Joe and I first started planning this very special shoot back in January. It was his mum’s milestone birthday, and he wanted to create something truly meaningful — a set of fabulous images celebrating her and their wonderful family.
We found a date that worked for everyone, sourced a venue (our studio wasn’t quite big enough for a 14‑person all‑in‑one portrait!), and after lots of chatting, planning and coordination, the big day arrived.
We turned up with our mobile studio and captured this gorgeous family — children, grandchildren, cousins — all gathered together. The whole shoot was built around a simple black sofa, and somehow it helped us capture the essence of who they are: warm, close, joyful and full of love.
Thank you, Joe, for choosing us for such an amazing occasion. We’re so happy that you all love your photographs. And thank you for the lovely food afterwards — it was very much appreciated.
Happy Birthday to your mum — we hope her beautiful portrait takes pride of place on her wall 💛
