Nicola, James, Caroline, Glynn, Ryan and Baxter
We were very fortunate to have been Nicola and James's wedding photographers at Aldwark Manor this year and having enjoyed a fantastic day with them, we were looking forward very much to their family portrait session. This session included sisters, Nicola and Caroline, husbands James and Glynn, Caroline and Glynn's son, Ryan and Nicola and James's baby Westie, Baxter, who was suitably dressed for the snow in his stripey scarf. The brief was for natural, relaxed and fun family photographs. Not a problem. To include Baxter if possible please. OK, we don't mind a challenge and a bit of bribery involving Baxter and some doggie treats did the trick!!! In less than an hour, we had a selection of great family photographs in the can, working on various group photographs to include shots of everyone, Nicola and James with Baxter, Caroline, Glynn and Ryan and also Nicola and Caroline together. We then had some fun with Ryan who was a star! We think he really enjoyed the opportunity to play up to the camera and have a laugh but in all honesty, it was us who were laughing the most! Baxter on the other hand thought being photographed was very tiring. This is his "I want to go, I'm tired" shot!
