Your beautiful life and love


Natural, relaxed, fun family portraits and children's portraits.


The word to sum up your prep for a family photoshoot is RELAX! The more you relax, the easier and more fun a family photoshoot will be. I am great with children and I have found that generally we get the best family shots when you relinquish all responsibility for behaviour to me for an hour!! It will be fun, I promise!!


Whilst we can definitely get some beautiful family shots in my standard 60 minute package, I really recommend that you talk to me about extending this to 90 minutes or so (an additional £60) for families of 4 or more, as this gives more opportunity for getting a range of group shots as well as some individual portraits.


Pre-school age children...

With pre-school age children I would suggest a home and garden shoot. It eliminates a lot of anxiety for the children and also takes all the stress out of rushing to get everyone napped and fed and out of the house on a deadline. Let the children show me their favourite toys and get to know the camera in the place they are most comfortable. I can totally fit in with whatever is happening when I get there!! All we need for some stunning shots is some good natural light through the windows and a happy family.


School age or older children...

I would suggest choosing an outdoor location that you love for this age group. Somewhere that means a lot to you as a family. It makes for a beautiful gallery if there is some variation in backgrounds - walls, gates, rivers, tree lined roads... These all make for some stunning group shots. I encourage lots of movement, playing, running, group hugs and kisses and minimal formal posing, although I will always try to get at least a couple of group shots of you all facing the camera (and more if this is what you are looking for).


The Beach

I LOVE the beach and would be very happy to come down to the Dorset coast if that is something you love doing too. Beach photoshoots can be a lot of fun and the light and space creates aesthetically beautiful photographs whatever the weather. It works well in all seasons as well and is a great option for winter family photoshoots.
