The first shoot of Spring and it was with the Giles Family. They’ve recently had their second child, beautiful baby Max, who is just gone 3 months old and is baby Brother to Tom who is 4.

Sarah and Paul looked remarkably fresh given the new addition to the family and wanted to get some lovely family shots as a new family of four!

Tom balancing his way through the start of the shoot (left) and the whole family in the  fantastic grounds of the Bowes Museum with all the Daffodils bringing some colour to the occassion (right).

Tom took a few minutes to warm up but it wasn’t long before he was showing me his cheeky side! It was great to see him so relaxed in front of the camera to give some great natural shots.

Tom started to have Paul’s life towards the end of the shoot or Mr Poop Poop as he was more commonly known, which really gave some fantastic expressions from them both with some natural laughter. It makes my job a lot easier when I can just stand back and capture the connection between families and I think a lot of people prefer it that way as it doesn’t have to feel like you’re on a photoshoot to get some family photos.

It was the first time the Giles Family have been to Bowes Museum but I think they’ll revisit, maybe when Max is big enough to run after Tom 🙂
