Mum and Daughter — Alter Ego Portraits

A plan comes together!

We love it when a plan comes together. Biba came to the studio with her mum Annie to share a fun filled Mother and Daughter shoot. When it was time to photograph the “record player set” Biba announced that she had always been a fan of Neil Young and had brought one of his albums along, to which Martin’s wife Karen replied, “so was I!”

Karen whizzed home to pick up some more album and Biba was delighted to be able to feature them in her gorgeous photo.

For those of you who don’t know about Neil Young, he was a 70’s pop star, not actually one from the 50’s. (Shhh!) Harvest, the album featured in the shot was his fourth LP in 1972 and he’s still recording music today with at least 37 albums to his name!

What’s fabulous about an Alter Ego Portraits shoot is that you can make the shoot personal to you, just like Biba did. If you’ve got gorgeous silk stockings you’d like to wear, wear them. If you have your own 50’s dress, wear it!

The time in the studio is yours to enjoy and if you can bring props or items of jewellery to make the pictures special and more personal to you, the results will be even more spectacular.

Here’s what Biba had to say: Can’t recommend @alteregophotos enough! Thanks guys!

Thank you SO much for the photos, they’ve arrived! Couldn’t wait to get home to see them again love love love the records shot! Taking my laptop to work tomorrow to show them off to anyone who will look! x

Take a look at a selection of pictures we adore from their time in the studio.

blog post about Alter Ego Portraits mum and daughter photography

It’s always nice to receive lovely feedback. And even better when someone is kind enough to write about their experience on their blog. Recently Annalie from the Shopping Queen of Olney blogged about her experience with her mum and her daughter. Here’s a link to her blog. Some fun behind the scenes photos in there too.

Introducing mother and daughter photography by Alter Ego Portraits

December 4, 2012 by martin

Our beauty photography experiences have always been popular with mums and daughters, or even three generations. We’ve been so overwhelmed by the reaction we’ve received to the photographs from these sessions that we’ve decided to create special sessions just for mums and daughters.

These are beautiful intimate experiences designed to create and capture a beautiful moment in time. Mum and daughter looking stunning in fabulous timeless images to be treasured.

As with all Alter Ego experiences a full hair and makeup makeover with a professional stylist is included. You may opt just to have hair styled for younger daughters but it’s fine if you want them to have make up too.

Take a look at some of our favourite images from recent sessions. Then visit our mother and daughter photography page to see a full gallery.

A mum and daughter experience makes a fabulous gift. Gift vouchers are available now to buy online.

A beautiful Mum and Daughter shoot

July 23, 2012 by martin

Our Alter Ego Beauty Shoots are ideal for mums and daughters. They are a fabulous way to spend quality time together, indulge in some serious pampering and enjoy some gorgeous photographs. If you want to really indulge you can book a whole day session which gives plenty of time for a studio session in the morning followed by a location shoot in the afternoon. With lots of time for changes of outfits and even a different hair style for the afternoon.

We were thrilled to welcome back Raksha for another shoot with us to celebrate her beautiful daughter Mili’s 16th birthday. They are coming back to see their photos so these are just a few sneak previews! As always we started with soft, flattering natural light images in the studio in the morning, then went to some of our secret special locations for a fashion-inspired shoot in the afternoon. Enjoy!
