Lifestyle Family Photographer • Specialising in natural light, on location, reportage-style shoots to celebrate love, life & family...
Tag Archives: Victoria Akbik Photography I have often talked of my love of an extended family shoot. I feel passionately that it’s so important to grab every chance possible to celebrate being together – simply letting the generations enjoy and share precious time in each other’s company. It’s so important for families – especially with so many of us living […]  An Abu Dhabi souvenir themed shoot was in order, as this was another family on the brink of making the BIG move from Abu Dhabi back home. Oh, what a sweet set of four siblings in this family – so neatly divided with two boys and two girls. I loved each and every one of their personalities […]  Oh wow! We shared so many smiles, giggles, japes and laughs interspersed throughout this gorgeous family photo session. It was a real pleasure to share time with Mr F and his wonderful family and celebrate this time in their lives. f I always try to encourage my families to see their family photo shoot as a […]  Realising how many lovely family photo sessions from past shoots that I’ve not blogged before… I thought it was high time that I shared them. It always makes me smile remembering these times – each and every family is unique and I truly love meeting my families and getting to know them. It was a hot and […]  “A baby fills a place in your heart that you never knew was empty.” – Anon It was a joy meeting Mrs K and her husband for an at-home maternity photo shoot in the perfect setting of Saadiyat Beach Villas. We had fun making the most of the different settings within their gorgeous Villa, included some little baby momentos, basked […]  Another in my series celebrating Summer 2015… During the holidays, I love my RaFa to embrace the ethos of ‘childhood unplugged’. It’s an indulgent time to fuel their imaginations, feel their roots, explore & sense freedom, re-connect with their English family and experience English life. I wonder at their imaginations and can’t resist grabbing my camera to quietly […]  Continuing my series celebrating Summer 2015, here is something a little different to illustrate the fabric of this house – my English childhood home… I can’t express how fantastic it is to have the indulgence of time to explore other sides of my photography personality. I’ve mentioned before that I am so blessed that I am able to […]  Continuing my series on Summer, here are some more family memories… A burst of colour from our trip to the Stratford-upon-Avon Butterfly Farm. As my regular readers might already know, my RaFa thrive at this city haven – it’s honestly one of their favourite places. As ever, it’s always a wonderful time to savour Nature’s tropical colours with […]  During our English Summer 2015, an opportunity arose for my daughter to be part of a London video shoot for an online beauty campaign for a large UK retailer. She was lured with talk of wearing a special dress, getting her hair & make-up done, AND earning her first fee to boot – not bad for a six year […]  I’ve talked before about my love of photography starting at a very early age. So young, I really can’t remember a time that it wasn’t part of my life. The flame was ignited with my Dad’s camera; I just never got over the endless fascination of being able to freeze a moment in time and hold […] |
