**photographed in 2019** It’s always a pleasure to photograph good friends and this bunch I know really well. It was Jan’s birthday (my friend’s mother-in-law) and the family had decided that it would be a really nice present to buy her an extended family photoshoot with all the grandchildren, of which she has – wait for it! – 9!! 

We decided on Hall Place, which is one of my favourite locations, a date was set and on a Sunday afternoon we met in the car park. All the children know me well, Michelle’s children know me really well as our children have grown up together, but Michelle’s nieces and nephews all know me too, so it was very relaxed and familiar.

It was great to photograph them all. I started with the extended family, then the individual families and after that Jan with all her grandchildren. Next I took individual portraits and some shoots of Jan with her sons and finally I took some “couples” shots. The great thing about these shoots is that you get such a mix of images at the end. Everyone has individual family portraits as well as shots of the extended family and the children together and on their own. It really is a great way to capture these memories, and super time efficient too!

I’ll let the images speak for themselves. This type of shoot is one of my most popular but always takes a lot of planning as there are multiple families to schedule together. If you would like a shoot like this, the information on these sessions can be found here, including price information.

I look forward to capturing your family for you soon!
