The morning shoot didn't start brilliantly when Archie and Ebony took a tumble out of the wheelbarrow! Understandably they didn't want to go near it for a while so we set off down the lane with balloons in tow. The kids enjoyed this and typically for this age group the shoot was largely on the move with me keeping an eye on the fairly weak available light.
There was a real friendship between the kids and I wanted to capture how great they are with each other at this stage of their family life.
We headed back into the yard to try and get some more considered portraits. By this stage both kids were getting tired and it became quite hard work. All the delegates were relieved to see that this is normal and felt better for witnessing it. When I'm on my own with a family it is a lot less daunting for the kids then a mass of photographers training though!
After some fun in Fleur I demonstrated how lovely it is to get some action shots as part of a lifestyle shoot - both kids were great little runners and I just loved Rowan's 4 year old determination. We also had some fun with the autumn leaves.
