This weekend we had our first family photo session of the summer and oh how happy I was sitting amongst the tall grass, buttercups and other wildflowers with my other half and my little love. This meadow is most probably my favourite place on the island, it's so calming, peaceful and pretty and if I could sit there all day, laying in the grass and reading a book then I'd be the happiest girl in the world.
I was delighted to have the three of us together as Jacek has been working such long hours lately and has a six day week this week, it's so hard spending so much time away from each other so when all three of us can spend time together, especially in such an idyllic setting it's so precious to me.
I took my camera with me to the meadow and used my 55-200mm lens to take all these shots and I love the effect it gave of blurring the background and focusing on us, it gives such a fairy-land like vibe to me and if I could have found a good bokeh effect I'd have added it to my pictures too.
These pictures really captured our personalities has a family really well - my sons cheeky smile, his happy little face, his adventurers spirit and his interactions with us, his mummy and daddy. We're all so playful together and I hope that's a family dynamic of ours that never ends.
These shots really are some of my favourite captures from the year so far (I know I say this about every photography post I feature here but really they are!). I hope the rest of our summer days together are as happy as our afternoon in the meadow. Giggles with my two favourite boys are just infectious and all our moments together as a family of three as so special to me.
Those photos are absolutely gorgeous. Hopefully your husband's hours will cut down soon so you guys can spend more time together as a family :)

ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous photos! I love that you are able to use your creative talents to make lasting memories for your family. Also, I want to ask...my sister is heading to Ireland at the end of the month (Dublin) with her husband who travels to Ireland often for work. Any tips on what they should do/see/experience?
ReplyDeleteThanks!

ReplyDeleteThese photos are amazing!!! I would love to learn to take wonderful photos like these!
ReplyDeleteVery cute photos! I am looking for a meadow like this for my daughter's 1st birthday photo shoot.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous! I wish I could do a photo session like this with my family, alas my almost 3 year old would be running all over the place. I can't keep up with her energy! :)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing this sweet cherub pop up on my screen! Oh my goodness, what a beautiful meadow! I wish I could find a place like that here in Florida - this time of year, I'm pretty sure our meadows are all brown and parched! You have a beautiful family, and just about the happiest baby I've ever seen! Gorgeous photos! Is it harder to set up a shot when you're doing your own family session?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your lovely comment Erica! I'm sure our meadow will be brown and parched too if this sun keeps up, I shouldn't complain though, this is Ireland after all so any bit of sun is welcomed! No not at all, I took the pictures of Tyler Lee on his own and with his Daddy and then my other half took the camera to take shots of him and I together. We must invest in a tripod for shots of the three of us together :)
DeleteWhat beautiful images! I love the slightly matte processing; completely different style to mine but really works.
