The Beynon Family

The Beynon family asked me to photograph their family at their beautiful country home in a very pretty Cotswold village. The family house was due to be sold and it was and end of an era. It’s always sad to move from a well loved home that you’ve lived in for so long. However, change can be a good thing! Guy and Conrad were two of the kindest most polite boys that I have met. They obviously adored their little sister Livy. I love the contrast of rugby playing boys and the gentleness they showed towards their sister. Glad the dog managed to make it the photoshoot. It wouldn’t have been the same without him! Again I have too many to show but here are some of my favs.sue beynon 02sue beynon 11sue beynon 12sue beynon 26sue beynon 27sue beynon 31sue beynon 22sue beynon 29sue beynon 34

The Cooper Family

Getting seriously behind with my blogs as I am very busy with the run up to Christmas. Apologies to those that are waiting to see their blog. These next photos were taken at the end of the summer at the Cooper family home. They were celebrating  the new arrival to the family, Daisy the labrador. I think she must be twice the size now! I love these kids they are so photogenic and I love the way they are. We had fun playing in the garden and having a teddy bears picnic. Not just teddy bears I think every toy came out of the bedrooms. I also love the shot of India on the bed. Would have been great to get all three but there’s always next time! I have so many from this family I can’t narrow it down. cooper 1cooper 2cooper 9cooper 10cooper 26cooper 21cooper 34cooper 32cooper 37cooper 29cooper 40

William

It was lovely to see William again. I last photographed him when he was just a few weeks old and we patiently waited for him to nod off in his daddy’s arms so we could get that shot ! Well those days are gone and he’s bouncing around full of energy. He is really into dinosaurs. I love his curly blond hair and piercing blue eyes. Such a smiler. will bw 20will 01will 15will 16will 11will 24will 28

Joshua and Joseph

It was lovely to meet Sarah and Dave again as I was lucky enough to photograph their wedding. I do love seeing my clients again especially when they bring me new additions to their family. Joseph and Joshua were a delight to photograph. They gave me lots of smiles and enjoyed lots of attention. Its great getting all the family together, the babes can be passed around. Lets hope the boys grow up to be great friends aswell as great cousins! I have lots of favourites but here are a few.

The boys!

The boys!

Becky and bump

Oh I do love a beautiful, well rounded, ready to drop bump! Becky managed to squeeze in a photo shoot at home with only a few days before her due date. It all goes too quickly and you can hardly believe how amazing you looked when you were pregnant (even if you might not have felt it!). I love the shots of Mother , Bump and daughter. Priceless! I am looking forward to photographing baby Tait in a few weeks. Sooner the better as he turned out to be a whopper! Here are some of my favouritesbecky poppy and bump 30becky poppy and bump 6

Esteban

I went to meet Esteban and his Mum and Dad at their home in Tewkesbury. They were very kindly bought a photo session by a good client of mine. It was lovely to meet them and to hear French spoken again. ( I love the French language). As you can see he is a very gorgeous boy and thoroughly enjoyed all the attention. After playing in the house for a while we took advantage of the nice weather and took his much loved walker for a stroll. Aurore hope you like this first one? esteban 31esteban 02esteban 26esteban 16esteban 19esteban 18esteban 29esteban 28

James’s christening

What a great Christening this was in the perfect setting of Overbury Church and afterwards at Dumbleton Hall. The ceremony was very relaxed  as it was a woman vicar who let the children run free in church. So no stressed parents keeping the kids quiet.! James looked very smart in his white shirt and trousers. The reception was fun as it was lots of kids of different ages playing croquet on the lawn as the adults sipped their champagne. All good family fun. Just to let you know Michelle I have many favourites but this first one is my absolute fav ! Feel free to leave a comment. xxjames c 8james c 6jame c 3james cjames c 7james c 5james c 35james c 2

November 1, 2009 - 8:36 pm Michelle Cooley - Laura, you really captured the essence of the day and James looks like a little angel... which of course you know he is most definitely not!! Thank for you for such a lovely record of his Christening day. Michelle & Martin

Baby Bobby

I was delighted that Ami (my  hairdresser) asked me to photograph baby Bobby. He was a little star. Full of smiles and all eyes for the camera at such an early age. He is going to be a right little heart throb when he grows up! Here are some of my favourites. bobby 4bobby 11bobby 15bobby 16bobby 18bobby 19bobby 21

Amazing Grace !

Oh I do love photographing newborn babes! Such a special time, especially when its your first. I know its a cliche but it goes all too fast. Before you know it, they’re chewing on drumsticks and being measured for their first pair of shoes. Luckily I got to photograph Grace when she was just 3 weeks old. It was a lovely intimate photoshoot and Helen (the mum) and I took our time admiring little Grace and the wonder of life!  We waited patiently for that magic moment when they drop off into a true deep sleep. Here are a few of my favourites……enjoy.Xbaby grace 27baby grace 17baby grace 22baby grace 24baby grace 32baby grace 29baby grace 51baby grace 02

Kaloo Family

What a treat to photograph such beautiful girls. Having three girls myself it felt like yesterday that they were the same age. It was a very exciting time in the Kaloo family, with the arrival of a new baby sister, Anna. I loved the way Pippy and Emily  interacted with their new sister. However that’s all very good and well. There were more important things to do ….like licking the bowl from the chocolate muffins mixture. The best bit!  Girls after my own heart. One of my favourite shots is this first one. So pure and simple. I’m delighted the parents agree.
