The Goldsmith Family

June 16, 2023 by gill thomas

Matthew booked me for a 60 minute shoot recently to capture a variety of photos of his family. They had hired a lake house for the weekend in the Cotswold Water Park to celebrate his Dad’s 70th birthday. I’ve done quite a few photo shoots at this location so am familiar with the layout, setting and where the nice spots are for photos. The grandchildren made a beeline for the play park but after that we took a walk around the grounds. As with all my photo shoots, I kept it very relaxed and informal. The emphasis was on having fun.

If you would like to book an on location shoot then please get in touch using my contact page or send an email to info@mouseabouttown.co.uk. Alternatively, give me a call on 07983 465414. I'd love to hear from you.

Lou contacted me recently as she wanted some professional photographs of her children and their cousins to give to her Dad on his birthday.

Lou and her sister, and their other halves, met me at Sudeley Castle, and together, we walked around to the adjacent field. This is such a great spot for photos, I take lots of my client’s there. The setting and the light always seem to produce some great images.

As was to be expected with three young boys, the 40 minute shoot was energetic and great fun! Lots of climbing trees, fences, parent’s shoulders, and whatever else they could find!

The Kendrick Family

Kylie booked me for a 40 minute photo shoot at her family home in Naunton, Gloucestershire, with her husband and two children, William and Maddie. The brief was to capture some up to date photos of the children, as well as some shots of the whole family.

Kylie warned me before we got started that the children might not corporate, however, I didn’t have any trouble getting them to smile. If children are unsure about the shoot, I find chatting to them about school, their interests etc helps to put them at ease and win them over. Below is a small selection of images from the thirty five the family received.

The Legler Family

Aubree contacted me to book a 60 minute shoot with her family - Jess, Anna, Simon, Scott and Monty the dog. We met at Daisybank car park and from there walked into the woods. It was a beautiful Autumnal day, and the family found plenty of leaves to throw at each other! The photos were a mix of family portraits combined with candid, natural shots. As with all my shoots, the mood was very relaxed and the emphasis was on having fun. Below are just a small selection of images from the 51 pictures they received.

Bluebells 2022

I last saw Amanda and her family back in May 2018, when her two children were a lot smaller - I couldn’t believe how much they had both grown up! To view the photos from that shoot, please click here.

We chose the bluebell woods again as it always makes a great spot for photos and the fields at the back add another element to what is already a glorious backdrop.

This time around the children’s grandparents joined us. The brief was a mix of informal family photos with more structured shots of individual family members with the children. As always, it was lots of fun and more like a play and a run around than a photo shoot. The kids always enjoy themselves, which is really satisfying for me, as a photographer.

In total, the family received 60 high resolution images, below is just a small selection of shots from their shoot.
