The Smurthwaite Family

A few weeks ago I met Tina, her husband Colin, and their two children, Iris and Angus , at Sudely Castle, Winchcombe. We didn’t go into the grounds, but instead, strolled down a nearby footpath to a field behind the castle that the family knew well and had used a lot during Lockdown. It was a great spot and I’ll definitely be going back again soon with other families!

The shoot was an hour long and we were fortunate to have glorious sunshine, which although isn’t always a photographer’s dream light to work with, because the shadows can be quite hard, it has felt like a long Winter so we were all pleased to see it shining that morning!

The shoot was very informal with a mixture of family shots and portraits of the children. We let them free range and explore, an approach that often generates lovely, natural images of little ones. It was thoroughly enjoyable and I felt we captured some lovely moments. Below is a small selection.
