As I’m currently browsing for a mirrorless camera I wanted to write a blog post about my current camera gear - as I found it incredibly useful to read about what’s inside other documentary family photographer’s camera bags when I started my own documentary family photography journey…

March is finally here, and although it’s still quite cold outside and the sea is still freezing, Spring is definitely in the air! The birds are singing, the days are getting longer and I’ve spotted the first daffodils in Hove Park. With warmer weather coming, I thought it would be good to list some ideas for outdoor locations that are perfect for those natural and unposed family photos…
