Top tips for a painless family photo shoot

I'm not going to lie. In pretty much every family photoshoot I've ever had there's been a moment where one (if not all) of the children involved give up and lose interest in what's going on. I try to reassure the parents, who look naturally concerned when their children are frowning at me and my… Continue reading Top tips for a painless family photo shoot

Last weekend I met up with an old friend and her husband for some sunny photos. It was lovely to wander around and catch up while also being able to capture some photos of the two of them at Kuusisaari. It's a gorgeous location and is perfect for family sessions and the more romantic ones.

My eldest is now 11 and the preparation for her mini birthday shoot included debating between pairs of earrings and trying to find a hairstyle that would allow her 'dyed hair' to show. Something that never would have happened a year ago. She… Continue reading Time flies
