The McLean Family Lifestyle shoot

The Sunday I had the McLean family in my diary was a dull rainy day and extremely blustery. I remember this as I'd scouted out a venue I'm due to shoot a wedding at and hoped it wouldn't be the same weather on the big day! Fortunately, it brightened up an hour before I arrived at the McLean's! That meant there would be good light shining through the window. Phew.

I never really know what to expect when I arrive at a house where I'll be taking lots of photos. I'm always nervous, even though I've done it plenty of times. When I knocked on the door I was greeted with a really happy dad who seemed really pleased to see me. After that everything was fine. I had a lovely cuppa and chatted to the kids so they got used to the strange man with the camera!

It was a lovely house and you could just tell it was a really nice family home. I'm always amazed at other people's talents and the McLean family are all very musical. There were hit songs sung by choirs playing in the background, the piano was played and they all started singing. Quite magical really and something that really set the scene and helped us all to have a great time.

Here are a selection of my favourite images, hope you like them.
