Here is something rather beautiful and unusual. Portraits of the Ellis family along with their beloved chooks; Lady Penelope, Molly, Sandy, Candy, Cookie and Clover. A family portrait session like you’ve never seen before!<\/p>\n

I recently started a personal project which is really close to my heart – the Best Friends<\/em><\/strong> project. I am so fortunate to be able to do a job that I love, but as a professional photographer it’s important to keep that passion alive by shooting for yourself as well. Not because you have a brief, not because you are paying the bills, not even\u00a0because it’s your way of giving back which is lovely, but because it makes me very happy and enriches my entire working life.<\/p>\n

As an animal lover (and usually people), this project is just so worthwhile. \u00a0I could have spent some time chatting and loosening everyone up before taking their photograph, but what I got was an instant take\u00a0of\u00a0their real personalities.\u00a0\u00a0The images\u00a0demonstrate\u00a0the close bond\u00a0the family share with their chooks and also with each other. Looking\u00a0at them I realise that what animals do so well is unlock our deepest emotions, and enable us to experience\u00a0the purest of feelings – unconditional love. They\u00a0reflect\u00a0the very best parts within us. That’s super special.<\/p>\n

Thank you Ellis family for taking part in my project. I hope these images give you a chuckle, a smile, and lots of pleasure through the years. J x<\/p>\n
