After having to abandon the first few attempts due to the classic British weather, we finally managed to take advantage of a sunny bank holiday Monday for Emily’s photoshoot. The setting was the magnificent Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire, a former private estate now owned by the National Trust. Its rambling parkland covers over 3,800 acres – perfect for taking some lovely natural photos with Emily, who had just started to walk. She had also recently celebrated her first birthday, so these lifestyle family portraits of Emily with her mum and dad, Rebecca and Duncan, capture a really special moment in time. Emily is a real character, a proper little monkey who is enjoying finding her feet, and who apparently has a taste for sticks!
