Four children looking over the top of a white wall at a family photographer

Oxfordshire Family Photographer captures sweet moment when grandchildren and grandparents sit on the sofa reading the paper

I was delighted to be invited to Bibury Farm Barns to photograph a very special family.

We'd first met when I'd

photographed them at a Christening.

They loved my photos from that special day but particularly the candid moments. Consequently, they asked me to

photograph their family holiday

in the Cotswolds.

Initially, the first thing I do before a photo shoot is learn all about the family I'm photographing! It was great to have a chat with Jules who gave me a brilliant insight into all the children. Most importantly though, she told me that Grandma, the Birthday girl, may feel a little uncomfortable in front of the camera.

As a result to of this information, I began the shoot focusing purely on the children as they played outside. This helped break the ice, burn off some of the children's excess energy, and took the focus off Grandma! Consequently she could relax and enjoy the experience.
