If this sounds like you then, hey, I can totally relate!

I am a family photographer in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk and I am also a mother and a wife, so I know exactly how you feel. We love our family dearly and the time seems to fly by so so quickly, right? It is pretty crazy…

With that in mind, it is so important that you capture the moments of your life that feel incredible and even overwhelming at times, as well as getting to remember how small your children once were.

And, I know being in front of the camera can feel intimidating and even forced at times, but with me, that is not the case! I will encourage you to be yourself, have fun and I will be your friend every step of the way to capture your love for one another for how it truly is.

So, I am going to talk about the importance of family photos. 

4 Reasons to Have a Family Photoshoot

• You Create Lifelong Memories
• They are Fun and Intimate
• They Promote Love in Your Home
• Share Them With Loved Ones

You Create Lifelong Memories

The beauty of images is the fact that they last an entire lifetime, unlike memories. Memories in our minds eventually fade, or they aren’t as clear.

However, photographs hold every single detail and when you look back at these family photos in years and years to come you will be taken right back to that time in your life and you will see how small everyone once was.

They are Fun and Intimate

The first thing that comes to mind when you think of professional family photography is how awkward and scary it will feel. It is totally normal and valid to feel this way!

I truly understand how you feel, so I make sure I get to know you on a more personal basis, so when it comes to our photo shoot, we get on like a house on fire as if we have been friends for a while and I will encourage you to be 100% yourself.

Encouraging you to be yourself, allows you and your children to relax, chat, be silly, and play around as well as the outcome of your family photos looking natural and genuine.

You will have a fun and unique day out with your family in an environment that does not include phones or distractions from the outside world, so you can completely bond.

Whether these are family photos with newborns or older kids, you will feel completely relaxed with me.

They Promote Love in Your Home

It is actually a proven fact that family photos in your home promote love and appreciation. 

When your kids see these images of them with their parents around the home that is how they feel and isn’t that the goal for every parent? 

Seeing these lovely memories around your home will also put a smile on your face and remind you of the good and hard times that you may face! You will appreciate your unique family journey and be reminded that all the highs and lows are worth it.

Share Them With Loved Ones

How many times have your heard your parents pestering you for photos of the kids? Or, family photos of you and the kids! 

I get it. With the hecticness of everyday life – work, children, cleaning and everything else when is there a chance for everyone to scrub up and take some lovely photos?

It is hardly ever possible to get everyone smiling and dressed up at once. But, if you book a family photoshoot you have an excuse to take a day off from everything and spend time getting not only your kids ready, but yourself too.

As well, when your kids are not familiar with someone, such as a photographer they are more likely to relax and not refuse photos. They will see that you are there for a reason and a professional is there to take the photos so they feel more of a need to behave.

Plus, as I said I will ensure you all feel relaxed and natural in my presence.
