Connar and Francesca

May 12, 2018 by gill thomas

I photograph Connor and Francesca every year but my goodness what a difference a year makes!! They both looked so grown up compared to when I last saw them. Connor in particular had really come out of his shell and was flourishing into a wonderful cheeky little chap! Francesca was very keen to stay with Mum and yet with a little patience and my favourite game of peep-o from behind the camera, we did manage to help her feel a little more at ease and even got a few smiles too - something which is rather a challange according to Mum!

The Gift of Bluebells

May 08, 2018 by gill thomas

Anna's 60 minute photo shoot had been purchased for her at Christmas using one of my gift vouchers. As with all my gift vouchers, there is no expiry date to them so clients are free to cash them in whenever it's convenient. As it happens, Anna and her family got in touch a few months later and I recommended we do the shoot at Lassington Woods - the bluebell display there is magical and the family were keen to avoid the more popular parks of Cheltenham and Gloucester.

It was a big group so plenty of opportunities for some, relaxed, unposed pictures of everyone. If you would like to book something similar then please get in touch using my contact page or give me a call on 07983 465414. I'd love to hear from you! Thanks.

Jessica and Oliver

May 06, 2018 by gill thomas

This first weekend in May has been a really busy one with back to back bluebell shoots over Saturday and Sunday at Lassington Woods. It's one of the most beautiful and bountiful displays I've found in Gloucestershire. Chosen Hill is another good spot but I prefer this site as it's much flatter under foot and therefore much easier for families with small children.

This is the second shoot I've done with Jessica and Oliver and while Jessica was very happy to play among the bluebells, Oliver took a little more persuading, preferring to stay a little closer to Mum. Despite his hesitancy, I did manage to get some lovely photos of him and one shot in particular shot stands out for me - a chance encounter with a small propeller plane.
