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!!

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 Foxhill Manor

Abi and her family hired the very beautiful Foxhill Manor for their Christmas. It was a real pleasure to come along and photograph her and her extended family for an hour or so in the gorgeous grounds.

As with all my photo shoots, the emphasis is always on helping the children, (and grown ups) to relax and enjoy themselves. Getting outside in the fresh air is a great way to do this. There was plenty of fun to be had on the giant swing and just enough time for some posed family group shots, at the request of my client.

Broadway Tower

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!

The Sword Family

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.

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.
