Family Photography Focus

One of the brilliant things about having young kids is meeting other like minded parents. The young family in this blog I knew locally, and whilst I’m not the best at shouting out about myself, during our passings it somehow came about that as well as my telly work and ‘mumming’ that I’m a family photographer too. Having had a look at my portfolio, they decided they loved my photos and documentary style photography and booked me to capture them with their small people, whilst they’re still small.

Intimate Family Photo Shoot

The family wanted an intimate photo shoot at their beautiful home, so that I could take a record of what their time at home typically looks like. A potter and play in the garden, chilling in the lounge and lots of cuddles and family moments. With my sessions there isn’t necessarily a need to do anything special, time at home with the kids is just as perfect as a walk to your favourite woods or beach location.

Settling In

I made myself comfortable with the kids quickly, I like to do this by having a chat: asking them what their favourite toys are, what they like doing and accompany this with friendly smiles. Before we knew it, I was embedded and lying on the floor taking photos of playtime.

Here are some of my favourite photos from this family photography session. At the request of the family, they wanted non-identifiable shots of their wonderful children included in the blog, which is why we don’t see their lovely faces. But, I do think these photos capture the intimacy and magic from a beautifully simple family photo shoot.

Enjoy!

Capturing Connections

Blimey, it’s been a minute!

Blog writing isn’t something that comes naturally to me, I’ve never considered myself a ‘wordsmith’ and you won’t be surprised to hear that I’m more of a visual kinda girl, hence the, you know, photography and that.

But, lets agree to forget that it’s been nearly 8 months since my last blog, and I’ll take us to one of my shoots from 2024.

A young Mum reached out to me as she wanted to freeze frame a moment in time and capture the magical connection she has with her young daughter. This is one of the fantastic things about family photography, by investing in a photographer you can keep these memories, moments forever.

The shoot was such a joy, cakes were baked, toys were played with, beds were jumped on! I stood on chairs, laid on floors and pulled funny faces to get the shots and I’m so pleased to share these photos.

They’re a great example of the joy of the small moment, the small detail.

If you’re ready to invest in your family’s memories please do get in contact and we can plan an adventure together.

I hope you enjoy these nuggets of love and connection.
