Seth

Seth was such a sweetie. He took it all in his stride and was full of giggles and smiles. As always, there were moments of unrest but with a cuddle and a kiss from a Mum and a little bit of coaxing from me we got plenty of lovely photos capturing his cheeky and inquisitive character perfectly.

Below is just a small selection of images. As with all my 40 minute plus shoots, all pictures are included in the price. I think this particular family received twenty four images, all of which they were very pleased with.

Harry & Bee

It was lovely to meet Harry and his little sister Bee at Pittville Park a few weeks ago. Their Mum had booked me for a 40 minute session and was keen to try and get some nice photographs of Bee in particular. She explained that Bee is remarkably shy and very tricky to get pictures of.

I very quickly understood what she meant. Not one to be deterred I took things at a very slow pace for her, focusing on her big brother Harry a lot for the first twenty to twenty five minutes to help show her what I was doing and feel a little better about the shoot. I suggested that perhaps the playground might help to relax her and also distract her from me. Once she was in the swing she clearly started to enjoy herself a little more and was far less aware of me. This seemed to help a great deal and soon she was feeling brave enough to hold Harry’s hand and walk over to see the ducks, something she was very keen on. The ducks also proved a big hit and I got glimpses of a very gorgeous smile! Finally, a little bit of throwing in the air by Dad and she was in fits of giggles.

Below is just a small selection of the photos. As with all my 40 minute plus shoots, all pictures are included in the price. I think this particular family received over twenty images, all of which they were very pleased with.

Eliza & Ethan

Eliza and Ethan were really good fun to work with. They had great sense of humours and a real appetite to play. Perfect little subjects for some photos!

Their Mum had booked me for a 40 minute shoot at Pittville Park. Despite the rather chilly weather we all soon warmed up with plenty of play and a bit of chasing up and down the stepping stones!

Declan, Florence & Finley

These three little ones were wrapped up nice and warm for a chilly shoot over in Pittville Park a few weeks ago. The cold didn’t deter them though and with a bit of my usual peep-o from behind the lens we soon got a few smiles!

Beth

Just love this photo shoot with beautiful Beth. Her Mum, Laura, booked me for a 40 minute session in Pittville Park. It’s a location that always works really well for families. The children can roam and play at ease which means I can snap away in a fairly unobtrusive way.

Beth was a real sweetheart and so relaxed in front of the camera. With a little bit of peep-o from behind the lens, we got a lot of laughs and giggles - even from Mum and Dad! A super fun photo shoot.

Zoe & Mia

This 40 minute park shoot took place in the gorgeous Pittville Park. Sister’s, Zoe and Mia, loved my suggestion of heading over to the wildflower meadow where we spent most of our time. I snapped away as they enjoyed playing hide and seek, cuddles on the grass and picking the odd one or two little stems to throw in the air for impromptu games of catch. Such fun.

Ibo, Rex & Scarlett

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.

The Doheny Family

This very mini 20 minute park shoot is the first I've done of its type since changing my pricing structure a month ago. I know it doesn't sound as if it gives very much time to get any decent shots, but as you can see from the pictures below, 20 minutes is still sufficient for those on a very tight budget, (just £50). And that's what I'm all about - catering for all budgets, making photography affordable and giving people lovely photos to cherish.

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!

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!

Oliver

Our photo shoot at Pilley Bridge had quite a sleepy start! He looks so snuggled and cosy though, doesn't he!

Sophie & Annabelle

These super sisters had so much fun playing on the old railway tracks at Pilley Bridge!

Oliver

I first met Oliver two years so when he came for a cake smash at my Cheltenham photography studio. It was great to catch up with him again and see how much he had changed! He was a real cheeky chap during the photo shoot and certainly kept Mum and Dad on their toes!

Leo & Charlotte

A few weeks ago I was in Pittville Park with six year old Leo, three year old Charlotte and their Nanny and Poppy. The children's grandparents were visiting the UK from France and their own daughter had bought them a gift voucher.

We had a super time splashing around in the poppies, which were simply stunning. The children in particular were delighted to wade through them! Here are just a few highlights and although I say ten digital images are included in the price of the shoot, you can see from the ones below that I often give plenty more.

Callum & Theodore

Last week I met Jessica and David and their two young sons, Callum and Theodore, at Pittville for one of my popular 30 minute park photo shoots.

The kids were in good spirits, Callum in particular was keen to show me his moves on the wooden adventure trail and Theodore, try as he might, just couldn't keep up! The brief was a mixture of informal family portraits and shots of the kids. As always the emphasis was on having fun and helping the kids to feel at ease and relaxed. I achieved this and they were thrilled with the photos.

Fred & Emma

This family was fun with a capital F! Despite their daughter, Emma, being very shy to start with, by the end she was bouncing around as much as her brother! 

The brief was to capture some nice family shots of the whole family and perhaps a few of just the kids by themselves. Pittville Park is simply stunning at this time of year; the colours really pop and cane make for some really striking photos.

We started the session on the Pump Rooms side of the park before heading through the tunnel to the Boat House side. The santa hats were pulled out pretty quickly and the kids in particular were keen to be photographed wearing them! 

We played lots of games, such as peeping out from behind trees, swinging from branches and generally messing around. The family were more than happy not to be directed, which always makes for better photos as they are far more natural. It was a fabulous shoot that I really enjoyed.

All my photo shoots are relaxed and informal. If you would like to book something similar then I'd love to hear from you. Either give me a call on 07983 465414 or get in touch using my contact page. Thanks!
