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 😉

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 😉

Jacob -Little ones shoot

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!

Fionnuolla & Stephen (Catholic Wedding in Solihull and reception @The Manor Hotel in Meriden)

Congratulations to Fionnuola and Steve. A very fun (and crazy) wedding day!

Its been extremely hectic over the last few months being in the middle of the wedding season. We’ve had some unusual but yet very usual, un-predicted weather for the UK over the last 2 months.

I just thought I’d share a snippet of images from Fionnuola and Stephens wedding that took place at the end of last month. I hope everyone’s had a lovely August bank holiday weekend!! =)

Baby Mason @4weeks old

What a little cutie!!!

It may have taken a couple of t-shirt changes for adam with the usual baby mess but we definitely captured how absolutely adorable he is!

I can’t wait to do the next session after 6 months when he’s crawling. We’ll have to chase him round the studio.

Meanwhile have a fantastic christmas and happy new year with your little family!!
