MOTHERHOOD FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER HERTFORDSHIRE

I don’t think I could put into words just how special this session was… but I’ll give it a go.

This is Jen & her son Jasper. Jen is the talented soul who designs & makes the gorgeous maternity gowns in my client wardrobe. We first connected on Instagram, I adored her creations & she loved my work… we would chat often about mothering, business, the endless juggling that goes hand in hand. Jen lives in the Lake District, we have never been, so of course we had to visit so I could finally meet this dear friend I had made. Jen told me about a place dear to her heart, she used to visit there often with her late grandparents when she was a young girl & wanted to take her son there. It was a peak in the beautiful Lake District, overlooking the rolling hills & magical sunset, at the top of the peak were small rocks where her grandparents ashes are scattered; a place where their souls can rest as they watch the sun setting.

At the bottom of the peak was a small lake, we spent some time there dipping our toes in before climbing up to the top, just in time for the golden sunset. Jasper was cosy in his backpack carrier, taking it all in his stride; something he’s so used to as they enjoy hiking the peaks as a family most weekends. When we got to the top, Jen threw on one of her beautiful creations, pulled Jasper in close & told him stories of his great-grandparents as they sat on their resting place. It was a very emotional evening, one I’ll cherish forever.
