the holding family

Many of you will have seen photographs of Steve and Julia on Facebook, from when I have been photographing them at work in The Pig and Pastry, for our forthcoming cookbook. A few weeks ago I went over for a fantastic Sunday lunch at their house and to capture their family for them.

It was really lovely to spend time away from work with the whole family, getting to know their three children more, having a glass of wine (or two) and eating Julia’s superb chicken pie.

Steve and Julia came for their portrait viewing last week, and it was so lovely to see their expressions when they first saw these images.

I’m really looking forward to getting their choices beautifully framed and delivering them to The Holding household in a few weeks time. It will be lovely to see the children again, and also Giles, the ex guide dog for the blind. I just hope he hasn’t been stealing the kid’s chocolate this time… mind you his guilty dog expression was a classic!
