New for 2025. Day in the life of family. This is a new photoshoot aimed at capturing the mundane, boring, generic yet most precious days of our lives. Chasing kids around the house, making tea, playing board games, having a bath. The little things every day that make you smile and give you joy. The little things that swiftly become memories but can now be relived in photo and video. How it works: Think of 3 activities you love doing around the home as a family. It could be baking cupcakes, painting, gardening, building Lego, cuddles on the sofa, playing with bubbles, paddling pools, going to the park, playing PlayStation…. Whatever your fave things as a family are, do it. I’ll arrive at your house or location, get comfy and document it for you. 90% unposed, unscripted and totally you.

What you get: 6 hours of documentation, PDF guidance and help with planning your day. Up to 100 edited photos, 5-10 minute film,

I didn’t really appreciate how important family films would be until I found myself in the middle of a pandemic with bad mental health, a business that was totally destroyed and a 4 month old baby. My mind wasn’t working properly but thankfully I had the idea to pick the camera up and start filming my son. I’m forever grateful to past me for doing this because I cannot remember a thing from those days so those films are the only thing I have of that time.

I’ve done films and shoots for many families now and I absolutely love them. Typically they last between 2- 3 minutes or the length of one song. I can do them in home and in the outdoors, whichever you prefer but when filming babies and small children I’d always advise to do it when they can walk, out of a pram and a little more robust. When they are toddlers it’s much better for me to visit you.

NEW FOR 2025

Real time family stories…. shot with a camcorder type feel, including audio snippets and real sound. Whilst I adore the more polished family films, I’ve recently filmed my own family in real time. Purely because I’m so busy working for other couples and families that I don’t have time to shoot or edit my own family memories. Experimenting with these types of films made me decide to offer them to other families. Hearing my sons giggles, our terrible singing and other intimate family moments made me realise I was missing a trick by not offering this to others. The best bit, with the camera I use, kids and clients can use it too. So I get a mixture of footage shot by me, and you. Here is our most recent camping trip as a family of 3. Shot over 2 days.
