🌟 We’ve Earned Our Understanding Autism Badge! 🌟
🌟 We’ve Earned Our Understanding Autism Badge! 🌟
We’re delighted to share that we’ve recently received our Open University “Understanding Autism” Badge!
This achievement reflects our commitment to learning, inclusion, and creating a welcoming environment for all children and families. Every child deserves to feel comfortable, seen, and celebrated — especially in front of the camera.
Through this course, we’ve deepened our understanding of autism and strengthened our ability to support children with additional needs during their photography sessions. From creating calm, sensory-friendly spaces to allowing extra time and flexibility, we’re dedicated to making every experience relaxed and joyful.
We’re so proud to continue our journey working with children of all abilities, capturing genuine moments that families can treasure forever.
📸 Thank you to our amazing clients for trusting us — we can’t wait to share more beautiful stories soon!
Our Annual Christmas Minis: A tradition we treasure.
Every year, as the twinkling lights go up and the holiday spirit fills the air, one of our favourite traditions returns - our famous Christmas Mini Sessions! What started as a way to capture a little seasonal magic has blossomed into something so much more. These sessions have become an annual event for so many families, and we feel incredibly honoured to be part of their Christmas traditions.
It’s pure joy watching little ones grow from year to year, seeing families add new members, and witnessing the love and laughter that make this time of year so special. For some these minis are the start of the Christmas season - a moment to pause, gather together, and create keepsakes that will bring smiles for years to come.
We love hearing stories of our photos finding their way onto Christmas cards, framed on mantels, printed on mugs, or tucked into albums as timeless reminders of each season. And the best part? Families come back year after year with the same excitement - kids remembering the fun, parents cherishing the tradition, and us getting to celebrate those milestones with you.
This year, we’re especially proud to share that our sessions are now officially Autism, ADHD and spectrum/ SEND friendly. We have studied all year to university level and received our qualifications, we’re committed to making these shoots a welcoming, comfortable experience for children with additional learning needs. whether that means allowing extra time, creating a calmer environment, or simply following their lead, we want every child to feel relaxed and celebrated during their session. As parents we know only to well from our own family experiences how hard this is and how magical it can be to have lasting memories.
Our Christmas minis aren’t just photo sessions: they’ve become a way for us to connect, celebrate, and grow alongside the families we adore. To everyone who make this part of your holiday season: thank you. We can’t wait to see you again this year and capture even more magical memories together.
Here’s to another season of joy, laughter and Christmas magic that’s affordable to everyone.
Still the same price of £35 for all digital images.

Autumn has arrived.
It’s that time of year again where we can start to cosy up and feel the magic of letting things go.
Autumn is our favourite time of the year here at Emotion Picture Photography. We love to decorate the house with pumpkins, spooky things and candles.
We love the turning wheel of the year a time to slow down take stock and be together.
Crisp walks with colourful leaves beneath our feet, cosy cafes and hot drinks.
The time before the Christmas rush.
This year we would love to capture your Autumn moments whether it be in our Autumn studio mini shoots ( please see the link below to book) or out in a beautiful park with autumn leaves dancing around you ( Please contact us at Ian@emotionpicture.co.uk).

