Family Photography – Dogs are part of the family too!

They say “Never work with children or animals”, I couldn’t agree less! I like to be kept on my toes. Children and animals don’t sit still and why should they? Their job is to have fun, my job is to capture it.

Whenever a client asks me if it’s ok if they bring dogs to a family shoot they always seem to ask through a wince, anticipating a similar response from me. Nothing could be further from the truth though. I love the challenge!

Capturing authentic family photography

The best family photography captures natural, authentic moments that show the love and bond within a family.

I was delighted to be able to get back out shooting what I love best recently – Family photography. A couple of weeks ago I had a wonderful session with Aleksandra and her family on a beautiful sunny morning at Temple Newsam.

I usually shoot family photography sessions in the woods or a park but for this shoot we’d arranged to shoot in the client’s back garden. As I arrived at their house on the outskirts of Huddersfield it was immediately obvious why they’d asked me to shoot there.
