WHATS HAPPENING?

I’ll be running beach mini shoots for families at Jackson’s Bay beach. Let’s create some relaxed family portraits on one of South Wales’ most beautiful beaches! 

WHERE?

Jackson’s Bay beach, Barry, Vale of Glamorgan – a 20 minute drive from Cardiff.

WHY JACKSON’S BAY?

Whether you’re a local to the area or making a special trip down, Jackson’s Bay is the beautiful, much loved but lesser known sandy beach, right round the corner from the famous Barry Island. Jackson’s Bay is the perfect spot for a paddle in the quiet, secluded sandy cove close to Cardiff. With its beautiful red alabaster cliffs, topped with greenery Jackson’s Bay is the perfect spot for capturing some family fun surrounded by Glamorgan’s outstanding natural landscape with views over Bristol Channel.

 

THE WILD CHILD OPTION:

If it’s a warm day & you’d like to paddle in the sea, I have waterproof housing to get in with you. I also offer a marshmallow toasting experience with campfire. If you’d like to do both you will need to book in ‘The Full Shoot’ (detailed in the link below) to give us enough time to enjoy both!
