Effie & Georgina

Mary and her family were on holiday from America and wanted some family photos taken of their stay while in Cheltenham. Mary booked me for a 60 minute shoot, and it was a bit of a rollercoaster, more so than usual! The girls were great fun, but unfortunately one of them was recovering from a cold and had a continuous cough, which made it hard to get lovely, smiling photos. Saying that, I found a few opportunities and took them. The girls were at their happiest just fooling around and having fun, which I think really comes across in the photos. Below is just a small selection. To check out what their Mum thought of the photos, please jump over to my review page. Thanks!

Craig & Co.

I met up with Craig and his brother and sister in early December, for a very chilly but beautifully frosty 20 minute photo shoot. The photos were to be a Christmas present for their Mum. I had never met Craig before, but I did a photo shoot with his sister, Becky, back in September, after Craig had purchased a gift voucher for her birthday. To view the photos from that shoot click here. They had loved the photos so much that they booked me again for some more pictures, but this time of the adults.

The Hobbs Family

Marie contacted me recently because she wanted some up to date portraits of her daughter, Chloe. Her choice of location was Pittville Circus, where there was a gorgeous blossom tree. The brief was to focus mainly on photographing Chloe with a few family snaps.

This was the second time I have met this family. Five years ago we met in the same spot for another shoot. It was great to see them again, Chloe was so grown up and moving onto secondary school in September. Time flies! Below are a selection of images from the shoot.

Cece & Rufus

It was nice to be back outside and working again after a difficult few months of lockdown and uncertaintiy. Phoebe was given her 40 minute family photo shoot as a gift voucher last Christmas. As with all my gift vouchers, they don’t have an expiry date to them - with two little ones of my own, I know how fast time flies!

Cece and Rufus were great fun. Phoebe told me at the start that Rufus can be quite shy, but if he was, he certainly didn’t show it such was his enthusiasm to be in all the photos! His little sister Cece was also a delight to photograph. Much quieter but very content, and that hedgehog dress - so cute! It’s always a good sign the shoot has gone well when, at the end, the little ones ask if you can go back to their house for a play!

Post production on this shoot was a little more time consuming than usual. The jumper that Rufus wore, as gorgeous as it was and so fitting for Autumn, was covered in lots of tiny bobbles! Much time was spent in Photoshop removing the worst of them.
