Happy Halloween ~ Family photography, Oulu, Finland

I love Halloween! I might be one of my favourite holidays.

As a family we have a few little traditions we always do at this time of year and one of the most fun has to be our annual pumpkin carving!

Forest fairies ~ Children's photography, Finland and Yorkshire

Seeing as we were heading into the 'wild' for the weekend it seemed appropriate to take along their fairy dresses and see if we couldn't manage a mini fairy photoshoot over the course of our trip.

Luckily for us the sun was shining, the girls weren't too blueberry stained and there were plenty of pretty places for photos.

So here are my little forest fairies enjoying the trees and the berries near Kuusamo at the weekend. <3

Garden Fairies - Children's photography, Oulu and Yorkshire

I've had an idea in my head for a themed photoshoot to do with the girls for months. It was born out of discovering old bridesmaids dresses in the wardrobe and having a glimmer of inspiration.

Two boxes of dye, some floral headbands and a trip to Scotland later...and I have taken what I think are some pretty gorgeous photos of my girls as fairies. They don't have wings and I was originally thinking of adding some digitally but I decided against it and I just love how they've turned out.

Eddie and Ellen - Family Photography, Oulu

Before we came to the UK for our summer trip I got to photograph two adorable little people to mark their birthdays, brother and sister Eddie and Ellen who turned 2 and 1 respectively. I was lucky enough to photograph Eddie's first birthday photos too - which was so much fun - and the pair of them as part of my Mummy and Me mini sessions so it's safe to say I was looking forward to this shoot rather a lot!

Pretty Ponies ~ Family photographer, Oulu

To say that today was a very exciting day in the Jackson household would be something of an understatement. Evie and Rosie were going to ride ponies for the first time!
