Georgina & Mr Cool

"I just wanted to thank you. 

The photographs you recently took for us speak for themselves; they are stunning. We're very, very pleased with them, as I think you know from our viewing session, where we struggled to choose so bought them all! 

Thank you for making the shoot all so easy and relaxed. You did exceptionally well to manage so effortlessly all 4 children, a horse and 2 non-conforming dogs. We might have to throw in the 2 cats too the next time to really challenge you (joking!). 

An all round great experience, and of course, it goes without saying, we will continue to recommend you. So many people have already asked who took the photos - so your work is being recognised. 

You've captured some gorgeous memories. I've no doubt we'll repeat this process in a couple of years (if you'll have us again)."

It was such a privilege to photograph this pair at the most beautiful location, Hopwell Hall. I was so excited when Georgina's mum, Claire, called me and asked if we could book a shoot for Georgina's birthday. 2024 has definitely been the year of birthday gifts, and what a special gift it is.

I know this sounds so cliche, but it truly is a gift that spans a lifetime.

We booked Georgina's shoot in for April time, as the wooden area at Hopwell is a blanket of bluebells and the spring colours are to die for. I had the pleasure of shooting here is April 2023 as well, with Wendy & Maddie, and I can confirm this spring shoot was just as breathtaking.

Hopwell Hall isn't short of beautiful locations, we used the wooded area, outside the stable block and the walkway to the school as well as the school itself. It was a plethora of colour, which worked perfectly with Georgina's wardrobe. Mr Cool definitely lived up to his name and was a very good boy throughout, despite the midges coming out as the sun started to go down.

He enjoyed his freedom cantering around the school, and I managed to get some beautiful portraits of him on the move.

As you can see we also added Georgina's siblings and dogs in for a few images which was lovely. I love making the most of a shoot and including the whole family - the more memories that are made on shoot day, the better.

This was definitely a spring 2024 highlight for me. If you'd like to book for next spring, bluebell season does book up quickly (end of April, Beginning of May), so I recommend getting in touch soon to avoid disappointment.
