There’s nothing quite like capturing portraits in a place that holds deep, personal significance for the family. Recently, I had the joy of photographing a beautiful family in a woodland setting that was not only breathtakingly gorgeous but also incredibly meaningful to them, their little girl always keen on discovering the wonders of nature. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love photography. There’s an authenticity that comes from photographing those you know so well. Their laughter, their unspoken gestures, the way they look at each other—it all feels effortless, like I’m capturing a slice of real life rather than a staged moment.
