too many on the blog but i just can’t choose. The happy couple!

The main aim of this session was to get a shot of all the grandchildren together. Katy was the youngest and at first didn’t want to comply but gradually with lots of distraction, encouragement and patience she fitted in nicely. Then they were all set free to do their own thing. I love the shots of Alice, she’s a natural beauty with striking eyes. Teenagers don’t know how gorgeous they are. We had lots of bright sunshine, which can be a nightmare for me but great for our spirits. The boys enjoyed playing with the rocket launcher and making lots of bubbles. Looking forward to making up your books.

I was delighted to be asked back to photograph the Thompson family, as they have a new addition to the family………..Laura! This time we spent time at home just chilling out. I love the shot of Toby washing his car. (Although it looked pretty clean to me) . They say you should never work with children and animals and I do both. So it was great to get Roly the dog involved as he is of course a very important part of the family. Toby enjoyed playing with his train set and reading his favourite books. I love the concentration on his face. Laura’s bedroom was pure and pretty and we couldn’t resist putting her in her towelling robe. She looked just ready for the spa….. darling!

Well I nearly fell off my chair when my 16 year old daughter Emilie asked me to photograph her with her friends for her 16th birthday. I was so surprised as I (as her unbiased mother ) thinks she’s a stunning beauty and would love to photograph her more but seem to get the hand in front of the lens treatment lately! So not only do I have a gorgeous girl but it seems all of her friends are too. They were all good fun and up for anything. Jo I hope you like the wallpaper? Some were more camera shy than others but I got them to practise their facebook pout. Here are just a small selection of the shoot. Emilie had a great time as I know how important her friends are to her (more than revision!). Good luck with the GCSE’S girls and good luck too if you are moving on to a new school.Emilie is going to miss you .x

I went to meet the Evans family at their home near Stroud. Being a bit of a Towny, I enjoyed being in the countryside for the morning. Alice , Bryn and Lily were great to photograph. Fortunately the weather was kind to us and the kids were happy playing in their fantastic, huge garden (the downside to being a Towny…..small garden!) They enjoyed good classic fun like mud pies, swings and tea parties. Although Lily looks a little disgruntled in the tea party shot……..but that’s life! We then decided to make some real cakes whilst Lily went for her morning nap. Chloe told me that she’s the one taking all the family photos, therefore she’s not well represented in the family albums. I was concious of this and wanted to capture her naturally with her family. After all mothers do all the hard work……we deserve to be recognised!! xxx

Danielle was very kindly bought a family photography session as a gift. Although the Francis family have four lovely children we decided to concentrate on the newest member of the family, Henry. Danielle also seemed sure that this would be her last. Never say never !! Henry was a happy baby and loved playing with his big brother William. When the girls came home I could not resist a family shot and all four kids together. Rare moments not to be missed.

Well, as you can tell I am on a role with gorgeous babies at the moment. However each baby, family, home is unique. Hopefully this is reflected in my photos. I just let things happen and use my heart when I see something. I was delighted to be asked to photograph Florence at her home. She was a very placid baby who enjoyed lots of attention. However all that attention can be tiring! She seemed to nod off quite easily with the little help from gentle rocking and her thumb! Perfect.

Camilla was very generously  bought a photo shoot from one of my clients. It was to celebrate the arrival of Luka. Very gorgeous he was too. I went to visit them at home, despite having the builders in for a kitchen extension. There is no time like the present. No point in waiting for the perfect moment…. as the moment is now. Fortunately Luka and Maya were a delight to photograph so  it made my job very easy. Maya loved watching her little brother ( and the TV). What struck me about both Luka and Maya is they shared the most beautiful skin and dark engaging eyes. Lucky them! My favourite is the one of Maya looking over mummies shoulder. Hope you have a great holiday and that volcano behaves itself.

Well I am on a two week Easter Break with the Family. No school runs……. Bliss! However I have discovered that the hotel has internet access and I can just sneak in a couple of updates on my blog whilst the family are otherwise engaged!

I went to meet Alison and John’s lovely girls Daisy and Holly at their home. Despite having a rough night  everyone was in good spirits on. Holly was just 6 weeks old and Daisy had just become the new ‘big sister’. Two little girls that seem to get on well already. Holly seemed in awe of her big sister and Daisy not phased at all by the new arrival. Holly was a very happy baby and smiled on queue. I enjoyed just hanging out with the girls, reading Beatrix Potter and playing with necklaces.! I look forward to meeting them again in the summer.

I was very excited about my next shoot as I had met this lovely family before but not for photography. Bronte is a beautiful baby girl with gorgeous eyes and a great mass of dark hair, just like her mum!  Laurel is a very loving  little sister with a great imagination for mermaids. I was pleased that we managed to get some shots of them together as we did have mothers day looming and I knew I had a task to fulfill. Unfortunately Bronte had a bout of colic and was happiest bounced up and down in pouch attached to her mum (rather like a kangaroo). Great for colicky babies not so great for photographers. I particularly like these first two as it tells it as it is. Patience is a virtue …………mothers need lots of it sometimes.
