It’s always great when the Mum from a family photo session tells me how happy she is that the photos show the true personalities of her kids. That’s always the goal of any Barley Monks photography session, so it’s  a massive win for me when the family realises it when it happens.

When someone can look at a collection of photos and point out – oh that’s the cheeky one, or that one has a really close relationship with her brother etc – I feel like I’ve done my job.

This family was no exception. Their personalities really shine in these pics. If I were to sum up this family I would have to say laidback, fun and energetic. 

They definitely didn’t put it on for the camera in this family session at Fagan Park. When my wife saw these particular photos she came away with a real sense of the kids’ love for their Mum. And the easygoing nature on Sarah’s part interacting with the kids. They really moved her. In fact – she has demanded the same photos of our family! 

These are some of my faves from the session.
