With the mild winter this year, the bluebells have come earlier than usual and have led to a fantastic display.

I undertook a family portrait session in
the bluebell woods around Ashridge (just outside of Berkhamsted) just over a week ago. The
session took place in an enchanted bluebell wood that was selected to give a
lovely backdrop to the spring colours this season. The two children were able to explore the
carpet of bluebells, peep out from behind trees and generally enjoy doing what
kids do – playing and having fun!

After a week of glorious weather leading up
to the session, the weather turned on the day of the shoot with showers
threatening. Fortunately the weather
just held out for us and we were able to make the most of the criss-crossing of
forest pathways to get some great angles and locations.

The canopy of beech trees and their
stunning foliage gave some great light and would have provided shelter should
the weather have turned.

We had a great session in the bluebells and
were able to capture a set of lovely photographs which the family will treasure
for the future.
Check out some of my bluebell landscape photos taken at the same location after the family shoot had finished over on my Facebook page.
