What a glorious afternoon we had for the Ryder family portrait! Jo approached me to do her (long awaited) family photos not just because they needed an update, but because her beloved mother and father-in-law were visiting from the UK and would soon be flying home. Jo loves Como and we worked together to include all her (and my) favourited bits of Como before we lost the light. I loved your chosen wardrobe for the shoot – you cant go wrong with combinations of classic white & blue. Stunning! Thanks for sharing this special moment for your family with me, it was an amazing shoot and you have some killer shots too!
