Today is the 15th May. As I sit at my computer, virtually in the dark, with the heating on and hailstones lashing at the window, I like to be cheered up a bit and reminded that we do get some nice weather occasionally, so I thought I’d blog a kids portrait session from last autumn!

When I met mum in the carpark prior to the shoot, she warned me that the boys might be difficult to photograph. I assured her that it would be fine, although I was a bit taken aback when the foam swords came out of the car 🙂

We started off with the bubbles, but then moved on to swords/balls/general running round!

Someone wasn’t quite so into it at some stages….

With kids, they make it quite obvious when they’ve had enough!
