Motherhood Mini Session at Half Moon Bay with Annie, Ben & Holly

There’s something so timeless about photographing motherhood. The quiet moments, the little hands held, and the joy found in simply being together. This recent motherhood mini session at Half Moon Bay was such a privilege for me to capture — not only because of the gorgeous backdrop and golden light, but because of the special bond I’ve built with this family over the years.

I first met David and Annie when I photographed their wedding, and later when their beautiful twins arrived for their newborn session. To be invited back time and again to document their journey as a family is the greatest compliment I could receive. Watching little ones grow, change, and develop their own personalities — while seeing parents embrace each new chapter — is exactly why I do what I do.

This session was filled with warmth and tenderness: sandy hands full of treasures, cosy cuddles against the early spring chill, and sweet nose-to-nose moments that speak louder than words. Half Moon Bay gave us the perfect natural backdrop, allowing the focus to stay on the connection and love between mother and child.
