Sarah and Jake

Sarah contacted me recently enquiring into the possibility of booking a short 20 minute photography session with herself and her boyfriend. She wanted some professional shots of the two of them. We met in Pittville Park on a gorgeous Autumn day. The light was stunning. With some subtle direction from me, we achieved some rather nice poses. Despite Jake not being overly confident in front of the camera, his shyness comes across as quite endearing.

Lacey and Lola

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 Moore Family

Rob got in touch with me back in July to enquire about booking a family photo shoot in September. I was relieved he wanted to do the shoot in September as I had to turn a fair bit of work down in July and August due to the imminent arrival of my new mini mouse - no one is ever quite sure if they’re going to be late or early or how the birth is going to go but, as this was my third, and the other two were both late, I was banking on him also being late. As it was he was born at the start of August and the birth was pretty good! I was back on my feet working within just a week or two. It has been great to be out and about again exploring all the corners of the Cotswolds!

Rob and his family had booked a cottage for the weekend over near Broadway. It was a large family affair and as with most occasions that involve multiple children and various four legged pets - pretty crazy! The children were great fun, although the youngest was a little tearful due to a late night the previous evening. Yet despite that, we still managed to get some lovely shots of him, much to the family’s amazement! If you head over to my review page you’ll be able to read their comments - they were ever so pleased with the results, if not a little surprised given the minor melt downs from their little people!!

Strawberry Fields Forever

Strawberry Banks, near Stroud, makes an idyllic backdrop for a photo shoot. It is home to various breeds of rare, native butterflies and in the Spring the long grasses climb up around children’s knees, tickling their legs, their laughs carried by the gentle breeze.

Luna and her Mum and Dad had travelled up from London. Bizarrely, they had come across me through my holiday let advertised on Air B and B. When they found out I was also a photographer they booked a session with me on the second day of their stay.

They wanted beautiful Cotswold scenery with rolling hills and fields full of flowers as a backdrop for their photo shoot so I suggested they might want to look at Strawberry Banks. They booked a 60 minute session and as luck would have it, it fell on what was the hottest day of the year so far.

Little Luna sparkled in the sunshine. Mesmerised by the ponies, she then delighted in rolling around the soft, lush glass with her giant teddy before blowing dandelion clocks with her Mum and Dad. There were plenty of cuddles and the long stems of the rape fields made the perfect setting for a little bit of peep-o. Below are a small selection of images from their shoot.

The Hannington's

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!

Erin

I recently organised a bumper day of back to back shoots at the Confetti Fields in Pershore, Worcestershire. It had been two years since I was last there but as always, the fields of delphiniums and sunflowers looked spectacular. I had eight shoots in total spread over the course of the day, which ran from 10am through to 5pm. Despite working under Covid-19 regulations, the day was great fun and a huge success. A big thank you to the organisers for making it safe and enjoyable for all those who visited.

Some of my families were previous clients, so it was great to see them again. I’m always amazed at how fast the children grow! It was also lovely to see some new faces and meet new families, including this little girl.

The Confetti Fields make a wonderful backdrop for photographs and offer something completely different from family to family. Some children wanted to spend the whole time playing hide and seek in the sunflowers, while others became lost in the curiosity of their own thoughts as they tickled the petals of the flowers.

Christmas at The Apple Barn

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.

Woodchester Mansion

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

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

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 Flynn Family

I was booked for this ninety minute photo shoot with Lorna and her extended family to celebrate her 70th birthday. The family had hired a house for the weekend and were enjoying some time together. I met them at the house before we headed out to a nice field, just around the corner. Ironically, it was the same field I was in just a month ago with another family!

Papa's 80th!

South Cerney Water Park always makes a great backdrop for photos, so it was great to be asked to cover this 80th birthday. The family wanted group shots on their balcony, which overlooked one of the lakes. Not much room for my natural, preferred style, but fun nonetheless. We took a short stroll along one of the footpaths to capture the large group photo of everyone, which was followed by further smaller groups of family members.

Oliver & William

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous family at Brizan park in Shurdington. I’d never shot at that location before, but knew of it and its fabulous play equipment, so had high hopes of some natural, candid shots. The two boys, Oliver and William, were really fun and enjoyed playing on the ropes and beams. Oliver loved showing off his almost walking and crawling skills too!

A Chip Off The Old Block!

Last Monday I headed over to Chipping Camden for a family photo shoot with Rachel and her extended family, who were celebrating their parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. They’d chosen to colour code themselves, which I always leave to my client’s discretion, and after quite a few posed family photos, opted for more informal shots of the children. It was a lovely, laid back and informal 90 minute shoot in a field full of hay bales, which made excellent props!

Beau and Matilda

Beau and Matilda’s Mum won this 20 minute photo shoot in a school raffle. She wasn’t keen on being in any of the photos herself, but rather, wanted up to date pictures of the children. We headed to Strawberry Banks, a beautiful spot near Stroud. We didn’t have to walk very far to capture some candid shots of the children playing and enjoying themselves.
