I first photographed Caroline when she was pregnant with Jackson and had the pleasure of returning, when he was just days old, to capture her family as they got to know the dynamics of their new, four person, family.
A year later, I was delighted to be invited back to photograph this family enjoying a stroll in the woods near to their home. Jackson, now one, and his big sister Jessica, were utterly adorable and aside from a sandal in the mud moment (Jessica) and an eating stones/crawling stumble (Jackson) the session went so well…these guys are, quite simply, a great family to be around. Alan didn’t mind having his head bitten by his son whilst carrying him on his shoulders, Caroline didn’t mind that her face got smooshed as her daughter threw her arms around her and the children clearly embrace every minute of being loved by their parents. It’s occasions like these, seeing families growing and playing together, that really do remind me how lucky I am to do this job.
Here are a few pictures from their session.
