Laura Eperjesi Photography

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.

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 must apologise for being so behind with my blogs. I blame it on this Volcanic Ash !! We did get caught up in the flight disruption and were stranded in Hungary. However I consider ourselves the lucky ones. We did manage to get a coach home. Once you accepted that it was a long old journey back and there wasn’t much you could do about it. I almost quite enjoyed it. Nothing to do for 24hrs ……just staring out the window. Quite relaxing really! I will post some of my holiday pics soon ………..if you’re interested?

Promise.

I love photographing babies, especially when they are just a few months old, as that moment passes all too quickly. I seem to be photographing lots of babies lately……..not that I am complaining. Its one of my favourite shoots. Henry was no exception. Gorgeous big eyes that I adore. He loved having lots of attention and was very contented being adored my mum , dad and me ! One of my favourite shots is the one of Henry in his mums arms and you can see all those creases in his perfect skin. I also love the shot in his fathers arms where he looks so safe. The light was beautiful. 

The best thing about my job is that I get to see my little babies grow up! (Although it does make me feel like a Grandma sometimes.) The first year is when they grow so much. That is why, once you have paid for your photo shoot, it is valid for one year and you don’t pay for another one….. only the photos. So you can get me back again and again to capture the different stages. This was Grace’s second shoot and it was her first Xmas.Looking forward to seeing both Helen and Grace again soon. I have lots of favourites as usual……..

I went to visit Finlay at his home. He is a lucky boy as he is surrounded by his family….literally. Fortunately they were all there the morning of the shoot so I could get one shot of everyone together …..including the dog( lovely cocker spanial). We had lots of fun in the garden with supersize bubbles and then playing on the bed with mum and dad. Finlay is a big Take That fan……that makes two of us! I love this first one as he was just changing his shirt and I just caught him topless! Gorgeous eyes. These are my favs……

So this was supposed to be a Pregnancy Bump photo shoot but Ethan decided to join the world a little earlier. He must have been excited about Xmas! I do enjoy photographing babies when they are just a few weeks old. It such a magical time, especially when it is your first. You can almost see them growing they grow so fast. That is why I like to capture their vulnerability. I really like the one of Peter, Amilie and Ethan on the bed. Its very ‘Hello Magazine’ but who cares if you look gorgeous!. Looking forward  to seeing you all again in the summer and meeting more of the family. Here are some of my favourites…….
