Capturing the bond between Siblings

My experience with sibling photography is extensive. Having 3 beautiful kids of my own, I know how hard it can be to get even a single photo of the three of them while they are full of energy. Me and my husband were lucky to capture so many and we adore these memories. It is so special to see them growing up together as brothers and sisters. We have sent many of these sibling photos to grandparents and family friends, and often see them in photoframes when we visit their houses. They are really such a special gift to not only us as parents but everyone else who is involved in our children’s lives. 

During a newborn, baby or family shoot I love to capture to get some great photos of the bond between siblings. The amazement at having a new member of the family is special for everyone. It’s amazing to memorialise siblings when they in the early days of getting to know  their new brother or sister. These small moments are monumental and to be able to look back on them is beyond special. Sometimes families bring a special teddy or piece of clothing, like a handmade beanie which has specific significance. 

My studio is the perfect location for natural professional style photos of siblings. There is space for parents to breastfeed and comfortably look after their older children during the session. After an initial session with me, many clients return after the birth a second or third baby. I really enjoy being a part of the journey and capturing the different stages in each families unique story of raising children.
