This shoot took me into Manchester city centre for urban family portraits over in Castlefield, where the city began.

The morning of this shoot I opened the curtains to lucky March sunshine. It was first thing on a Sunday, the city still waking up. There were mum, dad, and three beautiful boys, running and playing around the Roman fort of Castlefield, where Manchester’s history began.

It’s also where this family’s history began; Lynda and Chris lived here when their eldest was born. We chatted about bringing up city kids, they played frisbee and football and the smallest eyed me up with a cheeky little stare.

I loved the co-ordinated outfits of this family. They weren’t too matchy matchy, but dressed in simple, comfortable clothes, in bright primary colours which complemented one another perfectly.

Chris and Lyn also picked our photoshoot location, which was perfect – there were wide open spaces to play, with arches and turrets to explore. And… I hear… family friendly restaurants for post-shoot pizza. Perfect.
