Isaac's Autumn family photos, Bodenham Arboretum

We had such a wonderful day at Bodenham Arboretum taking Autumn family photos with this sweet family.

Sometimes toddlers, unsurprisingly, are not instantly in love with the idea of family photos. But we found heaps of ways to cheer him up. I think by the end we’d won him over. If you’re wondering about the key to success, it was lunch. Same for Nom most of the time.

It’s seriously fun to watch these three together. We’ve known Joe & Sarah for a long time now and it’s lovely to see them become the sweetest parents. Anyone want to see their wedding photos? My Mum refers to their wedding as ‘The Space Hopper Wedding’ to this day. They’re still two of our favourite people, except now they’re three.

The toddlers-eye view of the Arboretum was great fun! We played hide and seek, stomped around in the leaves and waved at the sheep. Standard day for Nom & Malc ;)

So, are you up for some Autumn photos? We love relaxed family photoshoots, without the cringy posing but with all the puddle jumping and cake breaks you can muster. These guys got their photoshoot as a gift voucher, you can get your hands on one too. They’re instant download and make a lovely present for a new baby or child’s birthday, even if I do say so myself.

Dan and Alice's engagement photos in Redditch, Birmingham

We’ve met these guys at a few weddings and hopefully, it’s their turn in spring! We met up for a dog walk across the fields near their home to talk about all their plans for the rescheduled wedding day. Of course we couldn’t leave their dog Digby out of the fun, having him around made this into a really chilled shoot.

I loved how enthusiastic they were talking about their venue (Cider Mill Barns). They first went to see it before the building work was complete and now they’re such big fans that we can’t wait to see it either.

I love Alice’s face in these last few pictures. It’s the look of relief after we walked a little closer to the cows than she would have liked! Sorry Alice, hope you think the photos were worth it!

If you’d like more of on our engagement sessions take a look here or drop us a message to discuss what you’re looking for. They’re a great way to see how we’d all work together on your wedding day if you’d like to take us for a test drive.

Baby River- relaxed newborn photos at home Birmingham

I loved taking these newborn pictures for Charlie & Laura at home. This little squish is 2 weeks old and is the sweetest little thing. She slept almost our whole shoot, you’ll see what finally woke her up - after she’d slept through a nappy change and being licked by their dogs!

These quiet moments on newborn shoots are utterly lovely- just being able to gaze at a brand new little one and take them all in. I love being able to hear how brand new parents are getting on, and seeing how they’ve already become experts in their new job.

Don’t these pooches absolutely make this family photoshoot perfect! They are so lovely and interested in the baby, as keen to keep her safe as they are to lick her. It was a lot of fun to get photos with them. And it wasn’t the first time with Bobby either- he featured in Charlie & Laura’s engagement shoot (click here if you’d like to see how much he’s grown)

River woke up in the bathtub! Look at those gorgeous deep eyes and towel-wrapped snuggles. Seriously, newborn shoots are like magic.
