Social distancing family photoshoots

We are living in unprecedented times due to coronavirus. Lots of businesses both large and small are struggling. The world as we know it has come to a dramatic standstill and we are all trying our best to adjust to the situations we are all faced with. We’ve been in lockdown 8 weeks now and it’s just been announced that this situation continue with a few changes; being able to go out to exercise more, going out to work if you can’t work from home and seeing people from outside your household as long as social distancing rules are maintained. What a strange world it is without the hugs from friends and family that we’re all so used to.

Initially I found the whole lockdown quite hard, being a mummy of a one and a three year old. I’m used to always feeling tired but this was a whole new level of exhaustion! I’m sure it’s as difficult for the girls as it is for me - their friends are my friends’ children and the regular playdates and meet-ups have been replaced with brief (and mainly manic) video calls. The positives have been slowing down and adjusting to the simple life - we’ve been baking, planting seeds and doing puzzles. Each day we’ve taken a long walk in Chipperfield woods. My one year old’s stamina has improved so much that she no longer needs the buggy. We’ve actually played with all the toys in their play room. We’ve spent so much time in the garden enjoying the fantastic weather. Truly quality time and I’m constantly reminding myself to make the most out of it. This enforced closeness won’t last forever and is truly a silver lining in the pandemic cloud.

I love to take my camera out on our walks and have found so many new locations for future children and family shoots. My daughters are my little models and I have been photographing them from a distance and the results have been lovely. That is one part of my business that I will be able to reopen, family social distancing photoshoots. Once the hairdressers have opened, lol.

So if you would like to book a family photoshoot with me get in touch. We can do the shoot in a lovely woodland environment, common, field or park. We are so lucky living on the Hertfordshire & Buckinghamshire border as there is so much choice. Some of the areas I cover are; Berkhamsted, Chesham, Amersham, Tring, Hemel Hempstead, Watford, Potters Bar, St Albans, Luton, Abbots Langley, Kings Langley, Bourne End, Gerrards Cross, Chandlers Cross, Bushey, Rickmansworth, Pinner, Redbourne, Harrow, Hatfield & Croxley Green.
