Rustic & Relaxed Family Portraits in Burgundy
Back in October 2016 I boarded a plane at Manchester airport bound for France to photograph this sweet family whilst they were on vacation in the beautiful countryside on the outskirts of Beaune in Burgundy.
It had always been Mum’s dream to take her entire family to France and they had travelled 5000 miles from Washington State to make that dream a reality!
Having checked into Le Manoir Equivocal in the heart of Burgundy’s wine region, this Francophile family were embracing the French pace of life and spending quality time together. It was clear to me from the moment I arrived they were banking some pretty wonderful memories and I was so pleased to have been invited to capture this time for them on film.
Mum’s only request was to have a picture of herself with each of her children. This is always a priority for me, as I know full well how rare it is for Mum to be in the photos as - let’s face it - she’s usually the one taking them!
The children ranged from 3 to 13 years of age and were all amazing; totally embracing the photography experience and bringing all the fun! We nailed the brief and then some. One of the girls even tried her own hand at taking pictures of her family with my backup camera and you know what, she did pretty well!
If you’re planning a special family trip somewhere meaningful to you and would like to capture the moment with a collection of beautiful photographs on film then I’d love to help. Reach out and we’ll get the ball rolling!
