Family Photographer in Surrey

This family photo session took place earlier this summer and was part of my community project. The family photoshoot took place at the family’s Surrey home, which is a village away from where I live. To get to their place, I walked a few miles through fields and woods, and in turn discovered a lovely local walk which I now frequent.

I wanted to photograph the family at their house, to capture some of the memories they’ve made during this unprecedented time. They have been spending a lot of time outdoors, the boys playing in the garden. After an energetic start and a few action shots of the boys around their playhouse, the family settled on a bench and had a nice quiet time with a story and a cup of tea. I like the high energy kinds bring to photoshoots. It keeps me on my toes - I have to think and act quickly, often changing the ideas I may have had at the start.

I am so grateful to all the families who have supported me and my community project during the pandemic. The reality has been so different for people living in urban and non-urban areas. When I started this project I imagined photographing families behind windows and on doorsteps. However, a lot of people in my community, like me, have had the good fortune during the pandemic of space and gardens. And therefore, a lot of my photographs documenting families during this time, all taken outdoors and following government guidelines, are of families enjoying their time outdoors.

My family photo sessions have evolved to become physically distanced, and to exclusively take place outdoors. If you are thinking of commissioning a family photo session, please contact me to discuss your requirements. I would love to hear from you!

Family photo session in Camberwell, London / Family photographer London and Surrey

I am delighted to share these photos of Ellie and her family, which I took a week or so before her 1st birthday. I photographed Ellie when she was only three months old and it was so nice to see the transformation from a tiny baby to an (almost) walking toddler.

We started our photo session in a local park where Ellie enjoyed walking through dry leaves and going on the swings. Back at home, I was able to capture a bit more walking practice, playtime with mum and dad and a few cozy family moments.

I really enjoyed this photo session and selecting a few photos to share wasn't easy. Here is a selection of several of my favourites.

Family photo session, Hampton, Greater London

This delayed blog post is from a photoshoot I did back in late September when days were still warm and long. It was a beautiful autumnal day, and it was a joy to capture a few relaxing family moments at a local park in Hampton, as well as the boys playfulness in the comfort of their new home. I hope you enjoy browsing through these few photos from our session!
