I wanted to share this lovely Dorset family photography session. It was just so wonderful for me to to capture! I photographed Nat and Mat’s wedding near Weymouth several years ago, then had the huge pleasure of photographing their family together at home in Dorset when baby Leo came along. So it was completely wonderful…
I had such a brilliant Exmouth family photography session with the Ireland family recently, hanging out on the beach and creating some lovely family images for them. Steph and Greg particularly wanted to celebrate Teddy walking, and create a set of photographs that captured the way they love spending time together. They have the most…
Photographing families is one of my absolute favourite things to do. I obviously capture a lot of weddings too, and I also adore that. But there is something a bit different about family photography. With a wedding day, you are expected to have a photographer; you expect to have wonderful images of the whole event, that’s…
This was a bit of a special shoot, as it was to celebrate Florence at one year old! I’ve been photographing her since she was a newborn (and her lovely parents and older brother long before that!), and it has been absolutely wonderful to watch this gorgeous little girl growing up through her first year….
It was such a pleasure to spend a weekend morning with the Connor family in Exeter. I love photographing families at home. There is something really special about having photographs of your family, in your own rooms, with your familiar surroundings. That normal everyday time that you spend in your home is so very wonderful,…
If you are wondering about a newborn photo session at home, then have a look through this post. There is something so incredibly special about those first few weeks with your newborn baby. That little cocoon that you create for your family, that space within your own home. It’s where you find your feet and…
I absolutely loved this photography session. The Northam family are officially one of my absolute favourites. I photographed Lisa and Nick’s wedding back in 2012, then captured their first baby Elliott through his first year in 2015. Now their family has grown further, and I have had the pleasure of photographing new baby Florence at…
When you are two years old (or to be completely fair, at any age), there is possibly nothing better than rolling around in long grass and hanging out with your family on a warm summer evening. And so, this was pretty much all we did for the Sevink family’s photography session. They are lucky enough…
I photographed Laura and Alan’s wedding a couple of years ago, so it was a huge pleasure to visit them for some relaxed family photos at home. Especially with their gorgeous new addition to the family! With babies, it is always better to have at least part of the shoot at home. Otherwise, they tend…
These are some images from a wonderful family shoot I did recently – photographing the gorgeous Ursell family at home on their organic farm near Exeter. With four young children, it was a wonderfully chaotic shoot, which included my entire repertoire of incorrect animal noises, lots of running around, hiding, jumping and general silliness….
I had a brilliant morning on the beach at gorgeous Beer with this extended family recently. They were enjoying a family holiday all together, celebrating Nick and Pemma’s 40th wedding anniversary, so it was really lovely to capture some images of them all together during that time. I love the gentle tones of the pebbles,…
I love the big wide beaches in North Devon, so I was really delighted to photograph this lovely extended family at Saunton Sands recently. In fact, my whole family were delighted, as we all drove up together and my children and dog disappeared off exploring the beach with my husband, while I had fun in…
I loved this moment above with Lisa, Nick and their newborn boy, Elliott. I asked them to sit together and pause for a moment, just to think about the fact that they had just created this beautiful baby. In all the madness of the first few days of a new baby, it is amazing…
Now, this is a slightly different post to normal. These beautiful photos are not taken by me, but by the really rather wonderful Sarah Lauren Photography. On this rare occasion, I am actually in the pictures, as these are photographs of my own family, taken earlier last year. When people get in touch with me…
Emily booked me to photograph some natural family photos for them. She said that above everything else, she wanted to capture their family as it actually is – “a memory of how we are today: happy, grumpy, sad, excited, loving”. The session was all about letting their family spend time together naturally, and me photographing…
As the end of 2014 approaches, one of my very favourite jobs is looking back through the whole year to put together a compilation of favourite images. Rather than mixing all my work together, I thought I’d give family photography its own blog post, so this is what I’m sharing here today. From week old…
2013 has been an utterly amazing year. I have spent some time this week just looking back through the different weddings, family photographs, engagement sessions and other shoots that I have carried out in the past twelve months, and I am left feeling more than a little humbled by all of it. I still find…
A little while ago I had a really wonderful session, photographing newborn twins at their home. I visited newborn Bertie and Polly, at home in Ashburton, Devon. It is always amazing, to be invited into the home of people who have just had a baby, as it is just such an incredible milestone in people’s…
I don’t know quite where to start with this. I get really quite emotional when I think about all the people I have had the privilege of photographing this year. All the brides and grooms who have asked me to take on the huge job of recording their wedding day for them. Of capturing all…
