Children's Photography near Stratford-Upon-Avon

Wow, it's been a while since I posted on the blog!  Following straight on from a busy end to the summer season I had a chocca-block half term with lots of beautiful Autumn shoots caught on camera.  With a little breather in the diary this weekend I thought it was high time I shared some recent images.

Today's photographs are from an on location children's photo shoot that took place at the end of September when we had a lovely, if short, spell of gloriously hot, sunny weather.  Abby and Rupert were fortunate enough to have booked their family portrait shoot for that very weekend, and what a fabulous time we had capturing images in the leafy gardens surrounding their beautiful family home near Stratford-upon-Avon.  The brief was to capture natural shots of their children, Hugh, Freddie and Jemima, enjoying themselves at home, doing the kind of things they enjoy doing every day.  From walking the dogs and collecting eggs from the chickens, to climbing trees and playing rugby, the morning was action packed and the morning we spent together flew by!

I am delighted with this set of on location children's portrait photography from Stratford-upon-Avon - one of my favorites so far this year.

Supporting Macmillan at the Warwick Prep School Autumn Fair

This coming Friday (28th September) I shall be attending Warwick Preparatory School's Autumn Fair to exhibit my children's photography and family portrait work whilst helping to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

I will be running an exclusive offer for on-location family portrait shoot bookings, and will be donating a percentage of sales to the very worthwhile Macmillan charity. 

Having lost my lovely mother-in-law to cancer last year I have seen at first hand the incredible support that Macmillan provides, so I hope to be able to raise a good sum of money alongside the other stall holders.  Please pop by between 8.00am and 10.30am on Friday for a chat and to browse through my work.  I look forward to seeing you there.

Belle Bebes Features Sophie Hewitt Photography

As a family and children's photographer I am always on the hunt for different ways to connect with parents, and when I came across the beautiful Belle Bebes blog earlier this year I knew instantly that I wanted to have my baby photography and children's portrait photography featured on the site.  The blog focuses on design ideas for babies and young children, and features cute and cutting edge toys, clothes, and home interiors ideas.

I was thrilled back in the spring when the team at Belle Bebes asked me to be interviewed for the site about my work as a children's photographer in Warwickshire, and this weekend I was doubly delighted when they featured one of my favourite family photo shoots from the summer season. 

Visit the Belle Bebes blog to read the feature and take a look around the wonderful site.  Grab yourself a coffee and leave yourself plenty of time though - there are so many gorgeous things on the blog that it's hard not to spend hours browsing!

Baby Photography in Stratford-on-Avon

Autumn is upon us, so before the blog is awash with  images of little ones all muffled up in their cosy scarves I though I would share one of my favourite baby portrait photography sessions from the summer season.

When Liz and Max contacted me to ask me to photograph their five-month-old daughter, Tabatha, I knew I was in for a treat.  Living in a beautiful, rural village close to Stratford-upon-Avon, Liz explained that their house was surrounded by wild flower meadows and woodlands, and that we had been granted permission to access these areas on the day of our shoot.  As an on location children's photographer in Warwickshire this is the kind of phone call I love to receive!

On the morning of the baby portrait shoot in Warwickshire we had a small window of time during which little Tabatha was awake and happy to be out and about, so we headed straight for the daisy meadows where we captured some beautifully natural family portrait photographs.  Sunlight, a warm breeze and a ton of wild flowers made for a simply beautiful setting.

Contented and very sparkly after a good feed and her morning nap back at home, Tabatha was an absolute joy to photograph.  Such smiley eyes - incredible!  I captured images of her both inside and outside Liz and Max's beautiful home, making use of the constant natural light that streamed through the windows and into the gardens on what was a rare sunny day.

I am delighted with this set of on location baby photography in Warwickshire and am looking forward to many more family portrait shoots during the autumn winter season ahead.  Snuggly snowsuits and mittens on elastic, here we come!

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
