Have you ever had welly slap? It's not pleasant... Complete School-Mum error on my part, thinking shorts + wellies was a good outfit ensemble for the beach...

So don’t worry about the kids playing up, getting mucky, or getting jam stuck in their hair. Muck and jam are real life, real-life is beautiful and that’s all that matters. Fact.

We already know that real life is where the real magic happens. In family life especially, it’s the intimate and everyday moments that tell the stories of our lives.

I know only too well, being a photographer, spending lots of your own family time - camera in hand, documenting all of those wonderful family moments, never missing a moment; birthdays, first steps, messy meal times, days on the beach… only to look back and see that there’s one person missing from all of those photographs. So it was an absolute pleasure to spend the afternoon documenting a fellow family photographer so that she could actually be captured with her family once and for all. Here’s to being present and in the frame!

A lovely afternoon spent with my wonderful friend and family at her home, documenting daily life as it presents itself on this particular day. So important to remember all of those quiet moments and days which roll into one but are so easily forgotten once they pass.
