Smith Family - Day out

December seems to be a busy time with portrait shoots - but usually indoors.  Last year Chloe bought a shoot as Christmas present for her family and the other day we met up at Shiden Hall to photograph the them.  We were a bit worried about what the weather would bring, as earlier in the week it had been very icy, with black ice on occasions.  Anyway it was a lot milder and quite pleasant when we all arrived, everybody were in their winter woollies and colourful outfits, which looked great.  As this was family shoot, with 7 people, it was better that it was done on location.  As we walked around the estate, we got some great shoots of the family, couples, individuals and Oliver. It was quite an enjoyable way to pass off the Sunday morning with a lovely walk in the countryside.
