Cornwall Family Photography // St Ives

A wintery family photoshoot in St Ives Cornwall

It was a pleasure to meet these guys again for some family photos in St Ives. I photographed their wedding back in 2015 and they now have a little family with another one on the way. Where has time gone? I can’t believe it’s 7 years ago! Sara wanted their photos at the same place we shot their wedding a few years back on Porthminster beach. St Ives is also is a very special place for them. It was a baltic day with the north winds blowing into the beach and soon got a little cold to build sand castles, so we decided to head to the Arcades for some shelter…

I love meeting couples again after a few years, it is so nice to stay in touch and I can’t wait to meet their newest member of the family soon, hopefully it will be sunny and a little warmer next time!

Cornwall Family Portrait Photography // Trevone Beach

A family photoshoot on Trevone beach in Cornwall with beautiful early morning autumn light…

Some of my favourite photos from a family portrait photography session on Trevone Beach in Cornwall in September. We met early morning to beat the crowds and make the most out the almost empty beach. Gladly it was a sunny day and we were blessed with beautiful autumn light. A bit challenging at times was the youngest member of the family, she just wasn’t impressed at all and it was nap time… I had the feeling she would have preferred to go back to her cosy bed. I’m pleased we squeezed a couple of smiles out of her in the end…

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.
