Devon Family & Portrait Photographer

We love ‘on location’ photo shoots especially as there’s plenty of beautiful scenery here in the South West! Whether this is on the beach, in the park or in the woodland, using a natural backdrop will provide the perfect setting for your photographs. 

We love photo shoots to be fun, with children laughing and smiling, so somewhere that everyone enjoys and loves, or that has a special meaning is the best place for the session. It will take time, however, for the group to get used to the camera so I’ve found that a family walk with a few stops for photos is the best approach.

Dartmoor, Bodmin Moor, Bigbury Beach, Cardinham woods and Mount Edgcumbe are some of our favourite locations, especially at sunset! However, if you would prefer a more traditional photo shoot, we are equally experienced with capturing formal family occasions, in-studio or in-home life style shoots. We can change location if the wind is high or rain is forecast, that's not a problem. Even though we plan as much as possible before hand, we are very flexible.

Choose a location

Creating beautiful and relaxed images takes time. We shoot a maximum of two outdoor portrait sessions a day. The photo shoots last between 1 and 3 hours. We are able to shoot any day of the week, some weekends and evenings too.

We can help choosing a location, what to wear and plan the style of the shoot using a Pinterest mood board. The shoot can be as planned or relaxed as you need.

When you book your family photoshoot we send across our booking forms and questionnaires so we know all the details of the day. 

We also plan a few backup dates just in case the weather is awful on your preferred photo shoot day, we will move the photo shoot free of charge if the weather isn't going our way.

Planning your photoshoot

We will confirm the session is going ahead the night before, the outdoor shoots are usually weather dependent, unless they happen to be in a covered woodland. 

When we arrive we capture you being YOU. It’s all about those authentic family experiences together, laughing, jumping, kissing, chasing one another and running wild. Those natural moments in your favourite place, whether that be climbing trees in the woodland, splashing in the sea or cuddled up together at home. We are honoured to capture your love, your joy and happiness (and even the toddler tantrums too!). Our organic style captures your personalities and those intimate moments between you, naturally and effortlessly, saving all that we see.
