Turn Autumn’s Colours Into Something

That Will Keep You Warm All Winter

With an Autumn Family Photoshoot in Buckinghamshire

One moment you’re sipping iced coffee in the last of the summer sunshine and the next you’re pulling on your favourite jumper, kicking through leaves and wondering where the year has gone. Autumn arrives in a bang of colour. It doesn’t hang around for long, and neither do these years when your family are all together, happy to run, play and explore the woods. So why not make this autumn one you actually remember? Step outside, forget the to-do list for an hour and enjoy being together.


The best family photographs come from the things you’ll remember your children doing. Running through the woods, throwing leaves, climbing logs, finding conkers, racing each other down a path. Laughing together, playing, being happy. It’s about giving your family an hour to connect and enjoy being together while I capture the photographs along the way.

Find your dream location

I know the woods around High Wycombe and across Buckinghamshire. I know the places where the light falls beautifully through the trees and the children can explore without the session feeling like a photoshoot. You don’t need to know what to do in front of the camera. You just need to come ready to have some fun.


Imagine looking back at these photographs years from now. Your children with their muddy boots and rosy cheeks. Their warm hands wrapped around yours. The way they laughed when the leaves came flying. The things they did, the way they played and the chatracters they are at this age. Remember what it feals like to be together.


So, if you’ve been thinking about doing something special together, don’t wait until the leaves have fallen and Christmas is already on the horizon. Come and make the most of this glorious time together. Let the children run, let them get a little muddy and let me take care of the photographs.

How to style your autumn shoot 2026

Autumn gives you colour, atmosphere and beautiful light that you simply don’t get at any other time of year. Think cosy jumpers, favourite jeans, waxed jackets, boots and layers that goev you shape but you can move around in.  Fresh from London Fashion Week, this season’s colors are all about warm, earthy tones. Deep browns, rusty reds, and rich greens. Stay ahead of the trend by bringing these beautiful hues into your home with stunning images that will warm your heart for years to come.
