My Top Reasons to Book a Spring Photoshoot in The Cotswolds – Maternity, Newborn & Family Sessions
There’s something truly magical about spring in the Cotswolds. The soft hills start to green, wildflowers begin to bloom, and there's a fresh, hopeful energy in the air. Whether you're expecting a baby, soaking in newborn cuddles, or wanting to capture your ever-growing family – spring is the season to do it
Wildflowers in every Direction
The countryside goes wild in spring – think cow parsley, ox-eye daisies, bluebells, blossom trees. And the best bit? It changes every week, so no two sessions ever look quite the same. We'll find a quiet field, a woodland path, or a meadow full of blooms, and just let the season do its thing while you snuggle, play and be yourselves.
It’s a Season of New Beginnings
There’s something about spring that just fits big life shifts. A growing bump. A brand new baby. A little one suddenly turning into a big one. It’s a season that quietly celebrates change – and that’s what makes it so special for documenting your family story.
Bedtime Friendly Timing
In spring, the sun sets at a much more manageable time – usually early evening – which means we can catch that soft, glowy light and still have everyone home for stories and snuggles. No overtired meltdowns, just a peaceful end to a beautiful day. You still get that dreamy golden hour light without keeping the kids up way past bedtime.
Soft, Golden Light
Spring sunshine is a gentle kind of light. It wraps around you instead of glaring down, and gives everything that dreamy, golden glow. Especially at golden hour – those last warm moments of the day are just magic. You’ll feel it in the photos.
Warmer Weather = Happy Kids
No red noses from the cold. No sweaty squirming in the heat. Just mild, lovely weather that means you can kick off your shoes and actually enjoy being outside together. Perfect for relaxed, playful sessions where nothing feels rushed or forced.
My diary’s open for maternity, newborn and family sessions across Gloucester, Cheltenham and the surrounding Cotswolds – and spring always fills up quickly, especially for evening golden hour slots.
Drop me a message – I’d love to plan something with you.
