Sunset Session with Ellie, Cam, Lenny, Lacey & Josie
I first met Ellie when I was only a few weeks pregnant with Runo. She supported me through some of the most vulnerable moments of my pregnancy, and she was right there for Runo's birth — already carrying her own youngest little one, Josie.
To photograph her beautiful family now feels like such a full-circle moment.
Ellie is truly one of the kindest, warmest souls I know — the kind of person who makes you instantly feel safe and cared for. So stepping into her family's world for an afternoon and capturing Ellie immersed in her own motherhood was honestly such an honour.
Sessions with one child are usually pretty chilled.
Sessions with three?
A joyful kind of chaos — exactly what I love!
We had big belly laughs, wild races, sandy toes, seaweed hats, a bit of splashing… just the perfect recipe for the kind of photographs that I hope they will treasure as time goes on.
I’m so grateful I get to document families like theirs — families full of life, connection, and personality — especially when they hold such a special place in my heart.
Enjoy looking through the photos :)
