Natalie and her family booked this 30 minute mini park shoot to celebrate her parent’s 40th wedding anniversary. The shoot actually ended up being 60 minutes as they were having so much fun and the children seemed very happy.

Pittville Park always makes for some fab photos. The colours are always so lush and there is plenty to get the kids involved.

Rory's Dad booked me at the last minute for a 60 minute park shoot. The brief was to capture some natural shots of Rory that he could print off and give as a gift to Rory's Mum for her birthday. It was a quick turn around: the photo shoot was last Sunday morning and by Sunday evening the photos were whizzing their way over to Rory's Dad. He was incredibly grateful for the fast track service and very, very pleased with the photos.

I've done so many photo shoots in Pittville Park recently it feels like I've spent half of June there! In all seriousness though, it is such a super place for family portraits I can understand why so many of my client's request it. Eve and her family were no different.

I've worked with Eve before when she ran her own local baby business in Cheltenham, so when she got in touch with me again to ask me to do her family pictures I was really looking forward to catching up with her to see how she was doing. Turns out life has been very busy. As well as starting a new venture with her husband, they've also had twin girls. All three daughters were full of energy and the two young ones just loved running off in different directions!! Always fun!!

Cousin Fun!

Jo booked me for this 30 minute mini park shoot off the back of another photo shoot I did for her in January on Crickley Hill. That particular shoot had been free as part of my giant January give away and she had been so pleased with the photos she booked me again. To view the photos from that photo shoot please click here. Once you're on the page just scroll down.

We met in Pittville Park with her husband, sister and their Mum. The brief was to focus on their Mum and the children with at least one picture of all the children together, individual portraits of each child, one picture of everyone together and whatever else I could get! It's amazing how much you can get done in just 30 minutes! Oliver, Arabella, Francis and Thomas had so much fun too, which is what it's all about.

Maisie & Jack

Yesterday I was over in Pittville Park for a 30 minute mini park shoot with Maisie and Jack. They were super fun, and as with all the little people I photograph, they had me running around after them for the duration of the photo shoot! It's always good fun though and by keeping things as natural as possible means the children can relax and enjoy themselves and are far less aware that they are having their photos taken.

Giant January Give Away!

February 09, 2018 by gill thomas

Every Wednesday throughout January I ran a series of free photo shoots that lots of you snapped up! I visited some beautiful locations in and around Cheltenham including Crickley Hill, Pilley Bridge Nature Reserve, the Honeybourne Line, Painswick Rococo Gardens and Pittville Park. Due to atrocious weather I was forced to reschedule the final day of photo shoots and in the end they were carried out over two days and were split between Pilley Bridge and Pittville.

I met some wonderful characters over the two days - lots of giggly children, parents, carers and some cute pooches too! We all had a super time taking in the winter sunshine and enjoying the main play area at Pittville on a very quiet day! Below are a few of my favourite pics.

Indie

What a character this little chap was! He just loved playing peep-o with me and was clearly enjoying the thrill of standing on his own two feet - quite literally, having just learned how to stand up holding on to things!

Robyn & Penny

Robyn's Mum told me that Penny the basset hound is Robyn's best friend and you could quiet clearly see how much she loves her pooch!

Edward

I had so much fun chasing this little dude around the playground. He loved whizzing down the slide and peeping at me through the window of the children's playground!
