This gorgeous family is about to embark on a new chapter in their life as they leave Leeds and head to Devon. They told me they are going to keep chickens and have an eco-hot-tub and it sounds like a dream! To remind them of the happy times they’d had while they lived in Yorkshire, we spend a blissful hour in a tucked away corner of Meanwood Park to capture some images of them to make portraits for the walls of their new home. They move today. Good luck! Leeds will miss you but I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful life in Devon. At least the weather might be a bit better, though we did manage to persuade the sun to make a brief appearance for us while we did our session…

We caught a grasshopper! If you look carefully you can see it jumping out of Nicky’s hands…

It’s a bit of a mishmash of subjects and styles as I played about with different lenses.  I know, less is more, but I get carried away.

This man, who shot past the girls as I took this, appeared to be completely on his own and shall we say, past the first flush of youth.  Nothing wrong with going out for a bit of solitary sledging when you’re retired…

Getting a bit landscapy now as you can see.  Not really my thing usually but thought I’d have a go as it was quite pretty.

More typical perhaps…

Clearly this is not a Lawrence.  But he was a very friendly horse.

And off to the pub…
