First Birthday Day Out - Children's Photography in Stratford-upon-Avon

Today's images are from a wonderful family photo shoot in Stratford-upon-Avon taken right at the end of May when we had an amazing (but oh so short) spell of hot weather.  Little Jasper was celebrating his first birthday with a trip to Hatton Country Farm and I was invited along to capture some memories of his very special day.

We started our on-location portrait shoot early to avoid the harsh midday sun, but by 10am the heat was already getting intense.  Mum Bryony produced a selection of hats to keep Jasper well shaded, and at that point we selected the straw trilby which just seemed to mirror Jasper's happy-go-lucky personality perfectly.  He really was the most laid back, happy one year old I've had the pleasure of photographing - a real little treasure!

Jasper spent the morning playing on the swings, exploring the farm trails (where he did a rather good job of milking the pretend cow!), and playing with mum Bryony and dad Max.  The cool water runs, where Jasper enjoyed panning for fools gold, provided the type of superb entertainment and backdrop that every on location children's photographer loves.

I hope you enjoy looking through these on location children's portrait photographs as much as I did creating them.  To see more of my work as a family photographer and children's photographer in Warwickshire and beyond, please visit my website at www.sophiehewittphotography.co.uk
