2019 - REMEMBERING EVERY TINY THING // FAMILY HIGHLIGHTS

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!

Welcome to the world Elsie! And congratulations to Natalie, Joel and big brother Ernie!

It was so special to meet Elsie at eleven days old and spend a few hours with the Guy family capturing them as a new family of four - she was such a little dream and Ernie is clearly going to be an absolutely wonderful and proud big brother.

The Wardle Family - Preston Park, Eaglescliffe | Relaxed Family Photography Teesside

The sun actually came out for my photo session with the Wardle family! It had rained all week, but I was so excited for a window of actual sunshine to work with that Sunday morning with them all in beautiful Preston Park in Eaglescliffe. Becky had booked a family shoot for her Mum’s birthday (a pretty solid gift idea, just saying..) and we spent an hour or so wandering, letting the kids run and play, and stopping along the way to grab a few family portraits too.

I really do love family shoots at home and this is why.. it was so lovely to do some family/bump photos with Anna, Scott and Isabelle with baby number two a week away from their due date. Anna wanted some really relaxed and natural photos at home while they were a family of three and it was a lovely time to capture with them all. Here are a few favourites.. watch this space for another family shoot with baby number two soon!

It was so special to visit Leah and Sam at home and to be there to capture some photographs of Zachary at seven weeks old. These three were a pleasure to spend an hour or so with - such a calm and peaceful house, and at the point where, a few weeks in, they’d really hit their stride and was bossing being new parents.

2018 | FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY HIGHLIGHTS

Another 2018 review for you all today, but today it’s all about family shoots!

I’ve really come to love family shoots over the past few years, and I’m lucky enough to sometimes shoot the same families again and again which feels all kinds of wonderful. Sometimes it happens where I’ve shot a couples’ wedding and they go on to start a family, and I can be there to document the next chapter too!

It was such a joy to meet Isabella - a fabulous little character, full of beans and busy exploring and playing with everything, and looking like the perfect mix of her Mum and Dad.. I joined the three of them at their home, and we got some natural shots of them being the wonderful family that they are.

I met up with this wonderful (and very colourful!) family for some relaxed family photographs at Preston Park in Teesside, not far from where I'm based. We wandered around, with Martha showing me good trails to explore and Milo being as cute as a button, and found some spots for some relaxed family photographs along the way.

That face! It was wonderful to spend an hour or so with Ruth, James and their little boy George. He was scrumptious.. loved playing with his toys, hugging his cuddly fox, being thrown in the air, having cuddles with Mum and Dad and eating blueberries..

It was so good to see Samantha and Wayne again, I shot their wedding a few years ago, did a family shoot when it was just the two of them and Thea, and this time I got to meet Bruce too - a wonderful family. I met them at their home near Saltburn-by-the-Sea in Teesside for a family session, and it was the perfect relaxed setting for some special pictures of them with their little ones at these ages.. Thea was a bundle of fun and Bruce was so chilled out and smiley..

Oh it was *so* good to see Amy and Keyan again and to meet baby Clement - I shot their colourful marquee wedding years ago when I was just starting out. I visited the three (or four of them, counting Charlie their dog) for a family shoot at home in London last weekend and to see them both as parents having started a new chapter was just amazing. Clement is such a gorgeous little person and we even had a few smiles while I was there.

I was so excited when Nicole and Paul got in touch asking if I could squeeze them in for a family shoot - I shot their Middleton Lodge wedding back in 2013, and I was so excited to meet their new little person Monty! They wanted some relaxed family photography at home which is exactly how I like to work. Monty was happy in his own home surrounded by his favourite toys and we had a natter and a play whilst getting some relaxed family photographs of this beautiful family. Here are some favourites from their family photography session - if you're interested in something similar then you can have a look through the 'Family' tab above for more information. Happy days :)

I joined Ev and her Mama Annabel one lovely day in Preston Park in Stockton for some family pictures - we were originally going to get baking as Annabel has recently set up her own baking business (check out Florence Bakes on Facebook for ridiculously amazing creations..) but the weather was too good to pass up on and these two babes pulled on their DMs and off we went to run around in the sunshine for an hour or so together. These two are Mum-Daughter goals. Here is a preview from our time together that day - more coming soon. <3
