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.
Better late than never! (Oh god, *how* is it June, already?) This year has started flying by at a crazy speed, January and February shuffled by, and suddenly we're approaching the half way point! Here is what's been going on in March, April and May 'Behind the Curtain'..

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..

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..

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.

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.

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'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.

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
