I lost my Dad just over a year ago and when it came to going through his things we came across so many photographs that made us laugh, cry and remember. 

That’s the thing about Photography, it can make you FEEL so much.

When someone you care about passes away it brings a new meaning to the photographs you have.  I wished I had taken more when I was in his company especially of the children with him as now we wont get that chance again. 

Life takes over and you just take for granted the time you have with people and never think they won’t be around anymore.

We have so many memories and my Dad was a character that was for certain so plenty of stories to share and laugh about too!

Just wish I had captured more photographs during those times to look back on.

As a Photographer I love so many aspects of my job but in particular I love that I’m part of a families journey whether it be the MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT, documenting the pregnancy and the woman’s changing shape.

The NEWBORN PHOTOSHOOT and that baby’s first few weeks on earth, the little curled up shots and snuggly cuddles with the new Mummy and Daddy, probably the first family photo they will have and will of course treasure forever.

Or one of the many milestone portrait sessions and seeing the baby celebrate a new stage in their life such as SITTER session where their little personality is starting to really show itself or 1^st birthday where we have a CAKE SMASH AND SPLASH photoshoot which is not just a photoshoot but also an experience and something that parents will look back on with fond memories.

I love my job and I love that I am part of that journey with you.

After my Newborn Photoshoot yesterday my daughter asked me if there was something that I didn’t like about my job and I honestly can say no there isn’t!  Not many people can say that, Can they??!!

So my reason for this blog post really is to remind you to TAKE THAT PHOTO! 

It’s wonderful having so many memories and experiences but that photo you take will mean so much, so much more than you realise in the future.
