Hello, my people!
How are we all doing?
I don't know about you, but summer's seriously got me beat!
On one hand, hasn't the weather been epic in Aberdeen (for a day or two - but we'll take it!) and isn't it lovely to see the restrictions in Scotland melting away?...
But on the other hand, I'm suffering from a serious case of over-planning and underestimating - where I had so many things on my mental To Do list over the summer and almost forgetting how busy these few weeks/months get.
With everything that has been going on, I haven't had a chance to share some very beautiful family photo sessions I’ve had the absolute honor of photographing in the recent months!
As lockdown restrictions in Scotland started easing, I noticed a bit of trend in people enquiring about FAMILY sessions - ‘erm, you’re a FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER, Iana!’ - some of you may think, but what I mean by this, is somehow EXTRA 'family'. Things like gift vouchers - to gift to grandparents and siblings, extended family shoots and in-home sessions.
I am honestly seeing so much more conversation about documenting things just as they are right now and appreciating the time, the places and the people that are around us, making our lives as special and beautiful as they are.
Have you been thinking about having your family photographs taken and want to know how I can help?
So the family session I will share with you today was a first birthday celebration shoot, taking place in a lovely countryside home of this family, just south of Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire.
Jenna reached out to me to ask me to photograph them in their home and garden - as a way of marking one of their daughters turning that special age of one and it was my absolute pleasure meeting this wonderful family.
From start to finish, providing the service to them was just pure joy and pleasure and I truly hope to work with them again - thank you for having me create such special keepsakes of your little ladies and you!
How gorgeous are these?
I love to ask: what are you gifting your child for their 18th Birthday? How about a photo album from a family shoot when they were a child?
So if you’re looking for a family photographer to photograph you and your favourite people in and around Aberdeen - I would love to help!
And while we’re on the subject, one HUGE part of investing in family photography is ensuring that they don't just forever live on a USB - precisely what my friend Michele - Professional Photographer in Minneapolis - talks about!
Hey, I'm Iana - lifestyle portrait family photographer in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Angus.
Honest and fun is my jam - I love telling the story of your family - just as you are right now in a fun way. If you are looking for family photography to create memories that you will treasure for a lifetime - let's talk!
I am currently booking Autumn 2021 and only have limited availability for the prime golden settings in October, so please get in touch now if this is something on your Ultimate To Do list!
Oh I love the idea of giving your child an album of photos from when they were a kid for their 18th birthday!
