A peek at a previously unseen sweet Spring extended mini session from last year, one of my all time favourite sessions with the most wonderful family. These multi-generational photoshoots are just that extra little bit special, and always tons of fun. Aren’t these so dreamy?!

Can I bring our family dog to our session? Yes of course, more the merrier!

MAMAS, ARE YOU ALWAYS THE ONES BEHIND THE CAMERA?

Well no worries as this year I have two special sessions coming up made just for you! Yay!

Motherhood Mini Sessions have been created exclusively for Mamas and their little one/s, Maternity or Grandmas always welcome for that extra special touch too!

These special sessions are perfect for capturing the beauty of Motherhood, that special bond and those sweet and happy love filled moments with your little ones.

For every session booked I send plenty of photoshoot prep guidance, including inspiration and seasonal styling advice for what to wear at your session. And I thought I’d share my helpful Spring and Summer info here with you all…

My 5 top tips for happy kids at photoshoots… 1. Talk to the kids with relaxed, low key references, say something like ‘We are going to have some fun and play some games with Rebecca today, and she’s going to take some pictures for us to keep’ Just let them know they are going to meet someone new, but that they will have a super fun time as well. Start a week or so before hand and keep mentioning it.

1. KEEP UP TO DATE with a smaller investment too, great if you have had a session with me before and want to updated your family photographs. Or brilliant if you want to trial a session with me without paying for a main session first.
