Long Family Portrait

Brought the white background out for these high-key shots.  Graham had contacted me just before Christmas for a voucher as a present for his wife Linda.  We did do a few shots outside in the garden, but we were loosing the light and the weather was turning for the worst.  So the background was set up and shots were taken inside.  Fun seemed to be had by all, even the kids enjoyed themselves, to say they do not like having their photograph taken.  One person who did seem to enjoy himself, was Graham.

Elizabeth Grace's Christening

Following on from my recent photo shoot with Elizabeth and Amy the other week.  I had the biggest pleasure in photographing Elizabeth's Christening last Sunday, at Hartshead Church where her Mum & Dad married almost 4 years to the day, in which I took the wedding photographs.  Elizabeth's Christening Gown, Bonnet & Bib were made from Amy's wedding dress and oh boy she look cute in it.  Elizabeth was very good and was extremely adorable as well, as her family all made a fuss of her on her special day.  Pity I was not allowed to take photographs of the actual christening as the vicar was on good form, as Amy, Matthew & Elizabeth acted as Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus, along with the congregation playing lambs, angels, shepherds and wise men, with the Vicar wearing a flat cap and brandishing a rake to "Clean the Stables out".  Afterwards it was up the the Black Horse Inn, where family group shots were taken, with plenty of mingling and children shots.  It was lovely afternoon and it was great to catch up with Amy & Matthew's family and friends again.

Turner Family Portrait

It was lovely to catch up with the Turner family last weekend.   I had photographed Felicity & Andrew's wedding nearly 5 years ago and we had kept in touch.  Several years ago I photographed Felicity's family portrait, along with their cats, so this time it was Andrew's family, as  Felicity had bought Andrew's mum a portrait voucher for mothers day. We had good fun and got some great shoots, along with some cheeky ones.  I know that they are very pleased with the results and excited in getting
