Planning a family photo session can actually be… fun.

Here are 3 ways to keep things relaxed:
1️⃣ Choose your happy place: Your favourite beach, a much‑loved park, or home. When everyone feels comfortable, the real smiles appear. Not sure? We'll give suggestions and help you choose!

2️⃣ Work with your rhythms: We plan around energy levels, nap times and soft light so no one is pushed beyond their limit, especially little ones and grandparents.

3️⃣ Make it playful: Think cuddles, games, tickle attacks and movement instead of ‘stand here and smile’. We will guide you so it never feels awkward.

Save this for when you start planning your next photoshoot day

She’d been with me since I was seventeen.

Through illness. Through every country I lived in. Through every version of my life I’ve ever had.

When we lost her last June, my husband and I had a twelve hour drive ahead of us.

We spent the whole time scrolling through photos. Laughing. Crying. Holding on.
Those photos got us home.

I’ve been a dog photographer for fifteen years because of her. And this June, I’m doing something in her memory.

More on Sunday.

Grandparents, cousins, aunties, uncles... how often are you all in one place at the same time?

Extended family sessions are about more than one big group photo. They’re about the little in‑between moments: grandpa telling stories, cousins racing along the sand, tiny hands in the biscuit tin, grandma’s quiet cuddles when everyone else is running wild.

Hold these memories close. Let's document them.

This is Flee. She’s the reason I became a dog photographer fifteen years ago. She’s also the reason I’m doing something a little different this June. More on Sunday.

For now, hi. I’m Kirstie. I photograph dogs, and I take it very seriously

One of the loveliest things to hear after a session is that it felt easy.

No pressure, no stiff posing just a relaxed experience, beautiful locations, and images that feel as good as the moment did. That’s always the goal.

Ashley’s words are such a beautiful reminder that family photos don’t have to feel stressful to become something you’ll treasure forever.

🤍 If you’ve been wanting photos that feel calm, natural and genuinely enjoyable, I’d love to create that with you.

How many beautiful memories live on your phone… and never make it to your walls?

Perhaps the quality isn't there, or you just never got around to printing them.

But what if your favourite beings hung proudly in your home; greeting you in the hallway, hanging over the couch, or sitting on your bedside table.

That silly beach laugh, that cuddle with grandma, your cheeky dog, that ‘this is so us’ moment… they deserve more than a quick scroll or the tiny version you're seeing.

With every session, before picking up the camera we've already discussed how your images will live in your home- and we shoot with that in mind. We will help you choose the photographs, design the layout, and create wall art or albums that feel like a natural extension of your space.

If you’re dreaming of a home filled with memories, not just blank walls - let's chat.

Sometimes the most memorable family moments look exactly like this, a happy dog rolling in the grass, completely in their element.

These are the little quirks and big personalities that make a family story feel real, and they deserve to be remembered too.

🤍 If this looks like your dog, save this post or reach out to plan a session that includes every loved one, paws included.

The best portraits happen when everyone can simply be themselves, dogs included.

No flash to spook the dog. No awkward posing. Just gentle guidance, a relaxed little adventure that feels like your real life not a version of it performed for the camera (and a bag of treats)!

🤍 Enquire to create a portrait experience that feels calm, playful, and true to you.

Calvin’s second shoot with us.. but this time with hurricane Sassy!

Zoomies, sandy noses, muddy paws, or wise grey muzzles; every quirk is welcome here.

Our pet sessions with us are built around who your dog really is: leaping for a ball on the beach, trotting along your favourite trail, napping in their sunny spot at home, or joining you for a puppacino at the local café.

We’re capturing the tiny moments that make them part of your family story; their head tilt, the butt wiggle, the way they look at you like you’re their whole world.

One day, these photographs will mean more than words. 🐾
