Last week I had my beautiful friends trust me to capture their family as a trio before they become a family for four in the coming weeks and these country backdrops warm my soul! We got up and watched the sunrise together, and had some fun finding pine cones and fallen down trees to sit on! Considering rain and clouds were predicted, what a stunning morning light it turned out to be!Photographing friends gives me an tiny bit more nerves than normal before a session - sometimes it can be so much easier because you're comfortable together, but sometimes (especially with children!) it can have the reverse effect. And then add to that the pressure to get it right for your nearest and dearest! I even made my husband look through the photos and give me honest feedback on if he thought I'd captured them for who they really are!And now the gallery is complete and my nerves have faded as I am in love with the images and cant wait to watch their family grow![gallery ids="373,369,367,368,372,370,371" type="rectangular"]
