Do you worry that booking pictures might feel fake

Do you worry that booking pictures might feel fake? I see it as intentional?! I’m personally very intentional about getting into pictures, multiple times a year I make this happen for us. Nope, there is nothing “natural” about dragging a chair into the field. Yes, I will make sure everyone is wearing clothes I like, yes it takes time, no my husband and the boys are not always delighted, but it’s always worth doing 😊

This is why making it all quite loose and playful helps. Yes of course I help guide you the whole time, but ultimately you just hang out with your kids and have a lovely time.
MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Everyone has a budget, and if yours doesn’t curr

Everyone has a budget, and if yours doesn’t currently stretch to a bespoke session of your core family, then look at the extremes for better value! Go for that big extended family session where you bring your parents, your siblings and their families – suddenly 3 or 4 house holds are sharing the cost, and it’s a total bargain. This makes for a great present too for parents’ round birthdays and anniversaries ❤

Or, my personal favourite, go for a mini, these are excellent value! You will have the loveliest time and get a brilliant gallery of pictures. Of course se will still do family pictures, kids together, kids individually and all the fun ones…🥰

BUT, you only have two chances a year for outside mini, and the next one is May the 10th, with just 3 slots remaining…and yes of course you can bring the dog 😉

Any questions please just message me.

As the boys grow bigger, and simply do less cute t

As the boys grow bigger, and simply do less cute things every moment, I find myself drawn to taking other pictures, just all the random elements in life that brings me joy and calm…. However…

… when my mum moved into a (wonderful) care home we had to clear her place out and ALL the pictures from holiday that didn’t have people were discarded. They didn’t hold any emotional connection for us, often we didn’t know where they were taken, many were pretty bad quality…

So, my conclusion is this, I’m currently busy taking pictures that the boys will one day be throwing away 😉
Maybe it doesn’t matter, maybe it’s all ok if I enjoy taking the pictures in the moment…

Finally, for all of you with younger kids, NOW is your time, now is your chance to get the pictures that will never get thrown away!

Have a beautiful weekend x

Mums, you have to do is hang out with your kids and be sweet together! Your kid(s) will have your undivided attention, no screens, just nature… they will have a great time 😉

See it as a moment where you all just get to be, with a huge benefit of forever pictures ❤️
These are from the October mini day, but Spring mini is coming right up on May the 10th, in this same beautiful location. Book now on the website, all-inclusive from £325 🙂
