Family

It's not just children who have birthday parties! This was a 70th birthday celebration and another good opportunity to have some photographs while the family was all together.

There's nothing better than getting some family photos taken when everyone is gathered together for a celebration.

I love a stroll around Plessey Woods in Northumberland and this was the first time that I had done a portrait there. I will definitely add it to my list of portrait locations as I really enjoyed this one.

Weddings are sometimes the only times when family gets together, which is why it's good to try and get those special family photos. This is three generations of women, with the fourth generation (a girl) on the way!

The last time this family had a portrait together was at a graduation about 10 years ago.

This was the second Golden Wedding Anniversary party that I photographed this year. A family lunch at the Assembly Rooms in Newcastle.

Drinks were being served before lunch so I took some relaxed mingling shots of people chatting, in amongst gathering people for the family group photos.

Celebrating a Golden Wedding Anniversary is an ideal opportunity to get all of the family together for a photograph.

This celebration was a surprise for the couple in question. They thought they were just having a quiet lunch with one of their daughters and her family...until they were shown into a side room at The Ridley Arms in Stannington...to see their other children and grandchildren waiting for them.
