You know a family is beautiful when it takes a photographer as long as it did me to decide which images to use in a blog post! The Ehlers’ and I spent an energetic afternoon in the Newlands Forest, searching for fairies and negotiating photographs out of their two gorgeous children, in exchange for snacks and juices;) I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I love shooting weddings with all my heart, but having a family shoot in between is the best palate cleanser alive! In comparison with weddings where perfection is the aim of the day, the mindset to do a family shoot is that the perfection lies in the chaos and total and utter inability to plan young children:) I could not have enjoyed meeting these four honey’s more, and the smiles and cuddles and laughter at unplanned moments made my heart light and free. Thank you, Ehlers family, for sharing your energy and happiness with me for an afternoon and I hope these images will remind you of all the joyful moments that surround your family unit every day as it grows and evolves in the way that young family’s do! Happy Friday everyone! All my love, Claire xxx