Framed in light
The leaves will fall, the days will drift away,
But you and I - we caught the light that day.
A shutter blink, a smile we didn’t pose,
Now lives forever where the memory grows.
Catalysts the welsh sound that won't let you sleep
Catalysts the welsh sound that won't let you sleep
On a dreary Wednesday evening in the backstreets of Newport, I met up with one of Wales’ rising rock bands, Catalysts! Nothing new here; the Welsh music scene has always been close to my heart and a significant part of my photography work. However, this time, it felt different.
The location was a post-apocalyptic, run-down side street that would have fit perfectly in a 1960s B-movie. As I parked and locked up my car, I noticed something unusual – not the smell of damp mildew and crumbling concrete under foot, but a powerful sound. It was both new and familiar, evoking a sense of longing and desire for more.
Suddenly, I was drawn to the muffled tones emanating from the One louder studios the location for today’s shoot. Ascending flights of New York-style fire escape stairs, I was buzzed into the building and headed to the main recording studio.
Upon entering, everything changed. The power, the light, the apocalyptic drive of Welsh music that so many had forgotten existed. It was all happening in just one room, hidden away from the city’s smoke and hustle, oblivious to the magic and power brewing within its walls.
From the ultra-powerful vocals delivered with drive and passion to the scientifically tight drumming, to the guitars that were played to the edge of destruction yet as if they were an extension of the musician’s limbs, this band possessed a unique energy. Normally, this level of gusto and sprit was only seen from time to time from old legends, but now, we had a new type – one driven with so much passion that stillness was impossible when surrounded by this euphoric envelope of audio.
This five-piece from the valleys of Wales was as if they were one, conjuring a magical spell that captivated me with their rock riffs and attitude. It was unlike anything I had ever encountered before.
The band came to a halt with some coy smiles and introductions, who were Dave Challenger on vocals Haitiam on drums Paul gripping his bass as if his life depended on it. Craig on guitar with a glint in his eye and a cheeky smile. And who can forget Elliot another guitar muse I found myself in the presents of. But much of the pleasantry passed over my head due to the stunned state I still found myself in. Despite this, the band remained calm and collected, chatting as if nothing had ever happened. They were oblivious to the spell they had already cast in just a few short bars.
From the first few moments you knew instinctively that these guys mean business. They were about to put in some serious overtime.
As best as I could I followed my notes and went to work trying to capture this magic as best as I could.
Now I know my way around a camera and light and how to show and capture feeling and emotion I do it daily. but there was something else happening here that no amount of photographs in the world could convey
Tune after tune, this Providence band delivered a flawless performance. Every note and vocal was pitch perfect, and the confidence flowed like wild rivers, engulfing me in a sonic tsunami. However, I found myself caught in a web of mindblowing riffs, the sheer power of the five-piece absorbing into my own person.
This isn’t something a camera can capture – no photographs, no video cameras can capture this. It’s something you can only experience in real life.
Catalysts are more than a Welsh rock band; they are the essence of Welsh music personified. If you’re lucky enough to see them live, be warned: the lyrical and musical spells they cast are strong and unshakeable.
The night after the shoot, I was lying wide awake in my bed at 3 am, while the rest of the family and the surrounding streets were sound asleep. But this music was controlling me. Instead of joining the rest of the world in a peaceful slumber, I found myself replaying the hooks and the liquid lyrics over and over in my head.
Who needs sleep anyway? This music is my adrenaline now, filling my mind with a higher state of consciousness.
You have been warned!
Caer Llan - A wedding in a beautiful country house just outside Monmouth
For the first time we had the absolute pleasure to photograph a wedding at the stunning Caer Llan just outside Monmouth. It’s a family run wedding venue set in the heart of the Wye ~Valley.
As a photographer who has had the pleasure of working at many venues, I particularly loved the fact that during the wedding the venue is exclusively yours. This includes all the guest rooms, pool and stunning gardens.

Tips for coming to a cake smash photo shoot
Everyone’s favourite shoot for 1 year old birthdays are our Cake smash shoots. So I thought id give parents and carers a good few tips to prepare.
Prepare the baby: Let your little one try some cake before the shoot so they are comfortable with the taste and texture. Also try feeding them some on your finger during the shoot to encourage them to play with it.
Bring a toy your baby likes so that they have something familiar to play with and can be calming.
Choose a time when your baby is well rested and in a good mood.
Choose a soft moist cake with buttercream icing so it is easy for your little one to get stuck in.
Bring a change of clothes.
Be patient this is very new for your baby.
Not all children will smash the cake but don’t worry we will get lovely pictures anyway.
All our shoots come with a mini family shoot as well.
Mini family shoot and cake smash with all the images in your own personal digital gallery for only £89.00.
