Sometimes as a photographer you have to do ‘passion projects’ and photographing my son is by far my favourite thing to do…

Do you have a photographer in your life? As we all know photography gear is very expensive so it can be tricky knowing what to buy our photographer friends. So in preparation for Christmas, here is my list of my favourite photography-related gifts that are all £50 or under!

In September I had the pleasure of second shooting for the amazing Dominic Smith Photography at Gatwick Manor in Crawley. These are some of my favourite images from the day…

Back in October I had the delight of photographing this beautiful family at Tulleys PYO Pumpkin Farm. That golden hour light was so stunning too. As a mother myself I am now so aware of how few photos I am in with my children, so it’s so important to have these family photoshoots while you can before the little ones grow up! If you would like photos like these, contact me here!

In September I had the pleasure of second shooting for the amazing Dominic Smith Photography at Stanhill Court Hotel in Horley. These are some of my favourite images from the day…

If you have been toying with the idea of getting some family photos done, I would absolutely encourage you to do so. As I said above, time is way too fleeting, and a big regret of mine is not taking more photos from when my son was little. Also being the photographer of the family I am always the one to take the photos, which of course means I have loads of my husband and my son together but very few of me! If your story sounds like mine, then I would definitely encourage you to consider booking a family shoot, as in the future those photos will mean more to you than you could ever know.
