2019 - REMEMBERING EVERY TINY THING // FAMILY HIGHLIGHTS

Amongst wedding chaos I really love to squeeze in photographing families too. It’s a totally different type of shoot. I love when I get to hang out with a family and really capture them as they are. No studio stuff, no gimmicks.. families at home or out and about just being their true selves. I love seeing characters come through, meeting families at special points in their lives and also for capturing the everyday.. I love being there to capture play fights, tickles,, cuddles on the bed.. capturing kids being wild, playing with a favourite toy, pulling funny faces, quiet moments and moments of chaos. It’s all magical for a million different reasons. These times are so fleeting and every stage is worth capturing.

REBECCA, ANDY, SOPHIE, BEATRICE + EMILY // NEWBORN/FAMILY SHOOT AT HOME, TEESSIDE

Any excuse to have a little cuddle with a beautiful newborn baby.. meet baby Emily! Another wonderful little girl for Rebecca and Andy. It was such a joy to be back visiting this beautiful family and being there to capture this point in time while Emily was only two weeks old. Big sisters Sophie and Beatrice were totally smitten and so gentle with their little sister but also full of beans with each other - so much fun to capture!

Rebecca, Andy, Sophie, Beatrice + Bump | FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY TEESSIDE

It was so wonderful to see Rebecca, Andy and their girls again! Last year I’d shot their wider family (Rebecca’s parents, her siblings and their partners and kids) so it was extra special to see them all again at this time with a new baby on the way. Sophie and Beatrice were so fun and such happy girls.. totally excited to be big sisters to the new baby.

Ruth, Max, Albert + Henry | Family Photography North East

I loved spending an hour or so with these four - little Henry was only a few weeks old and I’ll always love a little cuddle with a new baby. I visited Ruth, Max, Albert and Henry at home at this special point in their lives to capture them in their own surroundings. Albert showed me around his room and some of his favourite toys, and I got some shots of them all playing, cuddling, hanging out and being themselves. It never stops being incredibly special to be there to document families at such special and fleeting times in their lives.

Here are a handful of favourites from the time I spent with this lovely lot..

Hollie, Davide and Darcie | Creative Family Photography County Durham

You may remember than I ran a little competition a while ago to win a family shoot - well here it is! Hollie and Davide won, and I joined them both with beautiful Darcie for a family photography session up at their home in scenic County Durham.

Kelly and Baby Bump | Creative Maternity Shoot at Home in Teesside

This is my beautiful sister-in-law Kelly, the day before she had baby Hector. We thought it would be a really special time to take some last photos of Kelly and bump, knowing that this was the last full day she'd ever be pregnant - the day before her third boy was born.
