This was the 2nd time we’ve tried to organise this extended family session. Coordinating whilst your family is spread across three continents couldn’t have been easy but I am so happy my client made this happen. For her and for her family.
When coming together is this rare, the opportunity to capture some family memories is all the more precious. I know too well that these memories are irreplaceable and will be forever cherished. Grateful for this family’s trust, for being adorable, and for having so much fun with it :)
This family wanted to celebrate Nan’s special birthday in style and ended up purchasing a gift certificate for a family portrait session. Such an honour to be trusted to capture these precious moments for a special someone who obviously has everything she needs in her life. It was a joy to spend time in the glorious sun with this ultra cool family. Particularly loved bringing to life their ‘sunnies’ project. A true reflection of the fun loving family that they are 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
“Most painless photoshoot ever” said the men.
“That was actually fun. Denh is fun” said the kids!
“Can’t wait to see the photos” said the Mums 😊
And so grateful for kind words from Nan… “Thank you very very much for arranging this. The photo shoot was such fun and today was lovely to be together to select the photos together. Denh is a very nice person and it was a pleasure to spend time with her. Please thank her sincerely on behalf of Dad and I”
When you have wanted a beautiful family portrait for soooo long but have never had the time and you finally get round to doing it!!! With three kids under 7, I totally understand why time is an issue :) But as for all my families, you never regret doing it. They don’t stay this squishy for long! 😊
Absolutely thrilled to capture these stunning memories for this gorgeous, oh so laid back family :) Loved how warm and inviting this large feature canvas turned out too.
Ever since losing dad extended family portraits, where all your closest loves are included for some beautiful memories, has gained a new level of importance for me. I have always enjoyed the opportunity but now I am intensely grateful. I have experienced first hand how invaluable those photographic memories are, how much they can transport you to a moment in time you so yearn for. It may be difficult to organise due to hectic schedules, unmotivated members or illness but one thing for sure, you will never regret doing it. The result is something the whole family, young and old, can cherish for life.
If you are willing to make the time, it will be my absolute mission and pleasure to give you your treasured memories.
Take the opportunity to celebrate the life you have created, the loves who make you whole, and indeed your greatest achievements.
Loss has a way of helping you appreciate the important loves in your life. The ones you can count on when you most need a hand. The extended family you adore but may not always see. The past 12 months in particular, has taught me (though I thought I already knew) that time is precious and moments spent with loved ones are moments to be cherished. I have a renewed love for capturing extended family portraits because I understand too well their value and I know what they will mean to you and your family in years to come.
Loved meeting this beautiful family, hearing their stories and capturing a collection of memories to remind them always of the precious time shared in their beloved family home, and the connections that make it all worthwhile.
