Just the two of you. I try and capture a sweet por Just the two of you. I try and capture a sweet portrait of the parents at a family shoot. I say try because I always put it last and sometimes it gets forgotten about. Which is no good because look how gorgeous these moments are! You need them on your wall just as much as you need portraits of your kids 🙌 So if we have an upcoming shoot and it looks like I'm about to head home without a shot like this them remind me 😅 This is actually from a family session I did TODAY! I don't usually share so quick, and I've looked through some of the session already (I'm sure all photographers do this immediately after getting home from a shoot!). Oh my I am so, so in love this this session and I can't wait to share the preview with you! I have a postponed shoot next weekend so I have a whole free weekend off, just gonna eat brunch, drink coffee, sleep in, family cuddles and get outside. Just a quick public announcement to anyone wanting a family shoot, my next weekend date is 26th June and then 24th July ♥️
This is what Sunday mornings are about. Cosy cuddl This is what Sunday mornings are about. Cosy cuddles, easy vibe, coffee + pastries. Pretty much this shoot summed up. I rarely take Sunday bookings because I want to have Sundays like this myself (♥️) but with demand plus all my lockdown rebookings I've had to do a few full on weekends! Howevveerrr I'm not going to complain because these shoots lately have been glorious and I am so grateful for each and everyone one. This tender moment was a quick capture, right at the end of the shoot. It's funny how I always get one or two shots at the end that are my favourite. It's why I always keep the camera on me as I slowly pack away! Hope you all had a wonderful long weekend and really enjoyed that rain and wind 🤦
Oh hey 👋 a late post from me, but I thought I'd Oh hey 👋 a late post from me, but I thought I'd quickly share my latest blog post and this one is for parents of boys! Well, it can be for all parents of all children but in particular those that have a brood of wild boys (three in this case!) and suffer from family shoot anxiety (is that a thing?!) This family session is up there with my favourites. Three boys that are sweet and excitable with a helping of choas = a gallery that is full of connection, energy, tenderness, cuddles, fights and fun. I challenge you not to smile while looking through it! Are you a parent of three boys? I've only the one which can be a handful on his own so I get why you might be a little apprehensive about investing in a shoot. But I so hope this blog can remove some of those barriers that are stopping you. And if it doesn't please tell me what is stopping you? I'd love to be able to help. You can get beautiful photographs that you will love! That will find a home on your walls and make you all smile every day whenever you pass by. Link in bio ☝️
The emails I get after sending a client gallery ar The emails I get after sending a client gallery are my favourite. In a sentence or two I am reminded why I love photographing families. The importance of these pictures is huge. Pictures are one of those things that you treasure forever, you hold on to, you frame and pass by each day. I started shooting families because I want to have Mum in the story - which I do. But the more I shoot the more it's just about documenting the moments of you together. The connection you have now, the hair twiddles, the shy looks and the comfort of parents. Unique personalities. The books you read together and the space you share. What do you want to capture right now about your family? 💕
Good morning! What a fun weekend photographing two Good morning! What a fun weekend photographing two families (including this brilliant bunch!) Two families of four that both were incredibly lovely and 100% open to all my poses and suggests and prompts. Including moving cars - I move a bunch of things at a session but not usually cars! The things you gotta do for the shot though! 🙌 Anyway, both of these families had something else in common. They were both referrals, and I just wanted to write a little about it because I've been trying to take some downtime from this app and it kinda gives me the fear 😂 That if I stop posting on here so much I'll lose business. Because essentially this little space is for my work (and little bits of my life too). It's a space to show off the wonderful families I get to capture and meet new ones too! But man just it's so consuming right? And I'm very much a moreish kind of person so not the best combination. So, I started to dig into how my clients find me, and yes I get a bunch through Instagram but I didn't quite realise how many were referrals. A good chunk, by far the majority, have come through someone I have photographed. And that means everything to me 💕 So this post is a little bit of a thank you to all my clients and friends that shout about me, that share my business, that refer me to someone looking for a shoot. It's you guys. It's you guys that keep a small one-woman band going - THANK YOU 🥲🥰 P.S. To keep the support going remember to save/share/comment on posts for small businesses!
Not your Typical Family Portrait I wrote a blog! Not your Typical Family Portrait I wrote a blog! I actually wrote it a while ago and totally forgot to tell anyone! It’s a little bit about choosing your family photographer and a little bit about my style of shooting (the hint is in the title!). Since most UK photographers are getting ready to start working again next week - and more people are probably getting ready to book a shoot, it might be the perfect time to think about how on earth do you pick your family photographer? There’s a lot of us out there, so you’re absolutely spoilt for choice! So spend some time, there’s no rush, and consider the following points: 1. The style you LOVE. Knowing what type of family imagery you want is an obvious place to start. Do you want traditional poses and smiling at the camera? Do you want totally documentary, or something natural and in the middle? Once you decide this then you can start narrowing down you choices. 2. Look at the work they produce. That’s the first thing, find a few photographers you adore the work of. And don’t just look here on Instagram. Look on their website, see that it is strong and consistent. Look through their portfolio and their blog. Ideally a few blog posts will show a lot of different shots from a single session. 3. Budget. You know what you’re happy to pay so this part is pretty simple. More and more photographers are pricing themselves in a way that means they can afford to work without burning out. This is important - so much goes on beyond the shoot day itself! 4. Talk to them! I have so many calls, emails and even DMs just chatting and answering questions before someone is ready to go ahead. It makes sense, it’s an investment so making sure you actually like your photographer and have confidence in their ability is pretty important! I hope that has been helpful! You can read more and see a bunch of gorge family pictures on the blog - I’ve linked it in my bio (under Latest Blog Post).
