I’ve got such a special family session to share with you all today. I first met this wonderful family nearly 7 years ago. Layla was newborn, tiny, and scrunched up with an absolutely besotted Kelly and Eddie unable to take their eyes off her. I had some wonderful cuddles that day and loved getting to know the family.
Fast forward to 2021 and I was over the moon when they got in touch to say that they would be on holiday in Cornwall and thought it was time for some new family photographs. Little Layla is six years old now and I was so looking forward to seeing her again and hearing how they’ve all been over the years.
Sennen Cove – Cornwall Family Photographer
Wild, grassy dunes, beautiful blue waters, and miles of golden sand. Sennen Cove Beach is a fantastic spot for family photographs, especially at sunset which is when we decided to meet up. I always try to schedule outdoor family sessions for sunrise or sunset. There’s nothing quite like the stunning golden light you get as the day is dawning or the sun is setting.
It’s always an honour when a family returns to you over the years for more sessions. I love seeing how much everyone has grown and changed over the years, catching up on all their news, and meeting any new additions – furbabies or human babies! In this case, it was Benson the adorable beagle who joined us for the session.
Family Photos include your furbabies!
As soon as I met up with Kelly, Eddie, Layla, and Benson I knew we were going to have a great evening. It was just like meeting up with old friends. We chattered and laughed together as we made our way down the hill to the cove. The warm vibe between us all set the tone for the photography session. With a breathtaking sunset as our backdrop, we strolled along the beach, paddled in the surf, and even spotted some dolphins. It was magical! Layla enjoyed lots of snuggles with her parents as well as insisting on having a piggyback along the sand. Eddie couldn’t say no! Not to be left out Benson posed happily for a few pictures before having a good old sniff around the dunes whilst I photographed Kelly, Eddie and Layla. I’m pretty sure he could smell the rabbits that regularly play there!
I absolutely adore being a Cornwall family photographer, there’s no place on earth quite like a Cornish beach and I find that families just can’t help but be in the moment and enjoy themselves together there – whether they’re on holiday or they’re on a beach that they’ve spent their lives enjoying!
My family lifestyle sessions are always best when families forget they’re being photographed and embrace every minute of being together. When you make the most of the beautiful surroundings and have fun. Just as Eddie, Kelly, and Layla did. I promise that if you engage with your family, run, laugh, be silly and snuggle up then your photographs will be ones that you will treasure forever. My heart sings whenever I put together a gallery and the love you all have for each other just shines out of it!
If you’d like to book a family shoot then I’d love to hear from you. The best part of being a Cornwall family photographer is that I get to explore your favourite spots with you!
