Lifestyle Family Photography | Sand Dunes and Salty Air

I love to connect with you and the wonderful Jess over on instagram is no exception. We have a shared love of relaxed moments and slow living. I was delighted when she booked me in for some lifestyle family photography.

Slow and relaxed was exactly the vibe that Jess was seeking in her natural, candid, family photographs. She wanted to be able to capture the personalities of her beautiful children naturally and in the moment, exactly as the are now.

This was especially pertinent as like most of us, it was such a different Summer for their family during Lockdown, a time that absolutely should be recorded to look back on.

Ask yourself “What do you want to remember?”

I connected immediately with this beautiful family whose love and joy were truly palpable. The children didn’t stop giggling and playing. It was truly heartwarming to be able to be in the background, capturing the family at play.

We also took some time to capture Jess breastfeeding Sebastian. Remembering these precious and intimate moments is really important to Jess. 

I asked Jess what else she wanted to remember during this time, she shared this with me;

“How happy we are, despite the exhaustion and chaos. Especially how happy we are this year because we’ve been lucky to have so much extra time together through lockdown. It feels like we’re all thriving at the moment and I want to bottle it!”

What a wonderful outlook on these past few years.

Your stay in Cornwall

Incorporating a lifetsyle family photography session during your holiday in Cornwall is a fantastic idea to capture your family at their most relaxed.

The family stayed in Cornwall in the fantastic Bedruthan Hotel and Spa which is wonderfully accommodating for family stays in the beautiful Cornish clifftops.

This shoot was taken at Holywell Bay, one of my all time favourite places to shoot. There is so much to explore and it’s the most beautiful place.

It is so special ending a shoot watching the sun go down. Here we walked away surrounded by a beautiful pink light. I’m always amazed at how beautiful and changeable the light is here, making for unique and beautiful photographs for your family to truly treasure.
