NICK, SARAH & JENSON

Nick and Sarah wanted to have a photographic experience to celebrate a proud moment in their family — their son Jenson earning a place as a contracted player for Bristol City’s under-9 team. It’s a huge achievement, especially for a goalkeeper at his age, and they wanted to capture the pride and joy that comes with seeing his hard work pay off. For them, the session was about freezing this special time in their lives, before it races by, and creating something Jenson can look back on to remember where it all began.

The experience also helped them through the bittersweet feeling of change. Nick had coached Jenson’s grassroots team for years, spending every weekend together on the pitch. Signing with a professional club meant those father-and-son Saturdays came to an end, and while they were both incredibly proud, it was also a transition — one chapter closing as another began. The photographic experience gave them the chance to reconnect through something equally meaningful and to celebrate how far they’ve come together as a family.

Their story is one of love, pride, and watching a child grow into his own. Jenson’s confidence has blossomed — not just on the pitch, but in how he carries himself in everyday life. Sarah and Nick are amazed at his kindness, humour, and humility despite all his achievements. Seeing him in his football kit, full of energy and determination, is a reminder of how passion can shape a young person’s character and confidence.

Their finished artwork will take pride of place in their home, a daily reminder of Jenson’s spirit and the joy he brings to their lives. It’s not just a portrait of a boy in a football kit — it’s a story of family pride, teamwork, and the moments that make childhood unforgettable.

Having it displayed has given them a new perspective — a reminder to pause in the busyness of life, to celebrate their son’s achievements, and to feel immense gratitude for the journey they’re on together. Each time they look at the artwork, they’re reminded that while the weekends on the pitch may have changed, the bond they’ve built through those moments will last forever.
