Lichfield Family Photography Shoot - The Lingwoods

I spent a lovely couple of hours at Shugborough Hall on Sunday with Claire and James and their gorgeous boys.  Ben and Matthew had a great time exploring the gardens and playing with Mum and Dad.  I have posted a couple of images below, as a preview for Claire and James, but the rest are under wraps until they have been viewed by the family.

The image sizes are increased when you click on them - enjoy!

Alison & Ryan and Ayesha & Jamie

I took advantage of a recent visit by family members to have an impromptu 20 minute photoshoot.  Both couples featured below are at really exciting times in their lives.  Alison and Ryan are awaiting the imminent arrival of their first child and Ayesha and Jamie celebrated their engagement just a few months ago.  Although the shoot was unplanned I think that both couples look great and very much in love.  Thanks guys.

Isabella Florence

Isabella was a little diamond at her recent shoot.  Mum Kate wanted some images of Isabella at 19 weeks old to compliment those she had taken of elder daughter Ruby when she was the same age.  Isabella was full of smiles during our session and I even managed to get a couple of pictures of Kate and her husband Rob.

My gorgeous girls

I've just been sorting through some images and came across these two photographs of my beautiful girls.  They were taken earlier this year and they are among my favourite images of them.....

The Clayton Family

Last weekend I met up with the Clayton family at Bluebell Woods.  I first met Kate and Rob when they had their little girl Ruby back in 2009 as she was born around the same time as my daughters.  Ruby has since been joined by Isabella who was just 15 weeks old at the time of the shoot.  We took advantage of a rare dry day to explore the woodland walks and take some family pictures. 

Located in the grounds of Yoxall Lodge, Bluebell Woods is open for just a few weeks each year, enough time for visitors to enjoy the glorious bluebells that carpet the ground.  As we had little ones in tow we stuck to the shorter walks but longer walks of 2 1/2 miles are available for those that wish. 

Bluebell Woods is now closed but for those of you wanting to visit next year, their web address is www.bluebellwoodsyoxall.co.uk.

We had a lovely morning, topped off with Sunday lunch at the local pub!

Claire

When Claire arrived for her bump shoot she was not feeling the most confident about her body.  With just 11 weeks to go until the arrival of her second child, Claire was hoping that a maternity shoot would help her feel better about herself and remind her that she was still attractive and sexy. 

So my mission was set....to make Claire feel fantastic, to try many different looks and poses and ultimately to showcase her beautiful pregnant body. 

Personally, I thought that Claire looked great.  See the results of our shoot below - click on any of the images to make them bigger.

Thank you for a great shoot Claire and the very best of luck with your new addition.
