Check out this gorgeous South Wales sunset photo shoot! When I started photographing families 13 years ago, it was primarily families with young children. Over the years there seems to have been a shift in that pattern and now I’m getting lots of bookings with older children. Maybe it’s because my children are growing up and I know lots of people with older children. Or maybe it’s because families have started to realise it’s never too late to capture the magic of their kids – no matter how old they are!
This shoot was booked to capture 3 cousins together and I managed to twist Mum’s arm into joining in with the shoot and getting some family photos taken at the same time. I’m pretty sure she’s pleased that I did and now they have a gorgeous selection of images of ALL of them before their eldest finishes school. I feel very passionately about encouraging parents to include themselves into the family photos. It’s a shared history that is not complete without every member of the family being featured.
The beach at sunset it my favourite place to be and I’m very grateful that my clients agree. We had a spectacular sunset on this shoot – scroll down to see the amazing colours. We started off with a walk around the gardens and on the cliff tops. Then went down to the beach to watch the sunset. There was some hot chocolate too – nice one Mum!
If you fancy a family shoot on location in South Wales – be it at the beach or at a favourite location of yours – drop me a line.
