One of the most common questions I’m asked when families book a photography session is what time of day works best. The short answer is: it depends. The quality of the light makes an enormous difference to your photographs, and this varies at different times of the day through the year. But it’s just as…
Wow, what an incredible year of family photography it has been! Photographing family connections makes me so happy, creating images that capture all the love and joy in your lives. I have loved hearing all the feedback from families so delighted with their images – thank you so much for all your lovely comments and…
If you are wondering where to have your family photography session, I recommend you read this. Your own garden could be the perfect location for your photos. It’s so much easier to have a session at home. No packing up things to take, no last minute rush to get out of the house. The children…
Are you thinking about having your family photography at the beach? I am based in the South West, where we have a multitude of really beautiful beaches. This means that I carry out a lot of my family sessions by the sea. The coastline is such a beautiful backdrop, and the beach can be a…
I recently had the pleasure of carrying out a newborn photography session at home in London with baby Mira. It was a really gorgeous session and I’m delighted to share a few of the images here to you to see. There are lots of types of newborn photography, and different ways that you can go…
I’ve been so excited to share some more images from some of my recent family photo sessions. This one took place near Exeter, which is particularly local for me. It’s quite funny – I’m a family photographer based in Exeter, but so many of my sessions are further away. I cover all of Devon and…
I’m not sure I know where to start with this ‘best of 2024’. It has been a really extraordinary year for my family photography, and amazing for me to look back across now. I’ve been photographing families across the South West for nearly 15 years now, and this year really has been particularly special. This…
What is the best time of year for your family photography session? Well, ultimately, you can have your family photography at any time of the year! But there are lots of things to take into consideration, and I’ll run through a few of these here. Hopefully this will help you to decide when to organise…
I carry out newborn photo sessions in homes across the South West. Here are some images from a lovely newborn session in Taunton earlier this year. It was really special to spend a little bit of time with the family at their Somerset home, and create some photos of all the family together. With a…
This has been the most wonderful year of family photography and I’m really excited to share some images with you. I’ve always loved keeping family photography alongside my wedding photography over the past decade. I’m now only taking on a very small number of weddings each year, so that I can really develop the family…
I loved this newborn photo session with this family at home in Devon. I photographed Craig and Sarah’s older son Reuben when he was a baby, so it was particularly special to return for a session with Jacob at the same age. It’s always really wonderful to catch up with families I have photographed before….
I recently had the pleasure of capturing this family photography session at Saunton Sands in Devon. The session took place in the morning, which turned out to be a great choice. It felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves at times, which meant everyone could properly relax and enjoy themselves. We had such a fun…
I have been looking forward to sharing some images from this evening family photography session at the beach. It was just about as close to perfect as it gets! We had such gorgeous weather, and it was an absolute delight to photograph the family on holiday at Hope Cove in Devon. There was even a…
What should we wear for our family photography session? It’s one of the questions I get asked all the time, and I thought it was worth writing a separate post about. I want the whole family photography experience to be really enjoyable for you. Your clothing is a really important part of your planning. The…
So how does a newborn photography session at home work? What should you expect? Do you need to do anything to prepare? I hope this will answer everything that you need to know about your newborn photography. I always photograph newborns in the comfort of your own home. The aim of the session is to…
I’ve been photographing families on location in Devon for over a decade, so I’ve got a very good idea of the best beaches for family photography. The South West is such a beautiful area. There are so many amazing beaches, as well as the moors, forests and general countryside, and it provides so many options…
All the laughter, all the warmth and cuddles, all the love! This year of family photography has been an absolute whirlwind of joy, and the hugest pleasure to share. I’m such a huge believer in creating family photographs, as I know how ridiculously quickly these days pass. It’s just so important to grab the moment…
Ah I just loved this family photography session in North Devon. I’ve been looking forward to sharing some of the images for ages! Amy is a wonderful family photographer herself, but wanted to be in the photos along with her own family during their Devon holiday. Photographing other photographers is always a bit of a…
Can pets be in our family photos? Should we bring our family dog to the photography session? It’s a solid yes from me! Your pets are part of the family, so I’m up for making them part of the shoot. I’m not saying it’s going to be straightforward, but that’s half the fun. If we…
2021 has been the most incredible year of family photography. It has been a year where families have really appreciated the opportunity to be together. In some cases, after a period of not being able to do this. It has felt even more important to photograph these times when they happen. I’ve photographed families all…
