Grandma Matthews Turns 70!

This really was a family affair! With 4 generations there were brothers, sisters, Mums, Dads, uncles, aunties, husbands, wives and of course Grandma! 

I met Cate professionally a few months ago, she runs a private Orthodontic practice in Cheltenham. On this occasion, she asked me along to take some photos of her family celebrating her Mum's 70th birthday. Like most families, it was a struggle to find a date that they were all free but they found one, and even chose a sunny day!

We started the 30 minute photo session with some formal family shots, at the request of Cate. The last 20 minutes or so were spent with the children generally causing mayhem, being silly and throwing on every single piece of fancy dress they could find in Cate's vast dressing up box, (I had fancy dress envy!)

I hope you enjoy the photos. The full collection can be viewed using this link: http://www.mouseabouttown.co.uk/a-70th-get-together

Crickley Hill Family Photo Shoot, Cheltenham

It's been a busy few weeks. Work aside, we've been celebrating Master Mouse's 4th Birthday, which was great fun! Our planned picnic in The Park campus was rained off and was instead celebrated upstairs in The Exmouth, (not that the parents complained with the bar so very close!)

There's also been the big school debacle! Our little Mouse starts school this September, we didn't get our first choice and so Mrs Mouse, (me!) has been working round the clock drafting an appeal case. 

Family life aside, here's one of my shoots from a couple of weeks ago that took place on Crickley Hill. I've been wanting to do a photo shoot up there for ages, so couldn't wait to meet Rachel and her family. It was a Friday evening and the light was beautiful. Here's a snippet. The full collection can be found here.


Park Shoot @ Cirencester Park

A Spring In Your Step

Last Saturday I met Tara and her family in Pittville Park, Cheltenham, for one of my popular half hour park photo shoots. Despite one of her little boys being very poorly, a chocolate ice cream soon had him smiling.

The playground was heaving, so I suggested we take a stroll down towards the ice cream shop where beautiful crocuses were dazzling a spectacular display.

Family photo shoots from August

I've been so busy in August photographing weddings, (see www.gillthomas.co.uk), the other side to my photography business, that this is the first opportunity I've had to post a few of my very latest family park photography sessions that have taken place over the last couple of weeks.

I love being a family portrait photographer, it's such great fun. All my park photography sessions take place in one of the many beautiful parks in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and the kids, (big kids included!) are always in fits of giggles! 

Get in touch if you're interested in having some professional photos done. All my work is on location and is always carried out in a really fun and relaxed way. 

All of the photos below were shot in Pittville Park.

Lilliput Concert Photography

Here's a shot from yesterday's Lilliput's Concert that was held in St Andrew's Church in Montpellier, Cheltenham. This classical concert for babies, children (and the big kids among us!) was a delight to photograph. Keep checking the website for the full collection to follow!

Raspberry Ripple

Mouse About Town had great fun this morning, rummaging through the raspberry bushes, tucked away in a secret spot in Grandad's garden. A wonderful hour was spent filling our bowls as full as we could with big, red, juicy berries, (and yes, one or two might have slipped into our mouths by accident!)

We took our haul into the kitchen and made delicious raspberry and banana smoothies, as fresh as the moment they were picked!

Below is the tale of our morning. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

 



Family Photography, Cheltenham

Last Sunday I enjoyed another fun, family photography session with Annika, Huia and their two adorable girls - Mika and Taylor, plus their two gorgeous new additions to the family - 5 month old twins, Noah and Harrison.

I had great fun playing peek-a-boo with Mika and Taylor behind the magnificent trees in Pittville Park, Cheltenham. After starting the session with some yummy ice-creams, I chased the girls through the park and down to the lake where we took some time out to feed the ducks. Normal play resumed quickly as we made our way to the playground for some serious swing time.

Below are a few of the snaps from the session. Click here to view the full collection.
