Capturing the transitory moments of family life, dozens of little family portraits, at home (in your natural habitat) and putting them together, to make a bigger picture.

Documentary Family Photography - Between Lockdowns in Dorset

“ I remember more about what they say, rather than what they’ve done… I suppose that’s why the photographs are so important to me.”

Why Documentary Family Photography? The most significant family pictures are the most unguarded ones - the important ones always seem to be made in the smaller, quieter moments.

It's unlikely that Izzy will be able to remember these specific moments with her Grandad when she's much, much older. But she will have these. How it was with her Grandad back then. How upset she used to get when he left for work, looking at the paper with him, feeding 'the babies' with him, how he loves her and the connection they had. And she can show them to her children too. And that's the nature of documentary family photography. It's a legacy, of sorts.
