Penarth Child Photography { sweet light }

It struck me last weekend that there are so many fantastic locations in South Wales; many right on your doorstep that you can so easily take for granted. I live in Penarth with it's fantastic pebbly beach and the wonderful Victorian pier - how often do I visit it? Not as often as I should.

My weekend sessions put pay to that as I took an early morning paddle (quite literally) with a fab toddler who was just so amazed by the littlest things (WOW! was the word of the morning). The light is so wonderful at this time of the day and we had the beach and the pier to ourselves. He took off his shoes and just had a good old run around as I followed with my camera in tow, feeding bread to the fish and throwing pebbles in the sea.



Much later the same day, I ventured over to the other side of Penarth for a session with a family that I first photographed about 18 months ago. We took a back road to Cosmeston Park which I had no idea existed. We passed farms and fields as the children pointed out their favourite bridges, benches and farm animals (dad had a keen eye on one goose in particular!). Again, late in the day is fantastic for soft, sweet low light - if your kids are happy to venture out early evening then I really recommend it.



Thanks to both families for great sessions. I look forward to showing you both the full results from your sessions this weekend.
