This was the hottest day of the year, and didn’t we know it! We decided to go to Fountains Abbey for the morning to have a play in the HUGE park area and a walk around the lovely grounds.

Martha and Seb were like mini models.

“Martha was soon to be turning the big 1 so we thought it would be a really nice shot to get some of her walking.”

Martha was soon to be turning the big 1 so we thought it would be a really nice shot to get some of her walking (with Mums help). There were some lovely blue coloured flowers so I layed down to get some close up portraits of Martha, I should have checked where I was laying down though as little nettles were everywhere around me 🙁

After we managed some shots of Martha I turned my attention to Seb and followed him around the park area to get some nice tight portraits, his beautiful brown eyes worked really well with a slight bit of catch-light. We then just let the kids play as they usually would and I attempted to run around with them, struggling most of the time, while taking some candid shots.

To finish off the day we decided to visit Archers Ice Cream Parlour on the way back (would be rude not to) and get some much needed refreshment. Becky really wanted a shot of Seb playing on his favourite old tractor that sits in the field opposite the parlour, so to finish the day we managed a fantastic shot of Seb in his own little world enjoying tractor time 🙂
