Spring… A most favourite time of the year! The bluebells were high and abundant at Badbury clumps this year. The Baileys organised an Openspace portrait session as a present for their parents. It was my first ever time taking a large groups pictures, 10 people in all!

We all had great fun, as you can see below.


When you get to Badbury Clumps you need to find the rope swing… It is mainly for adults!


A simple image to create and one that is now hanging in their dining room.


Both of these images are a little different to what I normally photograph on a portrait session i.e. not natural photography. But the subjects were more than willing for me to try out my new Lensbaby 3G!

I met Emily & Harry at Roves Farm. Their mum and I agreed that a portrait session at Westonbirt Arboretum would be a lovely idea. We had great weather, the bluebells were still just out and I found out that Emily - like most children - loved playing with the bubbles!


This is one of my favourite images from the day - thanks to Katie for blowing the bubbles…


Full of life, energy and laughter is how I like my portrait sessions.


Harry had a bad cold, but I still managed to get a little natural smile from him.

Another favourite location of mine is the woods. Badbury clumps was the perfect place for three brothers to let off some energy and give me a chance to capture some perfect natural moments. The bluebells were out in full as well so we couldn’t go wrong really.


This is a typical gorgeous natural portrait that Openspace Photography produce.


A bit of sitting and a bit of running, they all make for a great image.
