{Lifestyle} Seonaid & Family

A few weeks ago I went to in Abbey Park in Evesham again to photograph Seonaid and her family. Seonaid put in the winning bid, for a shoot and framed print, at an auction at a barn dance put on by our local Pre-School back in the summer.

We have been trying to schedule this shoot for a few months and finally managed to get everybody together just in time for the fantastic autumnal colour display this year.

Seonaid wanted mostly photographs of all the grand children and a couple of group shots with all of them.

We played, kicked, threw and piled the leaves up high (although they were just a tad wet and muddy ;-) ), and although there were a few shy and grumpy moments, they were really pleased with the results.

Here are just a few of my favourites, because with so many children it was really difficult to choose!










And YES, this photo is the right way up, it was Daddy that was dangling her from behind the tree!

{Portraits} Alfie - 1 year on

This time last year I did some portraits of Alfie at his home in Tyler's Green. His mum won the shoot on a Charity Raffle that I sponsored, and you can see the images from that shoot here.

I was really pleased to receive a phone call from Alfie's Mum a few weeks ago asking if I could do a follow up shoot of Alfie. She wanted to give the images to the Grandparents as Christmas presents again, and we agreed that my Xmas Mini Shoot offer was probably just what she was after.

So about 2 weeks ago I went down to Beaconsfield to go and meet up with Alfie and his mum and I was amazed to see how the toddler Alfie has now turned into a proper little boy!

It was pretty miserable and damp outside and we didn't venture very far from the house. We played with a Air-Rocket thingie, and that ensured plenty of giggles from us all.

It was really nice to see Alfie again, and who knows I might be seeing him again this time next year ;-)

Here are a few images from the shoot...

My little Alyssa is FIVE!

It feels like yesterday that I came home from hospital with my little Munchkin - my first born, and here I am at the end of the day of your fifth birthday. It seems surreal!

I love that you are so confident and self assured, and I love that you absorb everything around you like a sponge. You amaze me everytime with your fantastic imagination, even though Mamma doesn't always have the time to "pretend" with you.

You are a fantastic big sister that looks after, and plays so well with "The Chunky Boy", and he absolutely adores you for it!

You are throwing yourself into the new challenges that Big School brings, and after our first parent's evening this week, even your teacher says that she expects great things from you!

Mamma is SOOOO VERY PROUD of the big girl you are becoming, and I hope that Life will give you everything that you deserve

Sometimes it makes me just a little bit tearful to think that 5 years worth of moments have gone that we will never have again, but then I think about everything that lies ahead (and it won't all be smooth), and I can't wait to share those future moments with you.

So a HUGE Happy Birthday to my Angel, and Mamma wishes you all the good things in life and the knowledge that me, Pappa & Ryan loves you very much!

{Lifestyle} Mullen Family Shoot

Just after half term I had the pleasure to photograph Lily and William in a local park. I already knew Lily and William from school, as Lily is in my daughter's reception class, so there was no need to spend some time getting to know each other before the shoot.

(They were the first of the many families to take me up on my Xmas Mini Shoot Promotion - See here.)

I felt the autumn colours this year was absolutely spectacular (or is that just because I now live "UP NORF"?), and I wanted to use this as part of the backdrop for this shoot. We ran races, threw leaves and even covered William under a big pile of leaves at some point. I never thought you could make a "leaf angel"!

After the park we wandered over to the Abbey where I used the stone walls to give a different feel and texture to the images. I even got Mum and Dad to lie down on the slightly damp grass and the kids piled on top.

I loved photographing these two lovely children, and I had a hard time choosing my favourite images from the shoot.
So have a look and leave me a comment to tell me what you think!

{Promotion} Christmas Mini-Shoot

I have recently anounced a mini-shoot promotion just in time for getting some fabulous photographs as Christmas Presents. The reason it is labelled as a mini-shoot is that I only spend 1 hour with the clients (instead of my usual 2-3) and in this period there is then obviously not enough time to do outfit changes, or multiple locations.

This shoot is exceptionally good value at £50**, and it even includes a 3 copies of the same image - ideal for both sets of Grandparents ;-)

The uptake on this offer has really blown my highest expectations right out of the water, which in turn means that I am now working all hours just to try and keep ahead.

That said, there is still just over 3 weeks left for fitting in a shoot with a guaranteed turn around for a Christmas delivery.

So, if you or anybody that you know don't know what to get the Grandparents for Christmas, give me a call on 07780 558804 to book in your session before it is too late!

** within 20 mile radius of Evesham, otherwise a small travel fee will be added ;-)
