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!

Oh these two! It was so special to be back with this beautiful family capturing them in their home. Last time I was there was two years ago when Bhodi was 6 months, and now Rufus has joined the gang too. I couldn’t resist getting them both back in this amazing wooden moon that Colin made them..

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.

Joanne, Ian, Toby + Violet | Creative + Relaxed Family Photography Teesside

I recently had the pleasure of spending an hour or so with the Riley family. As soon as I got the the door Toby shouted “Sally’s here!” and went on to show me around their home while we took some relaxed family photos, together with his Mum, Dad and baby sister Violet. It was a lovely sunny day and just about warm enough to get outside for a few photos too.

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.

I joined the three of them at their home, and we got some natural shots of them being the wonderful family that they are.

The Copping Family | Creative Family Photography Teesside

Oh what a perfect day for a family shoot.. A hot, sunny Summer's day in June.. The little ones powered and played around the garden and it was bliss - what childhood is all about. I shot a mix of family groups - the shoot was four sisters with their respective partners and little ones - and kids being kids.. Meet the Copping family. And long live the sunshine..

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.

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..
