A Fun Family Photoshoot in Whitby

Family Photoshoot by Ceri Oakes Photography

Back in autumn I was asked if I was available to take some photos of a family who were on holiday to celebrate their father’s 80th birthday. They were visiting the Yorkshire Coast and staying at a holiday cottage in Ruswarp. The whole shoot was a surprise until the day before.

They asked for a mixture of nice group shots as well as some more fun photos that were informal and a bit more relaxed.

We made the most of the lovely green gardens of the house, as well as the autumn leaves, by having a family leaf fight. Everyone managed to really relax and enjoy the shoot so I had the opportunity to capture some moments of real belly laughing in the photos. Even looking back through the pictures now puts a smile on my face!

Here is a selection of images showing the different kind of shots we got in the hour session:
