Rachel, Stew & Olivia – Newborn Photo Shoot, Cheltenham

Gemma — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 12:33:32 +0000

I thought I’d share a few shots from a new born baby photo shoot I did back in August in Cheltenham. Olivia was only 11 days old in these images and she is just so scrummy!! She stayed asleep through the majority of the photo shoot which was perfect and we even got a few eyes open at the end. I really enjoyed this shoot, Rachel and Stew should be very proud of their gorgeous new little bundle!

Leila & David Sneak Peek – Manchester Wedding

Gemma — Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:21:53 +0000

It was an absolute pleasure to photograph this wedding in Manchester. I’m slightly Bias when I say isn’t the bride GORGEOUS- simply because she’s my cousin!!

Leila and David live in Cheltenham but with David being a northern boy and his uncle being a priest up in Manchester it worked out perfectly to have the whole event in ‘The North’

Leila never stops smiling so she’s fab great to photograph. David on the other hand struggles in front of the camera but with a few jokes I had up my sleeve and all the happiness on the day I managed to capture him looking relaxed and extremely happy! I especially love the one of them looking at each other.

I wish them all the happiness in the world!!

Tiffany Veitch & Family- Leckhampton Hill Cheltenham- Family photography

Gemma — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 13:13:56 +0000

An afternoon out with the Veitch family. We did get chased by cows and walked a few miles over Leckhampton hill but it was an extremely fun afternoon. Such a lovely family who were an absolute pleasure to photograph. The weather is so perfect over these next few months to go outside and capture some brill family photohgraphs. Obviously minus the rain we’ve had over the last week.

The best days for photography are bright overcast days, creating beautiful diffused light. Know one wants to be squinting the whole time. I’ll leave you with a couple of examples from the shoot.

Happy October everyone!!

Lucy & Sammi – Children’s photo shoot in the Montpellier gardens, Cheltenham

Gemma — Fri, 04 May 2012 09:58:54 +0000

This photo shoot took place in the Montpellier gardens in Cheltenham, early this April. We met at the lovely cafe in the centre of the gardens to begin with and had a coffee as this was the week that became particularly chilly after those glorious weeks in March. Sammi had a hot chocolate which soon became coated round his cheeky face, the perfect way to get to know one another!!

I’d spoken to Lucy a fair few times before the shoot, It really felt like I was photographing a friend.

Sammi and Lucy are truly lovely around one another. We played lots of games involving sticks, running races and hide and seek, it was a heavy workout!

I always make sure I keep a fair distance when I’m shooting because I really aim to capture natural, fun and relaxed shots and none of this cheesy old fashioned, posed photography. We all went on an adventure for the morning, which basically means I get to be a kid for a couple of hours with no one questioning it!!

Can I just also mention that I absolutely LOVE Lucy’s style, the pink coat worked so well with Mr Sammi looking super cool 😉

Harvey – 12 days olds new born baby photoshoot

Gemma — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 20:56:19 +0000

This is the first shoot of two i’m going to be doing for gorgeous baby Harvey at only 12 days old. The next shoot will be done from when he’s between 6 months and 1 year.

I’d always recommend doing new born photos as early as possible, definitely within the first 3 weeks. Babies grow so fast, the first few weeks are such a fantastic and unforgettable time that really has to be captured. I always make sure my clients can view there images no later than 2 weeks after the shoot. After every new born photo shoot the couple always comment that they can’t believe how much there little bundle has grown.

Meanwhile I’d like to wish Kirsty and Dan all the best for the further with their VERY HANDSOME and scrummy baby Harvey…… More of little Harvey to come over the next year. Watch this space 😉

Kate & Mason – 1st Birthday

Gemma — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 13:26:18 +0000

I thought I’d share with you the steps taken from november 2010 right up until january of this year 2012. Its so lovely to be involved in watching people and especially new born babies change and grow. From mum and bump, new born to Mason’s first birthday! How time flies through your first steps of parent hood.

Kate was absolutely stunning when pregnant although she thought otherwise, I beg to differ and I hope you agree. These images also looked pretty in colour but I fancied a little bit of monochrome on the blog.

Take a look through and all comments are appreciated 😉

Little Jacob who’s GORGEOUS I think you’ll agree. Photographed in the studio completely happy and content for well over an hour. Liz and Dave where just about to leave for a holiday in Devon and i’m sure it was a quiet drive as this little tiger was very sleepy in the end. Well its hard work being a model!

A HUGE congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs Henderson!A brilliant day had by all I should imagine!! I had so much fun photographing Matt and Jens wedding at the stunning Sudeley Castle in Cheltenham.

We were completely spoilt for choice in terms of where to take photographs as the whole venue and its surrounding acres are simply breath taking. Heres just a tiny snippet of there day. Happy browsing!
