Summer family photography 🌞

“Smell the sea and feel the sky. Let your soul and spirit fly”

- Van Morrison

School’s out, the kids are relaxed, the days are long and the weather is good (well, sometimes…). With gorgeous warm light in the mornings and evenings it’s perfect conditions for family photography. It’s the time to get out and about and capture some gorgeous portraits of you all having fun together. Whether we’re strolling through flower-filled fields and parks, taking a day trip to the beach, or just chilling in your back garden, let’s capture that holiday spirit and happy memories you’ll cherish.

I’ve written articles about my favourite locations in London and Leighton Buzzard, if you’re looking for inspiration 😊. Whether you are planning to explore new locations this summer, revisiting the places you know and love, or just looking forward to some chilled weekends at home, you’ll be creating unique family moments. All of this is full of beauty and deserves to be remembered. Photos are an amazing way to do this.

My photography is all about capturing personality, expression, connection and emotion. This means that all you need to focus on in a shoot with me is being engaged with each other. Yes there is always a place for some gently posed pictures. But the ones my clients really treasure tend to be when they’re interacting, in the moment, and not paying attention to me and the camera.
