Since the early days of shooting weddings, one of the things I’ve been asked most by my clients a year or two down the line is ‘would you please please do a family session for us?’. Over the years I’ve had to give out way too many heartbreaking no’s, purely because I was so busy with shooting weddings, and pursuing other business interests, that I simply didn’t have the hours to accommodate the requests. Nor could I with a clear conscience pick and choose and do sessions just for my ‘favourite’ clients (since you’re ALL my favourites!).
Over the past year I have done some serious re-evaluating of my business, my life and of how I spend my time, and one of the things I came to realise was that in order to have a little bit more flexibility in my life, I needed to take on fewer weddings. So I did some major re-arranging of my business(es), and as a result I am finally in a position where I am able to do more Together sessions, both for couples, but also for families.
The Family sessions I offer are very relaxed and informal. There’s very little formal posing involved, as I want to capture real interactions and authentic moments, that will create memories of who your family is right now.
If you’ve asked about family sessions before, and I’ve turned you down, I’m sorry, the timing just wasn’t right before. I do hope you’ll get in touch now and we can make things right! I’m so looking forward to spending special, fun times, with my former and brand new clients alike!
In the next few weeks I’ll be blogging a couple of the first sessions I’ve done, sneaks of which you can see here.
Hi Marianne, would you ever consider doing family photos including a dog? He’s a very local and cute dog!!

Hi Pru. Of course. In fact, if you look closely at the second image in this post, you’ll see little Wowzer peeking through the family’s legs. ;)
Beautiful family shots! I love the last on – her face is too cute!! x
I am so happy to hear this ! I have been lurking your blog for close to a year now but because you specified that you did very little together session we dropped the idea ! We also really wanted some “continuity” with our photographer and would have loved to not only have him/her document the engagement and the wedding but also the start of our family. Pfiou, so glad, my soon to be fiance only has to get in touch now !
