Recently I was excited to be asked to shoot a very large family session as a surprise gift for a beautiful lady on her 70th birthday. The day chosen couldn't have been more perfect considering the wet weather we had been having and I spent a thrilling afternoon photographing the various family groups gathered at the celebrations.
There were 19 people altogether including 7 kiddies, it was huge, busy and a totally amazing experience for me as a photographer! This cutie pie "Miss O" was super keen to model for me. Isn't she darling?
Heartfelt thanks to Ange for organising the surprise for her lovely mother-in-law...
...and also to Helen for inviting me into her home to shoot our session.
And here they all are! I was honoured to be a little part of your special 70th birthday celebrations, it was ever so wonderful meeting you all. I truly hope you enjoy your sneak peeks here (you have extras since there were so many of you *grin*) and will treasure the portraits I've captured of your happy relaxed family on the day. All your proofs will be ready to view on my proofing website in the next day or so, I will email you the addy so keep your eye on your inbox. :)

Love the soft VINTAGE feel to this large group one.

Thanks ever so much girls!! I'm SO excited about finally being brave enough to launch the site, it was a big step for me. Once my personal family BLOG went private I felt like I really needed a new place to share my work.
You are all so supportive, the biggest of hugs to you!

Was always the plan to launch it while on LSL but I'll admit to holding my breath when I did it! *grin*
Hi Chrissie,
Thanks so much for agreeing to take the photos of ALL of us!! I have certainly enjoyed the 'sneak peek' of our family photos. They look great, and you have done the most amazing job!
I am sure you will have great success in your new venture as you obviously have a wonderful talent - not just in photography, but in making the subjects feel very comfortable and relaxed.
Thanks again, and it was lovely to meet you.
Helen
P.S I love the selection of music on your blog :-)
You are MOST welcome Helen! What a gorgeous down to earth family you guys have, I felt at home straight away. :) I have given Ange the email addy for the PROOF site of all the images, I hope your MIL will like her gift. If I can help you with anything please just sing out (email on side bar).
Chrissy
