An Outdoor Photoshoot

Last weekend I had a commission to capture some natural portraits of a delightful little girl for her fourth birthday. With heavy showers a possibility we started off in the studio for a few minutes, which gave the opportunity for some beautiful close-up portraits before she started to get too restless and fidgety!

Then it was everyone outside for a walk to the park......fortunately by now the clouds were clearing and it stayed fine for the rest of the shoot.

Outdoor photoshoots are unpredictable, which is all part of the fun. Today we found some ladybirds - catching them and counting the spots is good fun for children and a great opportunity for some close up portraits. 'No ladybirds were harmed in the making of these photographs...'

Still raring to go and having fun at the end of the photoshoot. Studio portraits have their place but you can't beat the great outdoors for a fantastic photoshoot experience.
