Jane and Family, Location Portraits in Bushy Park

After what seems like an endless winter and generally awful weather, today was an absolutely stunning day for a portrait session in Bushy Park. A double family portrait to get a large print for Janes parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. Days like this are great fun, spending a couple of hours in the park with a really wonderful group of people who were incredibly natural in front of the camera. A challenging shoot with the lack of foliage from the late spring and a really strong midday sun, but fields of daffodils and blossoming trees more than made up for it!

Christmas Break

It has been a lovely break for Christmas and New Year, lots of time with the family which, for me, is the best bit. We’ve also had some very mixed weather, including plenty of snow and bitingly cold days. Through it all we have manged to get see some good friends and get plenty of outdoor time! We met up with friends for walks in the park, spent time outdoors on the bikes, and of course played out in the snow (well, Alex watched from the window…). On a technical front I have moved over to Full Frame with the aquisition of a shiney new D700 and upgraded some glass in preparation for what is looking like a very busy wedding season this year! Can’t wait to get started!

With that, some pictures from the last couple of weeks:

A Sunday Afternoon in the Park

Had a weekend off this weekend. Saturdays engagement shoot was postponed until next weekend due to the gale force winds and torrential rain (not overly romantic weather really) so the day was spent at home with the kids. After a lazy Sunday morning, the weather cleared up and we needed to get out of the house! We grabbed Isabelle’s bike and obviously I grabbed my camera and we headed out to Cranford Park.

It’s a strange little place literally off junction 3 of the M4 that you would probably never notice until someone points it out. It turned out to be a really pretty little park with a lovely old church, some walled gardens, loads of open fields and a play park for the kids. Isabelle had a ride on her bike, then one of the stabilisers broke so we had to take them off and she rode on her own without them (although very insistent I ran along with her!) Followed this by a play in the park in some gorgeous late afternoon autumn sunlight – when the weather is good I really love this time of year!
