Jersey photographer: a family photoshoot at home

A family photoshoot does not necessarily have to be out on location; your home can be perfect too. As a family photographer in Jersey in the Channel Islands, I’m always really happy when clients invite me to their homes as I know it means the images of the children and family will be playful and natural as everyone already feels relaxed in a familiar environment.

The lovely Howorth family had just found out that they were going to soon be moving from their home of 7 years when they booked a photoshoot with me. Their three boys had grown up there and the place was absolutely packed with memories for them, so they were keen to have a photoshoot that captured the boys just being themselves in their homely environment.

We were blessed with a warm summer’s evening for this photoshoot, and had planned to have a walk around the nearby lanes and church, before finishing up with some trampolining and a water-fight in their back garden. Mum and Dad had cleverly prepared a whole bowl filled with tempting coloured water balloons for the end of the photoshoot, so the boys were excited throughout!

With thanks to the Howorth’s for letting me share some of my favourites from their session. HOW gorgeous are their boys!?!
