In March I had my first family shoot of the year at Kingston Lacy. I met Fran and Ben and their 2 children there for a walk to get a selection of group shots as well as some photos of the children for their youngest daughter's first birthday.
To start with, their oldest daughter was not a fan of having her photo taken, but she warmed up and by the end wanted photos taken of her and then also wanted to take a few photos of her Mum and Dad with my camera. Sometimes with the older siblings this can be the case. They just have to warm up to the camera.
Kingston Lacy in Wimborne is a great location for photos as it is such a big place with beautiful flowers and plants all over. When we visited there were lots of daffodils out in bloom as well as blossom trees which made great backgrounds and frames for photos.
I really believe in having family photos displayed on your walls at home. We live in an age where we take so many photos on our phones, but so few of them get printed. I will admit I am a little behind in getting albums printed, but I am always changing up my photos around the house.
Your children will thank you for being in the photos of their childhood. You may be worried about post baby weight or feel you don't look good enough for photos. They really won't care. They will be happy to see you in their photos!
