The desert has to be one of my favourite places to photograph young families in Dubai, I love exploring the dunes with them. We always have great fun. However, like any location you can be faced with challenges and on this occasion it was the wind. I was worried when I arrive at the location, it was a blustery day to say the least but Joey and her gorgeous little family were troopers (in fact I don’t think Ewan stopped smiling for the whole shoot) and despite the fact we all left the shoot covered in a layer of sand there is something lovely and honest about their images. I adore them.

Meet Joey, Steve, Ewan and Xandrea x
