Jo is wonderful, I thought I’d just get that off my chest. She has amazing clients because she is an amazing person who can use a camera artistically to capture unique images. Her product is way more than photography. It is a lifestyle capture, with a bit of fantasy, a story laced with art. It gives me great pleasure to share 50 of her recent Child Portrait workshop images with you. The first set of 25 are of Poppy and George…
1 A fusion of colour. A mellay of hues within a limited palette. There's way more to a Jo-de Banzie portrait than is first seen.

5 If this was my daughter I'd have this photograph as a 50" x 30" canvas in my hallway. I know just how good that feeling is of playing with water in a pair of wellies. Mine weren't spotted though :(

50 Devine inspiration. Beauty to be appreciated on any scale. A fabulous picture that would lift any room it was displayed in.

Superb set of images. Love te use of flowers and foliage as a framing device
Absolutely stunning images- I LOVE number 24!
Jo, You were an absolute inspiration and i learnt so much. Putting it all into practice and it’s working! The light, the clothing, the empathy most of all. It’s creating innocence. Love your images! x
Loved the tones and the eye work! Brilliant!
Amazing portraits, loved every one of them.
loving every single one of it :) these pictures are very inspiring.
What wonderful colours, wonderful light, wonderful imagination, it makes me feel like a child again! I would love to do a course w u along w some editing
Hi from sunny Abu Dhabi!
Thanks so much for all the lovely comments. I had a fantastic two days with gorgeous models and equally gorgeous (but in a different way!) delegates. Thank you for making the workshop such a joy.
Photographing kids is all about empathy. Forget the clever stuff – the control has to be in the planning of the locations, backgrounds and clothes. But don’t underestimate the importance of this.
Beyond that you just have to let go and have some fun with what you have….oh, and practice, practice, practice, just like your piano teacher used to say…! Jo
What a set! I’ve got an outdoor session with a couple and their 2 gorgeous daughters tomorrow and this post has given me so much inspitation.

These images are wonderfully pleasing to the eye. Beautifully posed and very natural. PP is outstanding as always. Loved these set of images.
What a beautiful set of child portraits. The colours are truly amazing. Absolutely inspirational, and wish I could shoot a set of images like that.
Fantastic child portraiture. It doesn’t get much better than this. Bravo!
I love her children photography and was booked on a BIPP course with jo de banzie and gutted when it was cancelled because of lack of support! Would love the opportunity of attending a workshop!
Beautiful portraits with creativity.
Stunning portraiture. Beautifully captured and so creative. Something to aspire to.
LOVE the shots with the ribbon and the water reflection shot with Sammy. Marko’s children get more beautiful every day.
These images are absolutely wonderous; To be venerated and treasured.
A Inspirational , diverse and innovative set.
Simply magical on the eyes.

Gorgeous shots – the light and vivid colours are stunning :) I imagine everyone who attended learned a lot from this workshop!
I’ve had the distinct pleasure of being on a workshop with Jo in the past, Jo and her work remain as one of my strongest sources of inspiration. She was the first person to show me how to “see the light”!
If anyone is reading this and is “on the fence” about attending a workshop, don’t be!
This was a great workshop. Jo’s knowledge and willingness to share information was great.
Well worth experiencing this one with Jo. Great value and I would be more than happy to do another workshop with Jo and Damian.
