Autumn with the Richards Family

I love any excuse to get out into the beautiful golden light at this time of year, it’s my absolute favourite to work in (as with many photographers!).
I’d been planning a shoot with the Richards family for about a year, and we kept having to postpone due to covid, sickness and logistics - but we finally got there, and I’m so happy that they were keen to pop out to one of my favourite shooting spots near my home on the Otago Peninsula.
It’s full of long grass, beautiful light, and amazing views (unless the fog rolls in like it did halfway though our shoot…. which always adds to the challenge!).
Photographing the chaos of family life is pretty much my favourite thing to do - it’s no problem if your kids run wild and refuse to sit still - that all adds to the feels of the photos!
Sometimes, those crazy, cuddles or tears shots end up being the actual treasures.
Thank you, Tash and family for permission to share these beautiful memories ♥️
