So from your point of view, it might actually be exactly what’s needed: having a family photographer come straight into your home (Covid-safe, of course), to spend a couple of hours, half a day or indeed a whole day with you to help you a) celebrate the lovely little family you work very hard at and b) to make YOU, yes, you the parents, feel that actually you are indeed acing this whole parenting thing.įamily photography, for me, isn’t about trying to make you look like a perfect family in the eyes of everyone else… because god knows how many times we go on social media and see so-called “perfect” families plastered all over the networks and end up feeling a little more anxious about it all. If you are both working or your spouse is away at work and your multitasking all day, you are looking forward to another pair of hands by 5.01 pm on a Friday afternoon, no? Note the 5.01pm as since lockdown, commuting from the upstairs study doesn’t really take longer than 1 minute… □ Supposedly you are completely and utterly exhausted by the end of the week. My style of family photography is totally centred around being natural, it is all about a candid, unposed, undirected approach. Everyone is much more at ease, much more relaxed and with my silent cameras, I can capture some pretty natural moments. This is one of the reasons why I love doing my family photography sessions directly in people’s homes. After all, when you’ve spend a whole week working your butt off (excuse the expression) at being a parent and possible multitasking with paid work too, spending a few hours just “being” with your loved ones, that’s what makes it all worth it? That’s the biggest adventure of them all? When I say biggest adventures, for a little babba, a couple of hours in the garden, exploring, going on a swing, spending time with mum and dad, doing a bit of gardening… they are all pretty huge adventures, no? And perhaps they are for you too.
