Family Portraits Guilsborough, Northamptonshire

Introducing the very lovely baby Beatrice and her family from Guilsborough in Northamptonshire, who popped by the studio at the weekend for some family portraits with their newest arrival.

Mum and Dad had contacted me earlier in the year wanting some individual baby photography of nearly 9 month old Beatrice plus lots of family photographs with her adoring family, including the Grandparents.

To start with Beatrice wasn’t too keen on being in the limelight and regardless of Dad’s admirable efforts at making her laugh (including some very impressive dog barking) she simply wasn’t having any of it! We still managed to capture some gorgeous images though…

Beatrice was much happier being held and so we managed to capture some wonderful Mother and baby photo’s plus lots of beautiful and varied images of the family as a whole. I personally love these very natural and relatively unposed kind of portraits as they really capture the natural intimacy between the various family members. It really doesn’t matter to me if everyone is looking at the camera or not but much more important that they are interacting together.

Finally it was the turn of the super patient Grandparents to get involved in the family shoot, and what a truly magical set of images we captured, ones I hope the whole family can enjoy forever. I must admit to usually preferring to photograph individual children’s portraits, however, when a family gels as well as this, it is an absolute pleasure!
