Making the most of an afternoon in the sunshine before their little family of three welcomes another member soon.

A quiet moment this afternoon captured between the beautiful chaos that is an extended family shoot. Anita + Pete have been married for 53 years and their family is making the most of having them visiting from England and getting everyone together for photos.

Stealing the limelight as she crawled around checking out the set for the Mother’s Day mini-sessions.

My Mother’s Day mini-sessions kicked off today and I was delighted to welcome back so many families I have been photographing over the years. And after 8 years, these two have a pretty special spot in my heart .

Harriet’s 21st birthday party recently was decorated with these white paper lanterns, so that is where the inspiration came from for the backdrop for my Mother’s Day mini-sessions. Lovely to get some photos with your mum .
