Portlick Woods Environmental Portrait Photography

Early in November, I did a shoot of three beautiful kids in Portlick Woods.  The shoot had been set up by the childrens’ grandmother, Mari who had plans to watch them for the weekend. The weather was absolutely perfect!  There was glistening sunshine streaming through the trees as we headed into the woods to capture this portrait session.  After we walked into the woods for five to ten minutes, the kids felt right at home. It was an adventure for them! I organised to photograph them first individually and then together in a lovely, relaxed environment.  The kids absolutely loved this experience.   

As an environmental portrait photographer in Ireland, there are not many days with beautiful, golden, sunny light like this. I loved the magical light in the forest during this family photography session. The family was wonderful, and the light was simply perfect. The photoshoot went so well, that I rang my wife so I could do a photoshoot with my own children here in Portlick Woods!

After the prints from this environmental portrait photoshoot were delivered, I interviewed Mari for some feedback. Mari had booked the shoot for her daughter as a surprise!

How did you initially find the Liam Kidney Photography website? 

I Googled photographers in Athlone area and came across your website. 

What did you like about his work? 

As I was looking for an outdoor informal shoot, I liked the informal outdoor shots on your website. 

How did you find the environmental portrait photoshoot?  Was it an enjoyable experience? 

 The photoshoot worked out brilliantly. A beautiful sunny November morning was an added bonus. 

Did the kids enjoy the photoshoot? 

Liam had an easy, relaxed way with the girls, in so far as they enjoyed their walk in the woods and barely noticed the fact that they were mainly there for a photoshoot.

When the photos were delivered from the environmental portrait photoshoot, how did you feel about them? 

The photos were amazing and made a lovely Christmas present for Karen. 

Is there anything you would like to add? 

All in all, it was well worth doing, and something I would definitely do again, and I was delighted with the quality of the photos. I would certainly recommend Liam for an environmental portrait shoot.
