A shout-out to the gorgeous siblings Issy + Ollie who came over today to help test out my set for this year’s Christmas photos. Some brutal feedback from a 4 year old on my music playlist, so I’ll take that on board. Love your work guys X

Not sure if it has been scientifically tested, but I heard a rumour that if you exercise while you are eating cake there are no calories. It’s worth a try.

A few of my favourite colour photos from our holiday in Spain. Some incredible scenery and places where the Camino trail was about one foot away from the sheer cliffs down to the beach.

It’s been very quiet on this page for the last fortnight as I ran away to Spain with my husband. We’ve spent time exploring gorgeous cities and also hiking the Camino del Norte. This is one of the Camino trails that runs along the northern coast. We’ve walked 301km in the trip and have had such an incredible time.

All my photos were taken on my phone and these are some of my B+W favourites.

So excited to get to see an exhibition of my favourite photographer. She was a nanny working in Chicago and New York in the 1950’s & 1960’s and would chronicle people and places with a perfect sense of framing and balance. Also lots of quirky self portraits through reflection and shadow. She has greatly influenced my style of street photography and you can see more here … Vivian Maier website

One of the most favourite parts of my job is spending an afternoon with a family, going on an adventure to explore new areas and capturing some memories for them.

Bookings now open! I am offering the sessions earlier this year as I know how chaotic it can get for families closer to Christmas. This will be my fifth year and I’m working on an exciting new theme and have introduced an online booking system so you can easily choose a day and time that suits your family.

Such an exciting time as this gorgeous family wait out the last few weeks before their new arrival. All the best Rachael, Matt and Hunter X

I’m passionate about families having photos to capture the moments that make their own special history. Today I’d love to share a bit of my history with you. My husband and I are celebrating 30 years together and I’ve loved being able to go back through the archives to see where this gorgeous journey has taken us.

Little boys are not always known for their love of sitting quietly, but we did manage to grab some photos of Noah and Will amongst their adventuring this afternoon.

As a photographer, I go into a session with a plan of the sort of images I would like to capture. Then I remember I’m working with children.

So pleased with herself to discover the speed and freedom that crawling allows. Nothing better than some unbridled freedom on a sunny day.
