Informal Family Sessions at Home

Are you looking for a home family session to get some beautiful natural family images?
In between the main wedding season, we catch up with many couples as their families develop and grow.

It’s a great way to get images and make photo presents for loved ones.
We don’t do studio-based settings  -we can advise of our faves for that if you want that style.
Our couples are into easygoing captures at home in a natural engaging setting.

Of course, if the weather is good a few outdoor shots are always optional!
It’s so lovely to catch up with wedding couples and to capture important life stories for them in this way.
Just what Steph and Waren did.  We capture their pre-wedding shoot and fabulous  destination wedding in Dubrovnik
Their home is filled with beautiful images and memories.

Charity Autumn Family Shoot

Local Charity Family Shoot

The Elsie Moon Charity is a wonderful charity supporting families when pregnancies don’t go to plan.
We have long been friends with Lindsey who has set this charity up with her partner in the name of their baby daughter Elsie.

Rainbow baby Toby was 1 last week – how quick that has come around!
To celebrate his birthday, albeit, in lockdown, Lindsey asked if we could take some pics for family memories.
We were only too delighted and asked that donations for the session go to this lovely local charity.

Autumn is the perfect season for family pictures don’t you think?
We love the golden colours and the falling leaves.
These are just a few of the images resulting session, hope you enjoy x

Would have been Wedding Day for Laura & Dean

family shoot, Wirral Photography

We are so enjoying cheering up our couples with a Wirral family photography session on their Would have been wedding day.
It’s just a little way we can give back, some joy and togetherness on potentially a difficult day.
A positive focus, something still to celebrate on the day which would have been filled with vows, family, and friends all being able to celebrate together.
It’s a day when we can still create some beautiful images and memories – with more to follow next year for the rearranged wedding date.

We had a lovely catch-up with Laura and Sean, baby Jess, and of course furbaby Lola – of course, she wanted to get in on the act!
Lola will be making an appearance at their wedding too. We can’t wait for all our 2021 weddings – going to be an epic year!

For now, enjoy these few highlights as we strolled around a few areas in the historic beautiful Port Sunlight Village.
Big thanks too to Laura’s mum for coming along to take care of Lola and Jess when needed and also for brilliantly helping with getting Jess’s attention for us.
Always a good idea with family shoots to bring along another responsible family member to help with little ones when couple shots are taken.

Fairy Glen Port Sunlight

There is a cute fairy glen now in Port Sunlight – only discovered it recently.  Full of sparkly decorations and ribbons, a dolls house, and lots more kitch decor.
Think Jess was mesmerized with it all – the look of wonder on her face was so cute.

Memorial Gardens Port Sunlight

The Hillsborough memorial garden is always a beautiful spot with its poignant tribute to the 96
The flower beds here are often colourful, red and white, making for some pretty layered frames.

If you have had to rearrange your day – like so many this year.  Mark the day with something to remember as best you can.
Laura and Sean will receive all the digital files from this session with their wedding images.

Ashton Park Wirral Photography Family Shoot

Oh, it’s so good to be out shooting Wirral Photography Family shoots again.  Didn’t want our gear to get rusty!
It was really good too to catch up with Kyle and Victoria – wow a good few years since we covered their winter wonderland Liverpool wedding
..and now they have a beautiful family of 3 with Fleur, Freddie and now baby Fern.

We spent a pleasant hour or so wandering around our local Ashton Park with this lovely family.
Capturing a few more formal groups, but most of all just enjoying some candid moments as they explored the sculptures,
the planet trail, and other features of the park,. Fleur loved the planet trail!

Later it was duck feeding, the throwing of leaves went a bit awry but blowing bubbles is always fun
Such a pleasant way to catch up and capture candid images.
A lovely way for Kyle to have some family time as his paternity leave came to an end.

Here are just a few of their images to enjoy.

 Family Shoot in Port Sunlight: Chas & Casey

We do feel for all our couples who were due to have a family shoot or pre-wedding shoot with us and have had to postpone for the moment
This time will pass and we can reschedule – we have various options, so please don’t worry, they will happen!

Port Sunlight Family Shoot

We were blessed to capture Casey and Chas along with their adorable girls – don’t you just love their bobble hats!
Their Wirral family shoot took place in Port Sunlight at the end of February this year.
It was a little chilly but a good excuse to cuddle up and keep each other warm and for the girls to run around.
The Dell area in Port Sunlight is always a popular choice, spoilt for choice for locations.
The early signs of Spring were around with crocuses and blossom coming out.
We dodged a few rain clouds and chatted over hot chocolate afterwards to warm up and catch up with wedding plans.

We are always happy if you have children for them to come along on a pre-wedding shoot – it’s a great way to get to know each other.
Get any shyness out of the way and to build a rapport with each other. Then we are all relaxed on the day at the beginning.
All our couples absolutely love this time, when they can escape the planning for a wu=hile and take time out to be with each other.
Plus they get some gorgeous precious family keepsakes.  Chas and  Casey, we know, are looking forward to getting some family images framed.

Hope you see from this short selection of images they will be spoilt for choice.
Enjoy guys and we really look forward to your wedding.  It may not be in May this year.
Whenever it is it will be an amazing special family day and we will be there for you. xx

Caldy Beach: Family Shoot Surprise

Caldy Beach Family Shoot Surprise

A family shoot for Chelsea Jack and Flo  …with a little surprise

Pixsmiths had previously enjoyed a family shoot with Chelsea and Jack and baby Flo when she was just 6 weeks old.
That day it was too windy for the beach and a bit rainy, not ideal for a young baby, so Ashton Park was the location then.

Well, they loved their pics so much they decided to do another shoot when Flo was almost one and just a few weeks to their wedding  My, how she has grown!
Still a bit windy but we managed the beach this time. for this family/pre wed shoot

Caldy Beach Family Shoot

We prefer Caldy beach to the main beach at West Kirby.  It’s a little quieter and options of the hillside above and close access to the Wirral Way
So lots of photo options and variety.

The secret is out now can reveal more details about his shoot.
Well, Chelsea let me in on a secret so we planned that after a few shots on the beach that they would write a little message to each other ahead of their wedding.
A little love note. Well, Jack was a bit shy about this, caught him on the hop, but he was in for a bigger surprise……

Chelsea and Jack wrote their messages to each other on little chalkboards with their back to each other
They then walked towards each other and revealed their messages.  Jack first and then Chelsea
Sorry can’t repeat what he actually said but he was so happy!
We’ll let the pictures tell the story of this pregnancy reveal.

This was the first time we have done a pregnancy reveal shoot.  It was so much fun and a real privilege to share and capture such an amazing moment.
At the very beginning of 2019, we captured a surprise proposal.

If you have ideas for  a unique shoot or just want some beautiful pictures of yourselves or fur babies we’d be delighted to chat about your plans
