Portrait & Model Photography Studio Shoot by Photographer Chris Hughes
Family Portrait Photographer in County Durham
Pet Photographer Durham
Baby Bump & Maternity Photo Shoot by Chris Hughes Photography North East
Chris Hughes Photography can accommodate family portraits, bump to baby photo shoots, pet portraits and model photo shoots. Portraits and photo shoots can be done in the studio or in the comfort of your own home. If you would like to try something different and get out in the fresh air of County Durham, why not have an outdoor photo shoot in a location of your choice. A nice woodland walk with the kids and the dog, or how about on the beach, it gives a very different dynamic feel to your portraits.
You can have a look at examples of my photography on my portfolio page.
If you are just starting out in modelling and wanting to create images for your portfolio or maybe an experienced model and would like to update your portfolio please contact Chris Hughes Photography.
