Lacey and Lola

November 08, 2021 by gill thomas

I last saw Lacey in 2018 when I photographed her in the Church where her Mum and Dad got married. Fast forward three years and she has grown up into quite the young lady! Click here to see the photos from that shoot.

This time around I met them at their home in Dowdeswell. From there we walked across the lane onto the village green. Mum and Dad were keen for a few photos with their recently planted trees, as well as pictures of their new puppy! The shoot lasted for 40 minutes and was the usual mix of informal, casual shots alongside some more posed family photos. Below are a sample of images from the session.

The Ellis Family

May 20, 2021 by gill thomas

I met Alison, Chris and their two children, Eligh and Ava, at a remote spot called Kites Nest Lane, just the other side of Gloucester. It’s not a location I had been to before, but they go walking there a lot with their dog, Rory, and were keen to capture the family in one of their favourite settings.

It was a rather drizzly morning, but the woods provided great shelter and the rain made some fantastic opportunities for a spot of puddle jumping! We tried to keep the shoot as natural as possible, encouraging the children to play instead of pose. The bluebells made a lovely backdrop too. Below is just a small selection of shots from their 60 minute shoot.

The Hannington's

September 25, 2020 by gill thomas

It was great to catch up with the Hannington family again. I last saw them in 2016 when Callum and Theodore were much younger - I couldn’t believe how much they’d grown! To view the photos from that shoot please click here.

We met in Pittville Park and much of the 40 minutes was spent running around after the boys as they played, climbed and generally had a great time! Some of my photo shoots are pretty energetic sessions and this one was right up there with the best of them!

Boys Will Be Boys!

September 18, 2020 by gill thomas

Earlier this month I was in Pittville Park with Christian Holland, his two boys and their Grandma for a 30 minute photo shoot. Christian had bought the shoot for his Mum as a birthday present. We had a lovely time clambering over the stepping stones, rambling up the rope ladders and swinging from trees. My photo shoots always feel more like a play date than work! The boys had a great time.

Christmas at The Apple Barn

January 10, 2020 by gill thomas

Tina booked me for an hour to capture some pictures of her family, who were celebrating her parent’s 50th Wedding Anniversary. The brief was to capture a selection of group shots of different family members. I chose a suitably, leafy backdrop, (and there weren’t that many areas to choose from.) The weather wasn’t ideal, so after 40 minutes or so outside, we headed inside for some pictures by the Christmas tree. Below are a selection of images.

Broadway Tower

December 18, 2019 by gill thomas

Last weekend I was at Broadway Tower for a photo shoot with Roger and his family. The shoot had been purchased as a gift voucher for him last Christmas. My vouchers don’t have expiry dates on them, meaning you can book your shoot in as and when it’s convenient.

It was a bitterly cold morning. The children, Edith and Harry, did remarkably well. Edith in particular found the cold conditions tough to take, so it was a case of grabbing my moments between the tears. Overall though it was another lovely, fun shoot with plenty of jumping around to keep warm!

Golden Wedding Anniversary

December 12, 2019 by gill thomas

Last weekend I was at Heythrop Park in Chipping Norton with a family celebrating their parent’s Golden Wedding Anniversary. The weather was so awful we were restricted to inside shots only. Luckily for us the interior was pretty stunning so it worked out well. It was a fairly relaxed and informal session, with plenty of group shots, as per the request of the family.

Woodchester Mansion

November 28, 2019 by gill thomas

I’ve never shot at Woodchester Mansion before, but I shall definitely be going back! I met Richard and his extended family in the car park, and we got a mini bus down to the mansion. The photo shoot had been purchased as a gift voucher for his Mum and Dad’s wedding anniversary. The shoot was an hour long and, after some formal family photos, we captured some more candid images of the children and adults.

Connie

October 18, 2019 by gill thomas

What a beautiful morning for a drive through the Cotswolds. The early morning mist was hanging over the fields and when I arrived at the family’s house, it was still lingering. The light was magical. It’s very rare to be able to shoot in such spectacular conditions.

This wonderful co-parenting family were a lot of fun, and little Connie was a super smiley little bundle of cuteness! The shoot took place in the 4 acre grounds surrounding the house, including mill pond and meandering stream. We made the most of the Autumn colour and Connie enjoyed a few outdoor outfit changes too! All very relaxed and informal, everyone was keen to get involved and be in the photos. Great stuff.

The Busby Family

October 11, 2019 by gill thomas

Elizabeth, Ross and their daughter, Caroline, were on holiday from America. They were staying in the Stow-on-the-Wold, which they chose as the location for their 30 minute photo shoot. Despite the rather damp conditions, little Caroline beamed away from under the umbrella! Her Mum and Dad were equally happy to get wet and have fun!

The Sword Family

September 23, 2019 by gill thomas

I was recently booked for a two hour photo shoot over in Charlton Kings for a 90th birthday. With eighty guests it felt more like a wedding reception! Now, I've done plenty of photo shoots in my time, and some pretty bonkers ones at that, but this was a first. I spent the majority of this shoot trying to avoid being run over by the little ones in their motorised vehicles! It was hilarious and immensely good fun.
