Families & Portraits

Family life, familiar faces and the animals that share our homes. Patrick photographs families, children and individuals in places where they feel comfortable, taking time to get to know them and allowing their personalities to come through.

Sessions are relaxed, with gentle direction when needed and space for things to happen naturally. From a portrait at home to an afternoon outdoors, each commission is shaped around the people involved and photographed with care and discretion.
