Natural Family Photography, Bristol: Blaise Castle – The Hamilton Family

Ahhh such a gorgeous family and at such a lovely location!

I met with Shona, Ben and Rory at Blaise Castle on a gorgeous sunny day at the beginning of September. We had thought it would be a lovely spot to roam at will in the open and let their pooches have a run around but unbeknown to us, there was a HUGE dog show on!! To save the poor dogs going crazy (and to avoid too many photobombers!) we headed for the woodland, well out of the way of the main open space and found a lovely little grassy nook complete with bowing tree and long grass….which I adore!

Having been in touch for about a year (Shona booked one of my Christmas lifestyle offers last year) we had been emailing to and fro for some time and just felt like old friends – it genuinely was such a lovely session…I was kinda sad to wrap it up!

Thank you, Shona, Ben and Rory, for being so patient…for putting up with half a dozen goes at ‘the dog on the log’ shot and for George’s lovely bag of ‘entertainment’ goodies. You’re too kind.

Here are the pictures!

  1. Gosh, the pleasure is all ours Abi, the photos are just beautiful and surpassed all expectations! You were the one with the patience for anyone who knows us and our dogs well, will know that obtaining any kind of group shot with them is pretty much impossible – well, you achieved that and a number of shots so well and I cannot tell you how grateful I am that you were able to capture the perfect shot for us!
    I will not hesitate to recommend you to all my family and friends and I really do hope we will meet again for another shoot! Thank you so much again! xx

    • Thank you SO much Shona! It was such a pleasure to photograph your gorgeous family and I shall keep my fingers and toes crossed for the privilege of photographing you all again in the not too distant future. xx
