gill maheu photography: professional lifestyle portrait photography based in Annecy, Geneva, Rhone Alpes

back on a beautiful late autumn day last year i was lucky enough to do a family portrait lifestyle shoot for this gorgeous family.  recently i delivered the colourful leather albums and classy white frames and i have just had a lovely thank you note from them – "a gorgeous afternoon in mid-november captured in beautiful photos. thank you again for your work gill"  - which just seemed like the perfect excuse to put my favourite shots from the shoot up for you to see ….

and my absolute fave    …

myriam, ronan and the girls thank you again for a really, really fun afternoon with you all  x

on a vraiment eu de la chance mercredi dernier !!!   il avait plu tous les jours depuis une semaine mais l’après midi de notre séance photo : grand ciel bleu et soleil d’automne… Bien entendu, on en a profité à fond !    myriam, ronan et leurs filles adorables voulaient des portraits de famille … et  …  je m’avance peut être un peu…  un prétexte idéal pour faire une bataille de feuilles et l’occasion rêvée pour chasser des bulles de savons !    on s’est beaucoup amusés et comme résultat, il y a des photos très sympas de la famille… merci les filles, vous avez été géniales, des vrais pros !!!    ci-après quelques unes de mes photos préférées…

how lucky were we with the weather last wednesday ?!!!   it had rained everyday for the previous week, it threw it down the next day but the afternoon of the shoot we had clear blue sky, autumn sunshine and a lot of fun.   myriam, ronan and their three gorgeous daughters wanted a family shoot, mainly as an excuse to have a leaf battle and bubble chasing afternoon i reckon… along with some cools shots of them all together.   they were great fun to be with and the girls were fantastic in front of the camera … naturals. here are a few of my favourites …

merci encore pour une séance de famille super         thank you again for a really fun afternoon !

it was my first brilliant trip to the lake district to the Annabel Williams Studios to do the Big Picture course in june 2008  that really gave me the confidence to do photography full time – an amazing course and amazing models !  here’s a little retrospective ….

thanks again to the whole team  !

these are my favourites from the last shoot on my recent trip to staveley.   the course that day was the digital workshop, stewart randall patiently and brilliantly took us through digital workflow from setting up the camera, to the shoot itself, post editing  to printing – very useful and informative.  keisa, our model,  was fantastic and put up with all of us and the pouring rain – the heavens had literally opened !!

thank you stewart and keisha for a brilliant day !
