family sessions with heart
We’ve all been there, stood in a row, lying on a fluffy rug or forced to smile for the 50th time while the photographer tries to encourage your family members to look at the camera.
It’s not fun for anyone.
My family shoots aim to capture the imagination of your kids, encourage them to interact with you, make them giggle, allow them to relax and have fun.
Relaxed, fun family photography
is this you?
You love photos of your kids but are either behind the camera yourself, or are a little nervous about being photographed
You don’t want a more traditional style of posing in your images
You want real, authentic, beautiful photos of your family hanging out
You want to record where your family is at now. Their personalities, quirks and your love for each other
Photography is one of the few things in life that only increases in value over time.
how can I HELP?
I’ve spent the last 16 years photographing people, whether that be weddings, maternity sessions, newborn sessions or bigger family sessions. I just love people. I love the interaction that I get to have and my shoots are filled full of love and a bit of silliness.
The most important thing to me is that you and your family feels comfortable, so I work hard to make sure that that happens.
Family photography is not about forcing your screaming kids into awkward poses and repeatedly asking them to say cheese. It's not about perfectly symmetrical images with everyone looking and smiling. Family photography is about natural, authentic connections with the people that you love most in the world. It is about creating a record of the way that you see each other right now. It is about making the ordinary, day to day life beautiful.
It is about tapping into what makes your kids tick, chuckle and chat incessantly. That is what I offer. Family photography that is the heart of your family. Family photography that will make you want to display your connection on your walls at home. Family photography that will be stored in huge albums and pulled off the shelf year after year.
We’re now on our fourth family shoot with Laura in under three years, and I honestly can’t imagine anyone else taking our family shots. She’s absolutely amazing - so talented, kind, and brilliant behind the camera. She has a wonderful way with my little boy, always managing to make him feel relaxed and happy, which really comes through in the photos.
We’ve done everything from individual family sessions to big group shoots with both sides of the family, and she somehow manages to capture everyone’s personality every single time. The shoots always feel so easy and natural, never forced or awkward, which great especially when wrangling kids and adults too!
The memories she’s helped us capture are truly priceless. I can’t wait for her to keep capturing our family over the years ❤️
