Meet the beautiful Miller family, winners of the Family Photoshoot Giveaway - based in Gloucestershire. I was so excited when I found out that the timing was perfect and that Amber was pregnant with her second child! So we patiently waited until her newborn had arrived and honestly, I’m obsessed with these images!
So many people stress that their home isn’t “photo ready.” That the walls aren’t perfect, the floors aren’t finished, or there’s just too much chaos. But let these photos be the proof that none of that matters.
The Millers are right slap bang in the middle of transforming their family home. When it’s finished, it’s going to be absolutely stunning. But right now? They’re living with the bones of their vision - bare plaster, inherited wallpaper, and unfinished details. But none of that takes away from the love that fills their space. In fact, it’s a reminder that life doesn’t wait for perfection.
Because that’s what truly makes a home. When you look at these photos, you don’t see paint colours or Pinterest-worthy corners (although, side note—their downstairs WC is gorgeous!). You see warmth, joy, and love—the giggles, their devoted family cat vying for attention, the sleepy-eyed cuddles on the sofa. You see the moments that make life so rich: the yawns, the teeny tiny hands and feet, and the way they lean into each other when they think no one’s watching. These are the everyday moments that matter most.
So if you’ve been putting off capturing your family just because your house isn’t “perfect,” please don’t. These moments are happening now. And trust me, when you look back, you won’t care what the walls looked like - you’ll just be grateful you have these memories to hold onto.
