Adventure Family Photography in North Wales
We were born to be, wild and free.
Adventure Family Sessions are perfect for outdoorsy families who’d like to capture memories of spending quality time together in nature doing the things they love doing. Whether that’s going on a mini hike on your holiday in Wales, playing games on the beach or sharing a fun family picnic in a beautifully scenic spot for those genuine and unscripted moments that make family photographs an heirloom you’ll all treasure forever.
Why adventure family shoots are the best kind of family photos
My kind of family photos are all about capturing those real, unscripted moments that make life feel a little more magical. There’s something incredibly special about turning a photo session into an adventure, especially when it takes place somewhere wild and new.
Little ones thrive on adventure – give them the space to run, climb, explore, and just be themselves, and you’ll end up with joyful, natural photos that truly reflect who they are.
Still on the fence about taking the whole fam on an adventure shoot? Here’s why I absolutely recommend it for families who love spending quality time together in a beautiful setting:
No stiff posing – just real, beautiful moments – forget forcing smiles! When kids are having fun, magic happens naturally.
A chance to explore somewhere new – whether it’s a hidden beach, a mountain trail, or a peaceful forest, these sessions feel more like a day out together than a typical photo shoot.
Memories over “perfect” photos – the best family photos aren’t about perfection – they’re about capturing connection, laughter, and little moments you’ll treasure forever.
If your idea of the perfect family photos involves windswept hair, big belly laughs, and shoes probably getting a little muddy – an adventure family shoot might just be your thing!

How it works and how to book your North Wales Family Adventure Photographer
What happens after I send an enquiry?
I am primarily a North Wales Wedding Photographer and often busy at weekends, especially during wedding season. There’s always time for cute little ones during the week or on a Sunday though! When I receive your enquiry I will first check my diary for availability and if I’m free we’ll agree on a date and time next. I’m happy to suggest some of my favourite locations for your family adventure photoshoot but feel free to tell me all about yours, too!
I worry about my child(ren) running wild…
No need to worry – I like them like that! ;) Most of my clients love the great outdoors and I wouldn’t expect the next generation of adventurers to sit still for hours on end posing for boring uber styled pictures! I’m more than happy for your kiddos to do what they got to do – makes for really natural photographs and relaxed parents. Think of it like taking the whole family on a mini adventure!
How many pictures will we get and when?
Every session/location/family is different and so it’s difficult to predict how many photographs you will receive. I do not include so-called *filler* images in your gallery just to make up numbers and I always aim to deliver 10 – 15 images for you to choose from.
I will share 1-3 teasers from the session with you on the day or the day after and you will receive all of your images in a secure online gallery within 14-21 days after the photography session.
What if it rains?
I always suggest shooting around sunset time as it’s the best light there is! This isn’t always practical though (I get that babies and toddlers are often already in bed, especially in summer) and so I’m happy to shoot in any weather, as long as you are. I do draw the line at strong winds & heavy rain though – nobody would enjoy that! If the forecast isn’t looking promising then I’ll happily postpone your family photography session in North Wales. I ONLY shoot outdoors though.
When do we need to pay
Session fees are due in full BEFORE the date agreed for your North Wales Family Photography session. This is to avoid no-shows (it happens, unfortunately).
Current package price is £395 with a link to a digital online gallery.
Do we need to dress up?
Entirely up to you. Think about what type of pictures you are expecting from your session and what you’d like to do with them. If you’re thinking of putting them on a wall – coordinating your outfits probably wouldn’t be a bad idea. Have a little read of What to wear for your family photography session – I’m happy to help you figure out what would work best for you though so feel free to get in touch before your family photography session in North Wales and we’ll have a chat!
