Family photoshoots are special moments where memories are captured and preserved.

I spent an afternoon with this lovely family in Cheddar, who were there to celebrate a birthday.

As a family photographer, my goal is to capture not only the traditional portraits but also the candid moments that highlight unique bonds between family members. Family shoots are more than just about taking a picture, they’re about documenting connections and the emotions that come with them. Whether it’s the quiet moments between parents and children or the energetic laughter from siblings, I aim to tell a story through most of my photographs.

A lovely aspect of family photography is the opportunity to capture the bonds between different generations. This particular session was especially meaningful because it included grandparents as well as the younger generations. It’s not always just about the parents and kids. There’s something incredibly special about capturing those moments of love and connection between grandparents, parents, and their little ones.

When it comes to family portraits, having multiple generations in the frame adds a depth and richness to the image. It’s an opportunity to show how the family has grown and evolved over time.

During this session in Cheddar, I was able to photograph a variety of candid moments. There were smiles as the little ones played with their parents, laughter as siblings joked around, and quiet exchanges of affection between grandparents and children. These fleeting moments may seem small at the time, but they hold immense sentimental value as time passes. It’s these types of photos that become the family’s most treasured memories, bringing them back to a particular day, a moment in time, whenever they look at the photos.

I feel incredibly lucky to be able to help families preserve these special moments. The beauty of family photography is that it’s not just about creating pretty pictures, it’s about creating lasting memories. Each photo tells a story. The story of how a family has come together, how they support one another, and how they grow and evolve over time.

Whether it’s an intimate family session or a larger gathering with extended family, I’m here to help preserve the moments that matter most!
