Xander & Frank

Last time I saw Xander it was when I photographed him at his christening party, which was a good few years ago now. Two years on and his Mum, Charlotte, was keen for some up to date photos of him. Charlotte had also asked if it would be okay for her friend and her little boy, Frank, to join in too. I’m more than happy if clients want to include friends and family in their shoots. There’s never any extra cost and it’s always lots of fun. This shoot was no exception. Many of my shoots with young children often look and feel more like a play date than a photo shoot. I find this approach works really well as it’s far less intrusive on the little ones and their characters come across much better as a result.

Zac

Beth, Dan and Zac were given their photo shoot as a gift voucher from a relative last Christmas. None of my vouchers have expiry dates on them as I know how difficult it can be to find time with little ones in tow! The shoot was 60 minutes long and we met at Pittville Park, by the boat house. Pittville makes a great backdrop, especially on the other side of the road, away from the playground and pump rooms, where it’s quieter and more wooded. Little Zac enjoyed playing peep-o in the long grass and cuddles with Mum and Dad. He’d also just found his feet and was loving his new found freedom!

Agnus & Evie

Ruth was given her photo shoot as a gift voucher last Christmas. None of my vouchers have expiry dates so recipients don’t need to feel under pressure to book them in.

Agnus and Evie were delightful. We spent the majority of the shoot playing peep-o from behind trees, swinging on the swings, running up and down the stepping stones and hiding in the bushes among their beautiful Autumn colour.

Anne, Chris & Sam

Anne and Chris booked me for a twenty minute mini park shoot in Pittville. Their son, Sam, was off to university and they wanted some up to date family photos to mark the occassion. Not having had any professional photos taken of themselves since their wedding, they were a little uncomfortable at the thought of this photo shoot! I have a very easy going nature though, which helps when people are feeling a little uptight. Soon enough they were laughing and relaxing into things. They found the shoot very enjoyable.

Charlotte

I met Charlotte and her parents at the Boat House in Pittville Park last week. I always tend to suggest meeting on that side of the park, rather than at the Pump Rooms, as it’s much quieter and therefore better for those simple, natural shots with clear backgrounds free from people walking their dogs or runners!

Charlotte was super sweet to photograph, and spent the majority of the 30 minute shoot playing among the tall grasses and climbing up the stepping stones. We took things at a gentle pace and, as with all my photo shoots, I encouraged play and fun throughout.

Extra Special

This photo shoot provided me with a different challenge. The family are currently living apart - Dad and husband is based in the UK and his wife and children live in India. They were visiting for a few months and were due to return home the day after their photo shoot with me. The family wanted a special set of photographs they could keep and remember each other by while they live apart. It made it even more important to get some extra special snaps for them.

Adalin

Pittville Park is always very popular for on location family photo shoots. It has lots of space, beautiful backdrops and plenty of scope for some natural, candid shots.

I met Hannah and her husband at the Pump Rooms and from there we took a gentle stroll. Little Adalin just loved stamping her feet and so we all went along with that idea, which worked really well and plenty of smiles were to be had!

The Babbage Family

It feels like I’ve spent the last month constantly in Pittville Park so busy has it been with family photo shoots! It’s a great spot though - it never gets old. This particular family were after some up to date family photos and booked me for an hour to capture a mixture of formal group shots and natural, candid pictures. Here are some of the highlights.

The Martin Family

Pittville Park is an extremely popular location for many of my family photo shoots. Where possible, I keep to the quieter side where there is more space and less people. The gorgeous trees make for a beautiful, natural backdrop. This particular family were celebrating a special wedding anniversary and had travelled up from various parts of the country especially for the shoot. The children had much fun as I captured some candid shots, which we interspersed with formal family pictures.

The Hancocks

This photo shoot was performed back in the Autumn but I’ve only just been able to share it as the family were using the photos as a gift. Pittville Park is stunning in all seasons, but the Autumn colours are always spectacular. Much leaf throwing, climbing and cuddles were had during the 30 minute shoot. Here are some of the highlights.

The Davis Family

Emma contacted recently me to book a 60 minute session with her family in Pittville Park. It was a beautiful sunny morning and everyone had a lovely time as I guided then to different locations. The children in particular enjoyed climbing trees and hanging off the adventure play equipment. I like to keep my photos shoots informal and relaxed as I find it better captures people’s characters. Below are some highlights.
