Family Portrait Photos Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

The Courts - 3rd June 2009

It must have been about a year since I last took some family portraits with Jo & Harry and this time there was a new addition....well two new additions in fact! No not twins, but Harry's little sister Florence and Dad! I hadn't met dad last time as the photos we did were for a fathers day surprise, so it was nice to see the whole family this time round....including step brother & Co.

It's great getting to shoot family photos again with previous clients as we can get straight down to having a laugh from the off. Jo kindly took me to one of Cheltenhams notorious 'view points'.....or Dog 'walking' spots as it's commonly known! Thankfully day and night are two separate affairs and we had a great time rolling around in butter cups, rather than flashing our interior light (say no more)! Our session did come to a disappointing end though as we didn't get the 'ice cream' shot as hoped, but instead watched the van go steaming off straight past us - doh!

Maybe next time. Anyhow, here's a few of my favs from the shoot.

Just the Davis'

It's a post about little more than my sweet family. A, D & B. It's been great weather recently so we've been out and about, enjoying lunch with Grandad, having days out with Grandma, Grampy & Autie Hilary, and a few BBQ's for good measure.

There was one moment recently that couldn't get recorded on camera, but was a true classic from Daisy. Earlier in the day we'd been out and when I returned home the old lady from up the road was out front. I took Daisy and Barney up to say hello and check her health - seeing as she's 80 odd!!! Anyway, Daisy had some strange phobia of the old lady, and went all shy turning her back on her. Strange I thought, as Daisy is usually very much the chatter box who can't stop herself when it comes to talking to strangers.

Anyhow, later during dinner we asked her what the problem was with seeing the old lady.
Ali: "were you scared?"
Daisy: "no"
Ali: "so what was the problem?"
Daisy: "the lady had got a moustache"

How funny....we all craked up laughing. Best of all she must have spotted this from 15ft away as she barely got closer than that!

Dasiy had a busy day with Grandma at the 'tall ships'. Although she didn't really like the tall ships, but face painting went down a treat instead. Whilst she was out I filled the paddling pool ready for an evening cool off. Daisy chose to take a dip, then re-dress as seen above. Classic. Gotta be one for the family album!

Ice cream, a big climb, then woosh straight down. She wasn't expecting the wind though - close your legs young lady!
