The Edginton Family

I recently had a photo session with the Edginton family at a local park in Swindon. Their 1-year-old daughter had her first photo shoot out of lockdown, and her blue eyes were stunning.

We captured some adorable candid shots of the little girl exploring the park and playing in the trees with her parents. The park's lush greenery and autumnal colours provided a perfect backdrop for the session, and the lighting was just right for some stunning shots.

Overall, it was a great experience capturing this beautiful family's memories. I'm grateful for the opportunity and wish them all the happiness as they continue to grow together.
