We're away on holiday next week with our friends Hannah & Dean at the beautiful Wild Meadow in the Welsh borders. We all went down there last year for Suzi's birthday, and then we returned for my birthday too. I might have become a little bit like my family before me, holidaying in the same spot, but when you discover somewhere as beautiful as Wild Meadow, I think you'd probably feel the same! It's a beautiful haven, an eco house built lovingly by the owners in the middle of a meadow. A kitchen garden, orchards, wild flowers, tall grass and birds and creatures a plenty. The last time we were down, we also had a family shoot with our friends who live down there. I realised we hadn't shared these photos, and thought it was timely. When we come back from Wales, we'll be in full family shoot swing and have a few slots for our meadow sessions in Hebden Bridge. Please do let us know if you'd like to book a shoot for your meadow runners!
Boys In The Wood
On a recent commercial shoot, we saw this quote on the windows of a house we visited:
In the darkness of the forest
There may be an open space
An interval
Or Gladness
That once discovered
Can be visited again and again.
It reminded me of a shoot we had with brothers Julian & Ben last year in Ainsdale Woods, low light and trees are a good mix for a shoot. After seeing that quote, it reminded us we hadn't shared this collection of images - here's to sunnier days!
Twins In Spring
This week the trees are in full blossom outside our office window, and we felt the warmth of the sun on our faces when we went out for a Wednesday wander. Spring is tentatively taking its first steps! We like to do our family shoots all year round, but there is definitely something special about a spring shoot. The colours in the woods, the flowers, the light, everything seems to align to create the perfect backdrop.
This family really wanted to include that hazy carpet of blue you find in a bluebell wood into their shoot, so we took a trip to the hidden gem that is Parcevall Hall and documented twins Gianna & Mariella exploring the beautiful grounds.
We still have a few slots left for April & May shoots, so if you'd like some natural photographs, just drop us a line to info@sarahmasonphotography.co.uk and we can talk about the perfect location for you and your family.
