A gift of family photography !

This lovely family in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire were given a great gift – a voucher towards family photography. It was given by their friends, as a present for lending them a holiday home. What a thoughtful, personal, present!

They were very easy to photograph and great fun to be with. We started at their home – one of the photos is of the children peeking over a sofa.  We then went to a local gardens. They hadn’t been to this beautiful location before, so they had a great time exploring and playing. There are lots of nook and crannies, interesting architecture with colours that compliment skin tones, bridges over rivers as well as all the trees and varied plants. It’s important to have a big enough space to let children run and feel free, while being perfectly safe. Sometimes I can see their spirits soar as they explore and the freedom overcomes them.

I asked the children to play Chinese whispers by the door in the photos, which makes a lovely little story when a few images are combined, and brings out some of the characters of the children.

The photos are now on proud display in modern metal displays around their home.
