A Spring family photo session near Exeter

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 further around the South West, but it’s really lovely to have a photo session closer to home! And this is such a beautiful location. It’s an arboretum in Newton St Cyres, free to explore, and the perfect place for a Spring session. The morning light gave us such perfect conditions for exploring and creating some family photos together.

It’s the second time I’ve photographed the lovely Miall family near Exeter. When the children were a little bit younger, we had a gorgeous photo session near Killerton. It was really wonderful to catch up with all the family again and create some new photos together. The arboretum was such a perfect location for the session. We had so much fun exploring, racing around and climbing on the fallen trees. And the Spring blossom was such a beautiful backdrop. We actually ended up delaying the session by a week so that we could catch the magnolias in full bloom, and I’m so pleased that we waited. It was absolutely stunning. Have a look at these beautiful photos and see what you think!

If you are thinking about having family photos near Exeter, there are so many options. There are lots of beaches nearby, Dartmoor is right on the doorstep, and you have other really great options like Woodbury Common, Haldon Forest and more. The best location for you depends on various different things – what would suit you as a family, the time of year, the time of day you would like for your photography session. As I’m based in Exeter, I know the local area so well and have lots of tips to help you get the most out of your session.

I’m always happy to chat to you and discuss the best options for your session. But let me know if you have any questions, or would like to see more of different locations. Here are some other family photography sessions near Exeter that I really loved:
