Our Autumn leaves mini shoots are this weekend ๐Ÿ‚
We have a few last-minute spaces available for our relaxed, outdoor mini shoots amongst the beautiful autumn leaves!

And they're not just for families!

Whether you'd love some updated family portraits, natural photos of your children, a lovely couple's photo or even a fresh headshot for your LinkedIn or business social media, these sessions are a great opportunity.

Run your own small business? Why not combine a family shoot with a few natural, professional portraits of yourself? Perfect for refreshing your website, LinkedIn or social media profiles.

There's no need to choose between family photos and something for yourself!

Lovely words from one of our recent newborn families ๐Ÿค

"We recently had a newborn shoot with Emma and Ian, and we honestly couldnโ€™t have asked for a better experience.

Our baby was only two weeks old, so naturally we were quite apprehensive beforehand. We wondered how she would be during the shoot whether sheโ€™d need feeding, cry, or simply not cooperate! But from the moment we booked, Emmaโ€™s communication and reassurance immediately put us at ease. Before the shoot, she took the time to ask what kind of images we were looking for, and we were able to share some inspiration. I always felt that I could reach out with any questions, which made such a difference as new parents.

When we arrived, we were made to feel completely comfortable straight away. Emma and Ian took the time to get to know us and our baby, and there was absolutely no pressure or feeling of being rushed. We were able to settle into the shoot naturally and just enjoy the experience.

Halfway through, our baby started crying, and they were so understanding. We were given complete privacy and the time we needed for me to feed her, with no pressure whatsoever. We simply let them know when we were ready to continue.

Throughout the whole shoot, so much care was taken to make sure our baby was comfortable and, most importantly, completely safe. It was clear how experienced and gentle they were, which gave us so much confidence and allowed us to relax and enjoy the moment.

The whole experience was calm, relaxed and genuinely lovely. And what we loved most was getting to return for our viewing session rather than simply having a gallery of images sent over. Seeing all of the photographs together was such a special experience and the photos were absolutely stunning. We genuinely loved them all!

I would wholeheartedly recommend them, especially to new parents looking for photographers who truly understand the emotions, nerves and unpredictability that come with a newborn shoot. They made us feel completely at ease from start to finish, and we couldnโ€™t be happier with our photos. Thank you ๐Ÿงก"

Autumn is nearly here ๐Ÿ‚
We always look forward to our autumn family shoots. Itโ€™s such a lovely time of year to get outside with the children, and the autumn colours make a brilliant backdrop for photographs.

Our Autumn Leaves Mini Shoots are taking place this year on:
Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th October in Harpenden

Theyโ€™re relaxed, short sessions amongst the autumn leaves and are a great opportunity to update your family photos โ€” especially when you suddenly realise how much the children have changed since the last ones!

If youโ€™d like to join us this year, booking is now open and you can reserve your session using the link below.

We look forward to seeing some of you amongst the autumn leaves very soon!

Weโ€™re well into September, the children are back at school and the summer holidays already seem like a distant memory!

Weโ€™ve certainly been lucky with the weather this year and have photographed lots of lovely family shoots as well as some gorgeous weddings.

Itโ€™s been great to be back at some of our favourite wedding venues too, including South Farm , Tewin Bury Farm Hotel and Fanhams Hall. After photographing weddings for 20 years, we still love being part of a wedding day and seeing everything come together.

Weโ€™ve also managed to have some time away as a family over the summer, which was very much needed after a busy few months!

And when we havenโ€™t been photographing, weโ€™ve been kept busy with our Guide Dog puppy. Sheโ€™s definitely become a big part of family life and comes with us on plenty of adventures! Her time with us has been extended until October when we will have to say goodbye and wish her well on her Guide Dog training journey - although we don't want to think about that just yet!

๐Ÿ’œ Lavender Mini Sessions are back! ๐Ÿ’œ

We're so excited to be returning to the beautiful Mentley Farm Lavender for our annual mini sessions.

Lavender only blooms for a short time, making it the perfect backdrop for relaxed, natural family photos. Whether you're updating your family portraits, celebrating a milestone, bringing the grandparents along, or even including the dog, we'd love to capture some special summer memories for you.

โœจ Evening sessions available โ€“ perfect if you're busy during the day and for making the most of that gorgeous golden light.

๐ŸŒฟ Saturday 18th July also coincides with the farm's Summer Celebration, with live music, artisan stalls, street food and a dog show. Your event entry is included with your photo session!

Spaces are limited, so if you'd like to join us, we'd love to see you there.

๐ŸŒž Book your session via the link in the comments or message us if you have any questions.

Ian took a weekend away from work to tick off one of the bucket list challenges he'd set himself.

On Sunday, he completed the Dart 10K in Devon โ€“ a 10km open water swim from just outside Totnes to Dartmouth, organised by Level Water A fantastic fundraising event that helps provide swimming lessons for disabled children. Huge thanks to the team for such a well organised event. Such a friendly atmosphere and a pleasure to be a part of.

Sadly, we weren't able to be there to cheer him on, but we certainly heard all about it once he was back on dry land! Unsurprisingly, he was a little wobbly-legged after swimming 10km in an impressive 2 hours 22 minutes (with a little help from the river current!).

What makes the result even more remarkable is that swimmers were set off in waves based on their predicted swim times, and Ian was in the very last wave to enter the river. Despite that, he finished 68th out of 468 swimmers!

An incredible achievement, myself and the girls are so proud of him. Well done, Ian! ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŠโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’™
