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!

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.

What do you get your mum for her 80th Birthday? Three sisters chose a family outdoor portrait session with Openspace Photography - 12 people in all! I like to use the Tythe Barn in Great Coxwell for some of my portrait sessions. It gives us enough cover if it looks like it’s going to rain and looks stunning when the sun is out!

You can tell the two guys on the end are rugby players!

My portrait sessions are all about fun and this family loved their sport, so they played a game of cricket and we got some great natural portrait shots.

Openspace Portraits are fun!

Something a bit more formal but in keeping with my natural relaxed style.

Thanks to everyone for a great morning.
