Creative Family Portrait Photography in a Dream House | An Hour in the Life of the Andrews
HOME is WHEREVER you ROAM
I absolutely adore family photoshoots. Even more so when they start off at home. For me a home is a representation of you, your family & your journey together all intertwined within bricks & mortar. On Sunday I finally got to meet Aga, Daniel, Florence, Iris & Timmi for a family shoot. In fact to call it simply a family shoot (I'm getting all Marks & Spencers here) would be an injustice. It was more like an idyllic dream house, plant laden, soulful, laughter filled exploration of five incredible humans & their bond.
Aga has been a follower/online friend for bloomin ages & Dan bought Aga a family portrait photography voucher back when lockdown started to hit & we finally found a date to unleash some awesomeness in Burton Latimer. Me & Paige drove down & were welcomed by one of the most spectacular dream houses I've ever seen. Hell their crib is legit straight outta some fancy pants styled shoot. With so many beautiful planty boys I thought David Attenborough was gonna creep out of a corner chasing a three toed sloth. LOVE YOU DAVE!
Never mind the house though jeez their kids were just awesome. Especially little Iris who no matter how many times she asked "WHAT'S HIS NAME?" never quite did remember. Right after spending time photographing these guys we were invited to stay for an amazing dinner. I had one glass of wine which is remarkably restrained for me & we bid farewell into the night.
Aga & Dan were genuinely some of the most magnificent humans we've ever had the fortune of spending time with. Even if you took away the crazy photogenic dream house adorned with Aga's own stunning photographic works. You would still be left with the warmest of fuzziest feelings. The kind of feeling you get when you step through the door out of a crisp, cold Autumn day.
Here's to the warmth of family. Here's to incredible new friends.

I've been having an absolute BLAST making portraits at my home on the Lincolnshire Coast recently. Since I first visited Sandilands I was so excited to do a shoot there. The eclectic beach huts are right up my street & I have to say they didn't disappoint. LOOK AT THE COLOURS SWOON! Check out this epic maternity shoot on the beach YES!
