The Wright Family

This 40 minute shoot in Pittville Park was terrific fun! This larger than life family had a real zest for being silly and messing around, which was a dream to photograph! There was a combination of formal family group photos, mixed in with lots of informal, relaxed ones.

The Tandy's

I met Hannah and her family last weekend at Pittville Park for some family photos. With drizzle in the air, the weather wasn’t at its best, but the Pump Rooms and bandstand provided some welcome cover.

We met at the Boathouse on the opposite side of the park to the Pump Rooms, where we tried to engage their little one in some games on the stepping stones and swings with Granny and Grandpa. It took him a little while to warm up to the idea, and having a two year old of my own, his parents had my full sympathy, as he threw himself on the floor in refusal to participate! Patience often wins the day though, and I have plenty of it. I suggested we walk over to the Pump Rooms which would offer a little bit more shelter. Mum and Dad took the opportunity to give him some snacks and by the time we reached the bandstand, he was all smiles and ready to go. Below are just a small selection of images that Hannah received.

Raphael

It was a delight to meet little Raphael. At only 4 months old, he was due to have surgery the week after our shoot. Although it took a while to soothe him, his doting Mum and Dad eventually rocked him to sleep and we were able to capture some very special, natural moments of this family together. Lucimone had brought several outfit changes, including several blankets and toys for Raphael. Below are a small selection of images from the 106 files the couple received.

Gerry O'Driscoll & Family

Gerry purchased his 40 minute park shoot as a gift voucher for his wife back in 2021. Unfortunately, due to Covid, he had struggled to find the time to book it in. None of my gift vouchers have expiry limits to them though, which clients really appreciate.

On this occasion we met in Pittville Park. The brief was a variety of relaxed, family group photographs. The weather was super sunny, which was lovely, but a little bright, so we used the trees for shading. Below are a small selection from the photos they received.

The Lawrence Family

Kerry was given her 30 minute photo shoot as a gift voucher a few years ago, luckily there is no expiry date to any of my vouchers so no rush to book them in. We met in Pittville Park on a lovely sunny, Sunday morning. It was still quiet, which made for some nice backgrounds. The boys were full of energy and as with so many of my family photo shoots with young children, was fast paced as I chased them around the park! I always try and make it feel more like a play than a photo shoot, which creates natural shots.
