The Goldhawk Family : family session in Newquay

November 5, 2018 · Leave a Comment

It was such a pleasure to meet Zanna & Harry (who run the Cornish-based Papio Press) and little Theo for a family session at my local park in Newquay. We were so lucky to catch some beautiful autumn rays, and since Zanna and Harry didn’t have any portraits from their wedding day, we also indulged in some sweet couple time with them!

‘Zanna grew up in Cornwall so when we got married we knew it was the perfect place to move to start our family. We wanted to do something special to celebrate the arrival of little Theo and were over the moon with these photos. We’re illustrators that are hugely inspired by plants and nature so it just felt right to capture these lovely family memories amongst the trees.’

Zanna, Harry and Theo, I had such a lovely time capturing your little family. Hopefully, I’ll get to be a part of many more moments in your lives!

The Ling Family : Family fun on the beach

Over the years, we’ve had a few photographic adventures with Wendy and Martin in places like Paris and London. Now, after having grown into a family of four, they came down to Cornwall for a family shoot on the beach. It was special to get to still feel connected to their journey, as well as spending time on my home turf.

‘There’s nothing better than lovely beaches and beautiful sceneries in Cornwall, not to mention the Cornish Pasty! Since we first visited 3 years ago, we have made it our annual summer getaway from the hustle and bustle of busy cities just to relax and enjoy the sea breeze.’

– Wendy & Martin

Wendy and Marin, it was such a pleasure to meet your growing family, and get to spend time with you in my beautiful Cornwall. I’m sure there will be many more shoots to come in the years to come!

The Dustow Family : smiles and laughter by the sea

Spending time on the beach, capturing happy family memories, is one of my favourite things. For this family shoot with Carrie, Ian, River and Eden, we headed to Crantock beach, which never disappoints – no matter what the weather! Not that I’m complaining about how the sun blessed us this summer, it definitely was a stunner.

‘Cornwall is our home and will always be our home! It was agreed when we first started dating. We love being able to pick up our boys from school and head straight to the beach to make the very most of the rest of the day. Ian loves to go for a sail on the Cornish coast and he can not wait to take our boys out for their first sail. Sailing has been such a huge part of his life – from sailing as a toddler with his dad to proposing to me just off of the Falmouth coast. We’ve made so many memories here in Cornwall and we can’t wait to make thousands more!’

– Carrie & Ian

We shared so many laughs and giggles, what better way to remember long lazy summer days!

The Lepola Family : day on the beach family shoot

I’ve worked with Hayley & Lucas on commercial photography for some years, and it has been so lovely to see their family grow, first with June and more recently with little Otis. I couldn’t have been happier to spend some time on a beach in Cornwall to capture them and their gorgeous family, making Cornish memories.

‘We first visited Cornwall in 2014 when Hayley was pregnant with our first. We regretted not having visited sooner as we immediately we fell in love with the beautiful beaches, towns and countryside. We came back the following year for our first family holiday with June. Most recently we’ve been back with June’s baby brother for our first holiday as a family of four. We’ve made so many special family memories here and can’t wait to make a family tradition of spending time together in beautiful Cornwall.’

– Hayley & Lucas

Our shoot fell between swelteringly hot days, and it was actually nice to get a wee break from the sun and get to shoot in some even light. Besides, any day is a good beach day!

Family Session by the sea in Cornwall

We had to postpone the Michell Family photo shoot in Cornwall multiple times as it just would not stop raining! But eventually, we decided to just go for it and the sun agreed and came out in all its glory! The North Cornish coast was the perfect backdrop to capturing beautiful moments for this young family, and I enjoyed every minute of our time together!
