Styled family location session at Spittal beach, Berwick upon Tweed
A recent styled family session at Spittal Beach reminded me why this stretch of coast is one of my favourite backdrops in Berwick-upon-Tweed. The soft sand, gentle light and sea breeze add something truly timeless to family portraits.
These two beautiful girls completely melted my heart — their striking red hair and blue eyes stole the show. To let their features shine, we kept the styling simple and chose plain, natural backgrounds: the soft North Sea tones, pale sand, and the old blue-and-white 1930s beach shelter. Sometimes the simplest elements create the most striking portraits.
I love sessions like this because they combine personality, place and connection. When families relax and enjoy the moment, the photographs naturally reflect who they are — and that’s what makes them so special.
