The Morris family live just a couple of houses away here in Winchester and I was delighted when they asked me to take photos of little Pierce who is just a few months old. A very proud mum and dad are enjoying the experience of bringing up the little guy and their beautiful brittany spaniel, who is certainly (as all dogs are) an important part of their lives was on hand. It looks like Pierce and our own Oliver will be playing together before too long!

It is such a great idea to not only get a family portrait, but also get a record of the goings on in your house during that special first year of your child's life. Although life can be a little hectic, there's no extra time required to have a documentary photo session; I just turn up when a nap is finished, document with candid photography for an hour, then take a family portrait at the end of the session.
