Here at The Real Life Studio we incoporate your lifestyle into your photos.  So no more “mottled brown” backdrop and your Sunday best, from now on it’s all fun and games interactive shoots.  We have even had clients tell us that our photoshoots feel more like a playdate than a photo session and that’s exactly what we are aiming for.  Small kids tend to give rather “cheesy” smiles are certain ages and our solution is to play and entertain them until they have no other way than to laugh at our silliness…

Our skills range from Professional photography (obviously), singing various nursery rhymes, Barney theme songs and Spongebob Squarepants as well as juggling three coloured balls as good as any circus clown.  Playing hide and seek behind the camera or blowing magical bubbles and all this to get your little angels to smile (welcome to out normal work day…)

I think the patience we show in the studio stems from our absolute passion for photography.  We know that if we keep pulling faces and tickling the kiddies they will give us a beautiful smile which we can capture and you can have forever.  In essence it is similiar to having the power to freeze time.  We always welcome personalised props into our studio so if you think your family kind of resembles the mafia and should have had a surname like Figueiredo then you are more than welcome to bring your sunglasses, cigars and serious expressions along to your shoot.
