Family Photography Watergate Bay Cornwall
A family photography session at Watergate Bay, Cornwall. Candid, natural family portraits.
We had some lovely sunny autumn days here in Cornwall recently. Rebecca contacted me a while ago tp photograph their family during their stay at Watergate Bay in Cornwall. It was her mum’s birthday weekend and together with her sister’s family they stayed at Watergate Bay hotel to celebrate. Rebecca wanted make a photo album with family photos for her mum’s birthday present. I think its such a great idea!
So we ventured to on the beach on a sunny day to take some natural family portraits. They had so much fun playing around in the rock pools, I just quietly observed and took some candid shots. What a lovely family!
Here are a few of my favourites from the session.
If you need some natural family portraits, now is a great time of year to photograph your loved ones. Please email me for a quote.
Family Portrait Photography at Trevone Beach in Cornwall
A family portrait photoshoot on Trevone Beach in Cornwall..
I was quite excited when I received a call from Martyn's sister a few months ago that she wanted to surprise Martyn and Katie with a family portrait photoshoot for his birthday present. I shot Katie and Martyn's wedding back in 2014, they are such a lovely couple and it's nice to hear that they are a family now. Their little son Harvey is a bundle of fun! Nice to see a couple again after a few years and have the opportunity to photograph them again, this time with their whole family including 'Buddy' the little terrier who I already met a few years back..We went on their local beach Trevone on the north cornish coast..here are a few shots from the day..
But if you can’t wait and have a trip to the beach planned anytime soon with your own camera and want some tips about beach photography, Pixpa.com have written an in depth article to improve your beach portrait photography skills to get better family snaps.

It’s your day so do what you want! It’s hard I get it, guest lists, kids or no kids, are dogs welcome, should I invite that auntie and uncle I haven’t seen in years, should I hire a wedding car …But life is short and traditions are there to be broken. Do what you feel like doing and not what you think is expected!
I curated some tips to help you make the most out of your wedding day and photography…

When searching for your wedding photographer, you’ve probably fallen in love with a particular wedding photography style — whether that’s documentary, editorial, film-inspired, or something with a fine art edge. Choosing a style you love is important, but beyond the aesthetic, have you thought about which moments from your wedding day you’ll want to relive forever?
