Family Documentary Photography in Essex
Our photography is about people, not just of people.
In short, we help you, tell your story.
Who are we?
We are Sian and Ross Miller.
We run Shining Through Limited from our home in Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex. Our photography services stretch to the whole of Essex.
Photography is our passion, and it's a joy to help or customers, you, to produce the photography you will really love - photography that you will want to share with your friends and family.
We photograph on weekends, so if that works for you, please get in touch.
What we do
Family documentary photography is a method of photography that mixes photojournalism with family everyday life. It makes beautiful art from family normality.
It presents life honestly. All I ask is that you trust in the process and be yourself. With that, wonderful, authentic, meaningful and beautiful art can be made.
As a guide, this is what we do not do:
- pose
- prompt
- direct
- change the environment
- change what we see
So you can see that booking a session with us is less controlling than booking with family "lifestyle" photographers. It is less stressful, more fun, and for many other reasons, listed here, is why we specialise in this method of photography. For frequently asked questions, please click here.
