I loved everything about this family photography session at Mercia Marina Willington,  apart from the insect bites!  I suppose that’s what you get for scheduling it for the ‘golden hour’ near a canal.

The youngest is starting school in a few weeks, so this was a special shoot for Mum.   Though just a short(ish) midweek session, we manage to achieve a variety of shots, backgrounds and a couple of outfit changes and all without walking far.   Generally I advise against patterned clothing;  however if you have an eye for what works well together, like this mum, it can work very nicely for a few shots.

If you fancy creating some lovely family portraits at sunset by the canal; please get in touch… and stock up on insect repellent :)
