A good mate of mine, Troy, had only ever had his children photographed by shopping centre studios and when he mentioned that Jill was keen to get some photos of their youngest daughter, Mena, and was looking at the the same style of photography they had experienced in the past I twisted their arm into trying something different with me this time round.
I suggested an outdoor shoot with the whole family, Troy wasn’t overly excited by the idea but he slowly came round. It wasn’t long into the shoot before it was very easy to see that Troy, Jill and the kids were all happy to be part of the shoot which turned out to be a fun afternoon at the beach for the family and an afternoon that can be relived and remembered for many years to come through some beautiful family photos.
I love this shot – one of my favourites.
Exploring rock pools – the perfect family afternoon.
So often parents are after the smiling photos of their kids – I much prefer an image like this which has so much more character.
Kynan playing it cool.
…but not for long.

Baby Mena – the very reason for this shoot.
A beautiful moment.
A total coincidence – Grandad happened to be at the same beach for a swim and was quick to grab his newest granddaughter for a photo or two.
