This was my first shoot of the year but it wasn’t too chilly despite being early January. We met down at the Abbey and within minutes of meeting the Porter Family I knew it would be a fun shoot because their fun characters.

It just goes to show that it doesn’t need to be warm or super sunny to get great natural family portraits. It’s great that the Porter’s embraced the time of year and didn’t let anything put them off having a great time on the shoot.

I was soon affectionately known as ‘Dave’ by both Josilyne & Tia. I tried to correct them for the first few times but then it turned into a running joke throughout the shoot much to Sarah’s amusement 🙂

We took our time to explore the Abbey before moving onto the old railway bridge. On our way we took the opportunity to get some shots down the riverside amongst the trees before finishing up with some fun family group shots on the bridge.

Sarah had these kinds words to say on receiving the final images;

“Friendly and fun, Dan did a fantastic job of taking new pictures of my girls!! He even took it in his stride when my youngest decided to rename him ‘Dave’ I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for quality natural shots!!
