Loved and secure in his dad’s arms.

The best thing about outdoor family sessions is having the freedom to explore and the space for movement. This family fully embraced the opportunity and we had lots of adventures with the children to capture.

Can’t quite believe his good luck that he has a whole, delicious cake in front of him and nobody is making a move to stop him eating it. It’s good to be the birthday boy.

When you become the big sister and the responsibility falls on you to keep everyone entertained.

Delighted to photograph this impressive young woman again today. Juggling senior school and part-time work, Paris is also getting ready to launch her own business. Making a 100% natural body scrub made from a few of my favourite things … coffee, chocolate and coconut, amongst other things. What’s not to love about that combination?

I was heading to a newborn shoot last week and knew I had arrived at the right house when I saw a big delivery of Nespresso pods at the front door. This house has 3 boys under 3 years old, so I imagine caffeine is an integral part of parenting. Welcome baby Cole X.

The change in seasons was so dramatic in NY, where all the parks were an amazing riot of colour. Sort of like a gift to your senses to get you through the impending grey of winter.

Mothers and their sons. It’s a big, overwhelming and powerful love. We want to simultaneously wrap them in the safety of our arms, and also give them the freedom to explore and grow.

Just kicking back, relaxing and waiting for his photo shoot to get underway.

Late afternoon, sunset family sessions are the best at this time of year. Soft, golden light and beautiful backdrops right on our doorstep. Let’s go explore.

I first photographed this family three years ago and was delighted to spend another afternoon with them yesterday. A new addition to the family, a whole lot of new curls, but the same beautiful connection and energy between them all.

I know it sounds cheesy, but one of the best parts of my job is to be invited back to capture the changing dynamics of family life.

There’s an incredible amount to be proud of when you have created a family and home over this many years together. So lovely to spend an afternoon with Julie and Tim, with the next two generations of their family surrounding them.
