Harju Family: family & portrait session in Newquay

February 27, 2026 · Leave a Comment

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 and lifestyle photography, but lately I’ve been really missing work that feels more, well, human. So, I’m warming up this blog and seeing where it takes me.

The first time I met Sirpa and Timo, was all the way back in 2011 when I photographed their London elopement! Then, in 2017, they returned to London but now with their son, for a Southbank family session. That brings us back to the last time we got together, when the family travelled all the way from Finland for a session by the sea in Newquay. This was partly a portrait shoot in honour of Sirpa’s birthday, but I did get to capture the whole family together on some blustery cliffs as well.

After the session, I designed a book that included all three of their sessions from over the years. It really feels special to get to play a little part in people’s lives over so many years. It also makes you realise how fast years fly by!

Family Session by the sea in Cornwall

October 2, 2017 · 1 Comment

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 family, and I enjoyed every minute of our time together!

London Southbank Family Session

May 22, 2017 · 4 Comments

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 super special to get to capture new important moments for them to treasure in the form of a family session.

The weather might have been a bit drizzly and grey, but it sure didn’t dampen the smiles!

Wintery Family Session in Cornwall

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 in time. The weather might have a been a bit on the chilly side, but all the jokes and laughter made for a warm couple of hours spent together!

Sunset Family Session on Venice Beach

December 6, 2016 · 10 Comments

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 find a more perfect setting for family photography than a beach with plenty of room for everyone to run around. Pour a cuppa and join me in a little bit of California dreaming below!
