Earlier this summer I had the unexpected opportunity to capture an incredible sea fret during a family trip to the Yorkshire coast.

We arrived at Hunmanby Gap, just down from Filey on the Yorkshire coast, fairly early and we were greeted with a really interesting morning mist.

Family photography - Portrait of a mother, son and baby

A few months ago I had the pleasure of meeting up with Alix and her family for a family shoot at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

The family had adopted a large oak tree and it’s a location that’s very important to them so it was a real pleasure to shoot them as a family in one of their favourite places. Not least because their family had very recently grown by one!
