I love shooting families, there’s something so special about being invited into a families life for a few hours. Capturing the little personalities as they develop, going on adventures around the house, in the garden or exploring the outdoors together, so I was super excited to be invited back to Nicki and Jack’s home to celebrate the new addition to the families first birthday. It was amazing to see how Evie had grown and what an awesome big sister she was to her little brother George. George was such a little dude, bursting with personality and already seemed to be developing a speaker obsession taking after his dad.

I love to photograph families at home where possible as it’s an important part of your story as a family, the house may change, you might move, get rid of that wall paper you loved then but hate now. All the little details of things and that time in your life can be easily forgotten. It’s nice to see the progress, the changes that you might forget had even happened and for children looking back and put them right back in that time an place.

Outdoor Family Photos

In the second half of the family session it’s great to venture outdoors if possible. Either to visit your local park or if you have a garden sometimes we can play and get some photos there. It’s a great way to end the session and keep the kids interested in what’s going on. Going on a little adventure together can be loads of fun and make for some great photographs of you enjoying family time together.

Manchester Documentary Family Photographer - Evie's Birthday Shoot

00064Evie.jpg

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting up with Evie and her family in their beautiful home in Didsbury, Manchester. It was a cold Autumn morning, thick fog hung in the air like a little bit of Halloween magic was waiting for us outside. It was also the day before Evie’s first birthday. We stayed at home for a little bit while Evie had her bath, some cuddles from Mum and Dad, got dressed and was given some of her birthday presents. These are my favorite type of family photos to take. The normal little parts of Evie’s child hood, little every day things like Evie’s Mum putting her shoes on for her are more special than they might seem at first, there will be a day not too far in the future when Evie will be able to put on her own shoes, get dressed and wont need that help any more and that’s what makes being able to capture this fleeting little piece of Evie’s history extra special.

LILY

The weekend before last I had the pleasure of meeting Catherine, Phil and Lily for their family shoot at their home. Lily or Cheeky Chops as I like to call her was a little star, we kicked around the house, playing in the garden, exploring and even stopping for dinner while Catherine and Phil (Mum and Dad) let Lily get up to all kinds of fun stuff that she wouldn't usually be allowed to get up to normally. You can see from the excitement on her little cheeky chops! Anyway enough of my ramblings here are the pictures!
