Parent photos

Let me guess - your camera roll full of photos of your children, but not so many of you with your children?

If you have been following me for a while you will know that I am passionate about Mums being in photos with their kids. Dads too of course, but I just have a feeling that Mums are missing out more.

In my house, I have to ask my husband to take a photo of me with my son. If Elijah and I are doing something together I will say to Stu, can you please take a quick photo of us. We don't have to stop what we are doing and look at the camera/phone, we just carry on and the moment is documented. I just naturally do it of my husband and son together - obviously because I am a phtoographer but maybe also because I am a mum and we work hard to document our families.

Anyway I feel really strongly about parents having photos WITH their children, not just OF their children.

Even if a family have booked only their children in for photos, I will almost always ask if the parents would like a photo too. We tend to be terribly hard on ourselves and don't want to be in photos but I promise you, your children will thank you for it.

Capturing moments that show your bond and love for each other is priceless.

I want to capture moments of you just BEING with your children. Looking at them, cuddling them, tickling them, snuggling them, feeding them, and pouring all your love on them at this time in your life.
