Rainy Days – A Documentary Family Session at Home in Cheshire
There are SO many milestones to capture along the way that it’s hard to know when is the perfect time to have your very own family photo shoot (or family photography session as I call it).
You know, it’s now.
I think we can spend so long waiting for the perfect time it becomes too late when we realise there is no perfect time. The time is now!

Meet Robyn: A Family Photo Session at Home in Cheshire
So let me introduce you to Robyn and her family. They live over in Cheshire in a town called Hale.
Her Mum came to me after being recommended to me by Sara and Sarah from her NTC group (yey) and was nervous about their new family home looking a bit ‘retro’ because they’d not had time to redecorate.
I’m SO glad they decided to go ahead regardless because it meant I was able to hang out with them and capture not only some very cute family moments but also a HUGE milestone for Robyn…
Her first steps!
Capturing a Once-in-a-Lifetime Milestone: First Steps!
If you’re wondering what all the fuss is about then let me share a few of my favourite moments with you from their family session at their home in Hale, Cheshire
What Is Documentary Family Photography?
Real Life Family Photography – Award Winning Documentary Photographer Cheshire
Spending around 2-3 hours with you not only allows me to capture lots of family moments in both photos and video but it also means you guys have time to feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Perfect for me as your family photographer as I can slow down and really observe those every day moments.
Perfect for you as you can relax into it and feel like you can be yourselves instead of worrying about the camera!

Natural, Relaxed and Unposed Family Moments
As nice as I am I know when I bring a camera in to the mix it’s easy to suddenly worry about what to do or how to look!
I want you to feel relaxed. To feel like I’m a new friend who’s come to hang out and chat for a bit, maybe enjoy a (rare) cup of hot(ish) tea and I just happen to have a camera with me.
No posing.
No feeling awkward.
It’s simply me capturing you and your family being yourselves (the nice stuff and the chaos!)

Sounding a little too ‘easy’?
Well feel free to get in touch so I can share my brochure with you and help you decide if this more ‘alternative’ approach to capturing family life may actually be perfect for you.
