Portrait Photography in Southend, Essex
I originally started off with portrait photography and studio lighting which I still love although I have a new found appreciation of natural light since shooting weddings. Getting to know clients before a shoot is a great way to capture exactly the look they are after. As with wedding collections I always like to create a pinterest board where both the client and myself can post images so we know exactly what kind of feel they are trying to capture when it comes to the day of the shoot. People come to me for various portrait requests, actors that need images for spotlight magazine, business owners that want images for their websites, families that are worried about their children not sitting still (don’t worry….none of them do!) fashion companies that need images of their catalogs or simple head-shots for online profiles. Whatever your portrait photography needs may be please contact us here at DoodleShots where we are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Nearly 3 years since we got this crazy little being, Minnie, from Rovers Dog Rescue one of the best decisions we've ever made. She can be a dofus at times but we wouldn't change her for the world ❤️🐶

What do you do when you fancy half hour shooting at the last minute? Make the Cheebs pose obviously 😆

So lovely to be able to capture Laurie & David's wedding, albeit teeny weeny compared to our usual days.
They have had to reschedule more than once due to the current situation but decided to go ahead with a ceremony and still have the original celebrations they had planned when they can have everyone with them.
Was a pleasure to be there and looking forward to the big celebration when we're eventually allowed to again.

Last year I entered the Master Photographer Association's international print competition. I got through to the print round but no further. I told myself that this year I would try to get a merit.
So pleased to get 4 images through to the print round and receive my first merit in the internationals this year with this shot of the lovely Nathan & Chris on their wedding day taken just before all the Covid madness.
Another couple of images were pretty close to having enough points so that can be next years goal maybe...more than one merit? 🤞
Thanks guys for being so naturally in love and helping DoodleShots get a Merit ❤️

Look at this gorgeous little family 😍 We had the privilege of capturing Steph & Billy's wedding a couple of years back. It was so lovely to see them both again and meet their beautiful daughter Eleanor when we met up for this family shoot on their 2nd anniversary, making the most of the sunshine a few weeks ago.
Looking forward to some nice autumnal shoots coming up soon. Drop me a message to find out more about couple or family shoots this autumn 🍂🍁

A very HAPPY 1st ANNIVERSARY to Vikki & Dean.
I'm keeping everything crossed that weddings will be able to go back to the great atmosphere of this one eventually 🤞🙏❤️

I took this photo at the last wedding I shot, 7 people, all had to wear masks. Thought this image kind of summed up the current situation for those of us that work in the wedding industry.
Not sure what the point of this post is really, just having a bit of a sad moment editing and thinking about how all of our lives have had to change so much.
Sending lots of love to all my couples that are still waiting to have their day and all my fellow wedding photographers and suppliers that are basically unemployed for the time being 💔🙏❤️

Last year I didn't get any prints through this far. Totally chuffed to get a print through to the merit stage this year! 😁
