Children's photography at the bluebell woods near Swindon

I've been doing lots of family and children shoots this spring and the bluebells are always a popular theme.  Last month I took Ruby and her mum Paula up to the bluebell woods for a little shoot.  Ruby is only two and as with most two year olds had her own views on how the shoot should go.  Between us we captured some of Ruby's fun-loving personality - and just look how wonderfully her auburn hair is set off against the bluebells.

Children's photography is a great passion for me - as a Mum myself I love capturing these precious images of your children as they grow.  I shoot on location using the natural landscape as coloured by the seasons which brings exciting opportunities and ensures your shoot will be unique to you.

If you would like to have some portrait of your family and children then please do get in touch - I love hearing from clients old and new!   Lifestyle sessions are available at your home or at a location of your choosing.

Celebrate Fathers' Day with some special Family Photography in Oxfordshire

Men are often reluctant to get in front of the camera but Fathers' Day is the perfect time to encourage the family to together for a relaxed shoot.  Summer is here (well, in theory anyway even if the temperatures are currently well below par!) and the great outdoors makes a wonderful setting.

These images I took last year of my own family - its easy to forget to capture them when I spend so much time shooting other peoples families!  I had been searching for a toy aeroplane to use in some of my nursery children's portraiture and unable to find what I wanted my father-in-law made me a lovely red wooden plane.  It was exactly what I needed and so we headed out in our 1965 mustang convertible to a nearby poppy field to grab a few pictures and make the most of some gorgeous late afternoon sunlight.

I wasn't sure what Jack would make of this wonderful old fashioned plane (he's such a technophile!) but he loved it.  Together with my husband they sat and played with the plane and then Jack became totally absorbed in his own make-believe world.  I captured some images which are so typical of him at this age and which I will treasure for a long time. One of these images is now framed above our bed and I'm delighted to say also recently won a silver award in the Image of the Month competition with The Guild of Professional Photographers.  Here are a few of my favourites:

Summer is a great time for family and children's portraiture  - please contact me or visit my website at www.judicheckettsphotography.com for more information on my family lifestyle shoots.

Engagement Shoot at Friars Court, Oxfordshire: Tom and Kat

As the wedding season gets into full swing here's Tom and Kat's engagement shoot from last summer.  Friars Court (Clanfield, Oxfordshire) was looking lovely for this shoot and I had a great time catching up again with Tom and Kat for their pre-wedding shoot. Such a lovely venue with so many different parts to the gardens to shoot in.  We made the most of taking in the best of them as you can see in the images below.

Congratulations on your forthcoming wedding Tom and Kat - really looking forward to be there to photograph your Wedding Day at Friars Court in July.
