Grandparent portrait present number two

I was back at Golden Acre the very next day after the last family for another present for a proud grandfather. The difference this time was that he was in on the act, having been told about the present on his birthday. So he came along to have his portrait with the whole family – his daughters and son and the children Alice, Molly, Annie and Sam and a fun time was had by all, especially when it came to the ice-creams…

Surprise present portrait

Big family group portraits as presents for grandparents is currently my most popular kind of shoot and I did two last weekend alone. My good friend Suzie, who runs fabulous baby massage classes in Leeds called Jelly Babies www.jellybabies.org.uk, wanted a surprise present for her Dad’s 70th birthday. Her half-sister suggested a family portrait so Catherine brought her husband and gorgeous little girl along to be photographed alongside her brother David and all of Suzie’s family – Alice, Joshua and her husband Stephen. We had a great time in Golden Acre Park and even though Emily wasn’t for keeping still, I think that adds to the effect and we’ve got some images that will make granddad happy.

Summer portrait

This lovely family was really easy to photograph, even the dog who I swear posed especially for the pictures and smiled beautifully. The girls are obviously both gorgeous, which always helps but they clearly adore each other as well. The late afternoon light was perfect and although it may have rained later on everyone’s planned BBQs, I think we got the essence of a perfect summer day in Yorkshire.
