Liz's Birthday Present. A Gorgeous Family Portrait in Luddenham.

Late last year I was contacted by a lovely lady who had a wish for her upcoming birthday present. Liz wanted a Family Portrait with her husband, her sons, their wives and her four gorgeous grandsons aged 6,5,3 and 1.

They were all growing up so fast and with some of the boys living up the coast, getting everyone together was a challenge but not for Liz. She knew what she wanted and had the perfect plan to make it happen! The entire family was getting together at the family's gorgeous home on a rural property in Luddenham near Penrith to have a weekend of celebrations, so that was our moment!

A couple of weeks before our Family Portrait date, I went out to their home to have a look at the location and found some spots that were going to be great for their portrait. One in particular was an old plough that had been in the family for a very long time - it was perfect! Plus their driveway and garden area was going to give us plenty of options to create very different looks that were unique to their family.


With lots of kids (and grown up boys!) if was fast furious fun at times and Liz's daughter in laws did a great job of keeping the little boys entertained - the big ones did a pretty good job of entertaining us! We managed to get several different settings with the whole family and also the kids on their own and all the different groups within the family. The girls even did a super Charlie's Angels pose that had everyone laughing.



The kids were super cute and I simply loved the photographs we created of the four of them together - aren't they adorable?

The family - just being...a family!


I am so happy that we were able to help make Liz's birthday wish come true. The family now has some gorgeous Wall Portraits on display in their home that I know they will love and laugh over for many years. 
I love the Storyboard that Liz put together as well.


 And the ultimate Family Heirloom piece was the gorgeous Coffee Table book that includes all of Liz's favourite images from her Family Portrait Session. This is something that your grandchildren's children will look through those pages in years to come and know just how their family was way back in 2012. 



Liz, I have to thank you. It was wonderful to get to know you and your lovely family. It was such a pleasure to work with you and I hope you love your Family Portraits as much as I enjoyed meeting you and it was an honour to play my little part in making your birthday wish happen.

 Much love Alicia xxx
