Harju Family: family & portrait session in Newquay

February 27, 2026 · Leave a Comment

Devon and Cornwall family photography. Outdoor family photography session in Newquay.

Ok, the truth is, it’s been a little while since this session! But as I started dusting things off on the website and blog, I realised there were things I hadn’t blogged yet, as this part of my business has been on a bit of a hiatus. For the past few years, I’ve been focusing on product… Keep Reading

Cole Family: Barbados family session on the beach

July 27, 2024 · Leave a Comment

Barbados family photography. Beach family photography session in Foul Bay.

Still the same ocean, just the opposite shore… While we spent Christmas with family in Barbados, I also photographed a little family session on the beach. I have to say, I was down with a terrible cold and can’t remember much about actually doing this session on the account of the high fever at the… Keep Reading

The Goldhawk Family : family session in Newquay

November 5, 2018 · Leave a Comment

It was such a pleasure to meet Zanna & Harry (who run the Cornish-based Papio Press) and little Theo for a family session at my local park in Newquay. We were so lucky to catch some beautiful autumn rays, and since Zanna and Harry didn’t have any portraits from their wedding day, we also indulged… Keep Reading

The Ling Family : Family fun on the beach

October 8, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Over the years, we’ve had a few photographic adventures with Wendy and Martin in places like Paris and London. Now, after having grown into a family of four, they came down to Cornwall for a family shoot on the beach. It was special to get to still feel connected to their journey, as well as… Keep Reading

The Dustow Family : smiles and laughter by the sea

September 3, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Spending time on the beach, capturing happy family memories, is one of my favourite things. For this family shoot with Carrie, Ian, River and Eden, we headed to Crantock beach, which never disappoints – no matter what the weather! Not that I’m complaining about how the sun blessed us this summer, it definitely was a… Keep Reading

The Lepola Family : day on the beach family shoot

July 9, 2018 · Leave a Comment

I’ve worked with Hayley & Lucas on commercial photography for some years, and it has been so lovely to see their family grow, first with June and more recently with little Otis. I couldn’t have been happier to spend some time on a beach in Cornwall to capture them and their gorgeous family, making Cornish… Keep Reading

Family Session by the sea in Cornwall

Family photography in Cornwall by Marianne Taylor.

We had to postpone the Michell Family photo shoot in Cornwall multiple times as it just would not stop raining! But eventually, we decided to just go for it and the sun agreed and came out in all its glory! The North Cornish coast was the perfect backdrop to capturing beautiful moments for this young… Keep Reading

Springtime Family Session in London

London family photography by Marianne Taylor.

It’s that time of year when I get to make frequent trips to London, both for weddings but also for sweet Family Sessions like these. I’ve photographed Marie & Jens a couple of times over the years, but this time was made super special by the addition of little Oscar. We had to do some serious… Keep Reading

London Southbank Family Session

London family photography by Marianne Taylor.

It was so much fun popping into London to meet up Sirpa & Timo (whose elopement I shot allll the way back in 2011!)  and spend some time documenting them on the South Bank with their son Sami. I love catching up with old clients and hearing about what’s happening in their lives. It also feels… Keep Reading

Cornwall family photography by Marianne Taylor. Click through to see more!

Lydia got in touch to arrange a Family Session, as she had managed to gather her whole family, who are spread over great distances, together in order to spend Christmas in Cornwall. On a slightly damp and grey day, we made full use of the beautiful garden outside their rented cottage and captured this special moment… Keep Reading

Sunset Family Session on Venice Beach

California Venice Beach family photography by Marianne Taylor click through to see more!

Salty waves, sandy toes, and wide smiles. While the days are getting chillier and chillier in the UK, going through pictures from last month’s sunset family session on Venice Beach in California certainly helped fill me with a warm glow! There’s something pretty magical about an ocean bathing in golden light, and it’s hard to… Keep Reading

London Family Portraits in the spring

Family portraits in springtime London. Click through to see more!

This London family session was a little bit different! With three generations attending, this was by far the largest group I’ve ever done a Together Session with. The shoot itself was a birthday present to Lida, the matriarch of the family, from her children. It was a rare occasion having all her family on the same… Keep Reading

The Magic of Cornwall - Windswept mother & daughter family shoot by the sea by Marianne Taylor. Click through to see more!

I can’t quite describe how happy my heart is about being able to do family shoots by the sea in Cornwall! This mother & daughter Together Session was rather windy, but that didn’t dampen the joy of spending time together by the beautiful coast of the Atlantic Ocean. This session shows you that there’s no… Keep Reading

Family photography in Richmond Park, London by Marianne Taylor.

Oh, my gosh how time flies! It really doesn’t feel like three years since Ling & David’s wedding at Hampton Court House, and yet, since then they’ve managed to live in Amsterdam for a few years before moving back to London with little Mia who’s now two years old. Crazy! It was so lovely getting… Keep Reading

It seems like only yesterday when we enjoyed the gloriously sunny streets of London with Kimmy & Tze for their engagement shoot, but it’s funny how time works, as enough of it has passed for little Jasper to have come along! It was so lovely to meet up again for a Family Together Session in London in… Keep Reading

Ah, London in the summer! One of my favourite things about London as a city has always been the fact that there is so much greenery everywhere, and for this Family Together Session with Caitlin, Ee Yung and little Marcus we certainly made the most of the green spaces South London has to offer. I had such… Keep Reading

The Magic of Cornwall: family fun in the sun

June 22, 2015 · 1 Comment

Unfortunately a family photo shoot is too often a stressful dreaded date on the annual calendar, involving uncomfortable Sunday best clothes and awkward poses. But it doesn’t have to be! I’ve rather fallen in love with relaxed Family Together Sessions, and can’t wait to start doing more down in Cornwall. Wouldn’t you rather capture moments together while on… Keep Reading

It seems like forever ago when I first met Jing and Roger for a Together Session in honour of their first wedding anniversary! How time flies! Jing and Roger are now proud parents to adorable Alexandra, so they wanted to get together again, this time for a Family Together Session. I so enjoyed spending time with these three… Keep Reading

Family Beloved Together Photography in Bushy Park London by Marianne Taylor.

I was over the moon to finally find some proper blossoms for this Family Together Session. It was so good to see Hannah and Brendan again, and to meet the adorable little Miles. The wind might have been a little bit brisk, but we still had a lovely time with lots of giggles. The thing I enjoy most about… Keep Reading

I first met Rachael and Dan four years ago at their London engagement session. I can’t quite believe how the years have flown by! It was such a pleasure to get together again, this time for a Family Together Session in Bushy Park, with the addition of the adorable Noah. We tried not to let… Keep Reading
