summer family photography at sunset ~ Family photographer, Cheltenham & The Cotswolds

If you’re considering an outdoor family photo-shoot in The Cotswolds but aren’t sure what that might look like then this is the page for you!

 
a family walks away from the photographer through a field on a hill with views of cheltenham in front of them.  The sun is setting behind a tree to their right.

What you need to know…

- This sunset session took place in May

- The family had a 3 year old and a 4 month old

- We chose a location with stunning views of The Cotswolds

- The session lasted 2 hours (with a snack break in the middle!)

 
a family of 2 parents and 2 children stand on a pathway with woodland behind them.  The sun sets through the trees.  The dad holds one of the children up in the air while the mum holds a baby in her arms.
 
a young family walk along a path through a field towards the camera. A young boy is holding hands with his parents and looks at the camera

What you need to know…

- My photo sessions are relaxed, informal, fun and easy-going.

- My photos are all about capturing the beauty in real moments and real emotions.

- My families want the ‘perfectly imperfect’ - photos of genuine joy & pure love are more important to them than forced smiles and every strand of hair being in place.

What you need to know…

If you’ve got young children, you may wonder how it works doing a photo session at sunset. Well let me give this gorgeous 4 month old as an example:

- we stopped so his mum could give him a feed whenever he needed it

- there were plenty of cuddles and snuggles

- I’d advised bringing plenty of layers so he didn’t get cold as the evening progressed

- I’ve got more advice in this previous blog post

 

So if you want photographs which are packed full feeling, memories which your kids will talk about for years and all set in a beautiful place, get in touch and we’ll make it happen for you!
