Siobhan Lifestyle Portrait session

Earlier this week we had the opportunity to photograph Siobhan for her Mother Jill.

We hadn’t met either of them before but both admitted to feeling a bit nervous about the session.  Jill had won the shoot in a raffle in support of the Help for Heroes campaign.  We donate two shoots a year to charitable causes and it’s always a pleasure to give someone a special day.  We’re pretty relaxed people ourselves so it didn’t take too long before both Jill and Siobhan were actually looking forward to the shoot.  We started with a few shots around the house just to get warmed up and it quickly became clear that Siobhan was going to be a little star.  She settled into some relaxed shots very easily and once I’d shown her a few images on the back of the camera she was really up for the rest of the shoot.  We shot off to Plessey Woods and although it was fairly busy we managed to find some natural backgrounds which worked really well.  I really wanted to use some more urban backgrounds so we headed off to the coast.  Unfortunately, the clouds were gathering and the shots you see here on front of the beach huts were all we managed and these took all of five minutes.  That’s all we had before the thunder and lightening started.  And boy, did it start.  There wasn’t any option other than to run for the cars.  Never mind though, we’ve got some lovely images for Jill and here’s a few.
