KEEPING YOUR FAMILY PHOTOS
FUN AND RELAXED
working with me
Your family photos shouldn’t feel like a chore or a staged performance. They should be a reflection of who you are—full of love, laughter, and connection.
It’s about real connection,
That’s why I take a relaxed, natural approach to family sessions, making sure the experience is just as enjoyable as the final images.
If the kids are full of beans, we’ll run, jump, and play. If they’re feeling shy, we’ll ease into things gently, giving them space to warm up. The key is to keep things moving and playful—there’s no pressure to sit still or ‘get it right.’ The best photos happen when you’re simply being yourselves.
We’ll play games, chase each other, and capture those little in-between moments—the hand squeezes, the belly laughs, the way your child looks up at you with pure adoration. It’s about real connection, and by making the experience enjoyable, we create natural, beautiful images that truly feel like you.
When you look back at these photos, I want you to remember the feeling of the day—the fun, the closeness, and the love. That’s what makes them so special.

These two tell me time and time again that they don't like having their photos taken, and they always say they're not photogenic.
But I believe everyone is, especially when they're with their loved ones, lost in the moment. This is the side of yourself you never get to see; the only side of ourselves we see regularly is our reflection in the mirror.
My photos are SO different!

DON'T LET YOUR NEVERS GET
IN THE WAY OF YOUR
FAMILY PHOTOS
The only thing you'll regret is not having them
I get it—being in front of the camera can feel awkward. You might worry about where to stand, what to do with your hands, or if you’ll look natural. But here’s the thing: none of that matters when it comes to capturing the love and connection within your family.
Years from now, you won’t be thinking about whether your hair was perfect or if you felt a little unsure at first. You’ll see the laughter, the cuddles, the way your child held your hand so tightly, the way they looked at you with pure love. These are the moments that make up your family’s story—the moments that deserve to be remembered.
Candid family photography is about capturing real connections. No forced smiles, no stiff poses—just you and your family being yourselves, exactly as you are right now. The giggles, the chaos, the quiet snuggles—these moments will only grow more precious with time.
One day, these photos will become part of your family’s legacy, an heirloom to pass down to your children. A reminder of how much they were loved and how much they belonged. You will never regret capturing these moments, but you might regret not doing it sooner.
I remember like yesterday, watching Lewis decorate his gingerbread man, the night before I went in to labour with Natalie, and I recall how small his little hands were, his fingernails and how he struggled to squeeze the icing out of the tube.
The next morning, with Natalie in my arms, I distinctly remember looking at his once tiny hands and thinking how huge they were.
He turned into a mini-giant overnight, my mini giant.

TAKE IT FROM ME; FAMILY PHOTOS ARE EVERYTHING
With blink of an eye the moment was gone
One thing I regret more than anything is not getting professional photos taken of our own family.
Take it from me—you'll live to regret this. I was always the one with the camera, the one capturing memories for us and our family.
Of course, I'd ask Richard to take the odd one of me, and there are a few shots of us together. But you know what they’re missing? They’re missing connection and feeling. They’re missing us being a family of four. They’re missing the soul of us.
What do I mean?
When you take a posed photo, everyone is aware of the camera. You're all looking, and because of this, there's no character or connection between you. There are plenty of photos of my husband playing with the kids—but not me. And I regret that so much. My children are grown up now. It's too late. Those memories live in my head, and while that's fine, I’ll never have anything to share or show.
Make sure you don’t fall into the same trap. Be brave, be bold, and capture those moments of togetherness before time passes by.
