As some of you may know, I’ve been getting into photography for almost a year now, prompted by my purchase of a semi-serious camera to take photos of Saskia. The problem with this of course is that, as the family photographer, I’m not in many of the photos.
So a few weeks ago we decided to get some family photos done by a professional photographer. Rather than go for studio shots, we thought we’d go ‘on location’ and head to Whitstable beach for our shoot.
The idea was also to get the shoot done before I started looking ragged on chemotherapy – at the time we thought I was going to be on a more caustic drug with more side effects. As it turned out I went onto the better tolerated drug, so should retain my exquisite good looks.
Anyhow, I thought I’d attach a few of our favourites to the blog, so here they are…
If anyone wants to see the rest of the photos from the shoot, or is interested in prints, let me know and I will forward the relevant details.
Thanks to Emma at White Light Photography.

Loving the pictures, not got through all the words yet…always been more of a pictures man…just curious though on the first pic…Sallys arm looks rather long…and manly…is there something we should know!!!
Ps. The black and whites are awesome.
Beautiful pictures! Feels like we are right there with you! Wish we could be.
Thanks for sharing!
I agree with David the black and white ones are awesome!
Yes Dave, totally agree, Sal’s apparent hairy masculine arm is a bit scarey!! Fortunately on closer viewing Sal’s knuckles are just visible at the edge of her cardigan. Couldn’t have set it up better if the photographer had tried!. Ange x
Exquisite good looks from everyone! Thanks so much for sending.
They are beautiful pictures. Thanks so much for writing the blog.
Thinking of you xoxoxo Ron and Nancy
Beautiful shots, I love the one of you sitting in a row looking out to sea. I also thought your photos of Sas in the last post were really brilliant, totally capturing her beaming self. What a lovely lovely girl she is xx š
Exquisite looks intact for the whole family! Great idea (to have a professional take the snaps that is!). There’s a happy family!!! Great! x
Can I be different and say I love the last photo? Beautiful family picture x
