Fun Colourful Photography for Adventurous Families in Devon and Beyond DOCUMENTING YOUR FAMILY & TELLING YOUR STORY Let's celebrate the Everyday of family life, the chaos, the love, the rawness, the laughter because these are the best days. Don't look past them, embrace these tiny magical moments, that are happening right now, because they are beautiful. This is your story and I will capture it just for you. I create sumptuous images for adventurous families who yearn for gorgeous natural photographs of their little tribe. I celebrate sandy toes, loud laughter, muddy walks, furry friends and the organised chaos of love oozing from your very own family. You want to hang gorgeous photos on your walls and look through photo albums with your grandchildren, looking back on the day you had a beautiful photoshoot that captured the magic of ordinary everydays that are happening right now with your family. Shooting over 250 weddings and capturing family life as a documentary photographer has taken me from all over the south west england to London to Scotland and France. I love photographing people during these celebrations, but I am no longer taking on weddings as I now focus on family and commercial photography.
