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.

Emma Brent + Nieve | Relaxed Family Photography at Home, Teesside

Family photography at home is one of my favourite settings for pictures.. there’s such beauty in the everyday and I love capturing these ‘normal’ but special moments in time. I spent some time this morning with Emma, Brent and Nieve at their home for some relaxed family photographs.

Leah, Sam + Zachary | Creative + Relaxed Family Photography Teesside

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!

Lou, Ste, Massimo + Elio | Creative Family Photography Teesside

Full disclosure.. I’ve known Lou since Year 7 when we were in the same form group and we’ve been close friends ever since. It’s a wonderfully bizarre thing to go through so much ‘growing up’ together, through early teenage years, the messy ‘going out out’ years, uni, beyond.. it’s been so special to watch her get married, have her first baby Massimo, and then bring his little brother, Elio, into the world too. The magic of everyday life. That’s what it’s all about.

Carol, Charlie, Martha and Milo | CREATIVE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY TEESSIDE

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.

Ruth, James and George | Creative Family Photography Teesside

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..

Alex, Matty and Violet | Creative Family Photography Teesside

Just *look* at those eyes! I spent a gorgeous hour or so with Violet and her Mum and Dad at their home getting some photos in the gorgeous Spring light. It was a beautiful sunny day, so warm outside, and the light came streaming into their home for this set of relaxed family photos.. I've said so many times, but I love shooting at home with little ones. It feels so calm, so normal but so special. Everything is constantly changing while they grow up but the home is the constant..

Samantha, Wayne, Thea and Bruce | Creative Family Photography Teesside

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..

Amy, Keyan and Clement | Creative Family Photography, London

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.

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.

Nicole, Paul & Monty | Darlington & Teesside Family Photography

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 :)

Louise, Kurt and Norah | Family Photography North Yorkshire

I've been meaning to blog Louise, Kurt and Norah's family shoot for so long! Louise and Kurt's wedding was back in 2012, when I was just starting out in wedding photography - they had a beautiful London wedding at the Cheyenne Walk Brasserie in Chelsea (you can see it here!). They then moved to Australia and had their little girl Norah - when they got in touch for a family shoot because they were back in the UK I was so excited to see them again! We went for a little walk in the town where they were staying with family in Derbyshire and got some photographs of the three of them. Here are some favourites from that lovely Summer's day with these two and their little Norah.
