The Magic of Cornwall: family fun in the sun

June 22, 2015 · 1 Comment

Plan a family photography session in Cornwall. Click through for tips for places to stay and see!

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 a family weekend away to one of the most beautiful places the UK has to offer? Let me do your family shoot in a relaxed and fun atmosphere, and let’s make natural happy family memories to treasure together.

Things to Do

There’s so much to do for each member of the family. North Cornwall offers some brilliant family days out, including kite-surfing, cycling, rock pools and bird parks – read this article for some great ideas for the active family.  Don’t forget Newquay if you are looking for a surfing weekend, and lots to do in a trendy yet family friendly destination.
