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.

Golden afternoon

Sam and Gary won the top prize of a portrait shoot and lovely big framed print at Richmond House School’s Spring Ball, where I took the red carpet photos (see earlier post). We went to Golden Acre Park in North Leeds with Gary’s girls Sally and Katie and Sam’s daughters Emily and Polly to get a group shot of everyone for the prize image. As usual I got carried away and couldn’t stop myself photographing everyone individually as well. They were great fun to shoot and it was a beautiful afternoon with lots of super light.
