Not sure where to start when it comes to planning your family photos? If you’re wondering what to wear for family photos, how to choose a location, or just want the whole thing to feel a bit less stressful, you’re in the right place.
This blog is a great starting point. You’ll find plenty of practical advice on how to prepare, what works well on camera, and ideas for pulling outfits together in a way that feels like your family, not a catalogue. There are tips for keeping things relaxed, choosing a setting that suits your crew, and getting everyone (including partners) on board.
Take your time exploring the posts above. And if you’re planning a session with me, I’m always happy to chat through any questions so you can feel confident going in.

This morning my six year old could not find her be This morning my six year old could not find her beloved mini photo album (which she needed for “star of the week” to show her classmates)… it’s bright red, so 🤷‍♀️ I had to dig in some of the loose photos I have printed so she had something - apparently I haven’t done that for a while as most of them did not include her (the youngest) 🤣 better print some more photos. I love albums but it can be helpful to have single images around for times like this haha. It also made me want to make a good old school slip in album for each of my girls… stay tuned.

For families wanting to book and need an easy way to find a date please reach out and I’ll send you through my availability calendar which goes all the way through to January.

Happy four years guys! Some weddings stick with yo Happy four years guys! Some weddings stick with you. It was joy and chaos (and really rather a lot of people in a smallish space - I spent much of it as a short person squeezing in between people with camera up over my head) this wedding had the most amazing joyus peopley happy vibe. They threw a first birthday into the mix. Had no dedicated portrait session. Great food. Done deliberately well without crazy fuss. So good.

Remembering details to link is a smidge tricky without pulling up the old job but it was @zenalythgo.celebrant @mali_bakes and the job came via the generous @sppsimonpickeringphotography who has a knack for sending great clients my way 😆 thanks Simon!!
