Jonny & Betty

I'm just trying to catch up with a few shoots I did before Christmas on the blog.  Here's the first.  A lovely shoot with Jonny, Betty, Heidi & Vicky at Blake Dean, and then a little walk down into Hardcastle Crags.

I've been wanting to do a family shoot at Blake Dean for a while.  It's a gorgeous little spot just out of Hebden  Bridge, at the end of Hardcastle Crags.  When we were kids, me and my sister used to come up here with our cousins Matthew, Liz & Ben.  Remember those blissful summers with the sun beating down and the smell of sun tan lotion in the air?  We'd go up to Blake Dean, have a picnic and then paddle in the water to cool down.  It wasn't warm enough to do that on the shoot, but the light was perfect helping to bring out the colours of the bracken and the reflections in the water.

Heidi & Vicky chose the Great Outdoors package.  Betty brought a selection of handbags for the shoot, Jonny brought a chicken sandwich, and Heidi & Vicky were sporting very cool shoes (well they do own the rather fab Ruby Shoesday in Hebden Bridge!)

Here are a selection of images:
