Grace, Ranulph and Max – Family Photographer Bournemouth

August 2018

This was absolutely one of my favourite family shoots. Grace and her husband live a 2 minute walk (even on toddler legs) from the woods and they spend so much time together in this awesome playground of nature. With daddy still at work (We did a shoot with daddy later) this portrait session focused on mother and son and their “ordinary” day they spend together.

Well, it turned out to be less ordinary, more extraordinary… When the clouds gave way to the sunshine, pools of light travelled through the woodland canopy, landing on the leaves of the lush green fern. I can’t help but feeling a bit poetic, but honestly, the force of nature’s beauty hit me yet again that day. It was a privilege to be able to capture the obvious bond between Grace, Rannie and nature itself. Max, the dog, wasn’t going to miss out on his spot in the limelight as well and I’m pleased to announce that he didn’t lick the lens once! Phew.
