✈️ Welcome to Yay Planes – A Family Adventure in the Skies (Well… Almost!)

We’re Yay Planes, a mother and son duo (plus a few special crew members) on a mission to explore the world of aviation – one RAF base, museum, and airport at a time.


At the heart of Yay Planes is James, our incredible 9-year-old (turning 10 in August!), who lives and breathes planes and supercars. James has ADHD, which gives him a unique gift – an uncanny ability to identify aircraft and vehicles with lightning speed. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and energy are what fuel this journey.


Leading the creative charge is Louise – professional photographer and founder of Hibbard Photography. Louise uses her photography skills to capture dynamic, wow-factor images of planes (and everything in between), while teaching James the ropes of photography and content creation along the way.


Joining the squad is:

👶 Leo, age 3 – our cheeky little co-pilot in training

🚗 Michael, aka Dad – the dependable driver, snack-bringer, and voice of reason

Together, we make up a plane-loving, photo-snapping, memory-making team.


📍Where You’ll Find Us

  • RAF bases
  • Civilian airports
  • Airshows and open days
  • Museums and hangars
  • Car shows (because James is just as obsessed with supercars!)

Every trip is an adventure. Every photo tells a story. And every moment is a chance to share James’s passion with the world.


📷 What We Share

  • Behind-the-scenes of our family adventures
  • Professional and in-progress photography from Louise and James
  • Encouragement for families navigating ADHD, passions, and creativity

💙 Why We Do It

Yay Planes is more than a hobby. It’s a celebration of James’s strengths, a space for family connection, and a journey into creativity and learning. Whether we’re chasing the roar of jet engines or editing photos on the go, we’re doing it together – and we’re bringing you along for the ride.
