gill maheu photography: professional lifestyle portrait photography based in Annecy, Geneva, Rhone Alpes

oooooooooooooooooooo now this was a great afternoon in the grounds of the Chateau de Penthes, in Geneva – this couple and their kids are such very great fun!    the little one was a complete cheeky poppet, we got loads of gorgeous giggles from her, and her little baby sister reserved some lovely smiles for the camera.    i promised them a sneaky peek and here you go guys …

thank you for being such fun !!!  i’ll be in touch very soon x

what a brilliant idea for a surprise christmas present for dad  – a family portrait shoot!     sally, her gorgeous kids and i met up on a beautiful sunny morning not long before christmas to take some photos of the children down by the lake in annecy near the Hotel Imperial.    they all settled into the starring roles like pros – grinning, bubble blowing, jumping off benches … not to mention general larking around with each other – i just love how natural they all were, in fact they were so at ease there that even sally was tempted in front of the camera.  

and to finish off this brilliant mini shoot ?  ….well what could be better than

a seriously seriously chocolateley hot chocolate in the stylish bar at the Hotel Imperial – scrumptious !

thank you all for a wonderful morning   x

a perfect chilly december morning, clear skies, no snow and three brilliant boys with their mum on a mission to create a family photo for grandma for christmas!   the shore of the lake in annecy was the setting and we were so lucky with the weather for this mini shoot – within minutes the boys were so busy teasing each other and their gorgeous mum that they had totally forgotten their nerves about being in front of the camera. 

 all the best for the new year    x

how about this as the perfect way to start off the New Year !!!  part two of this gorgeous family shoot….

part one is here – hope you enjoy  x

 HAve a really really brilliant 2011 full of fun and happiness and everything else you wish for   xxx
