Cheshire Family Photography Macclesfield forest wholesome natural portraits

If there is one place in Cheshire that offers a fully diverse range of backdrops for natural portraits, it's Macclesfield Forest, on the edge of the Peak District. It doesn't matter where in the forest I'm working this is somewhere I enjoy returning to time and time again. This meadow by the Standing Stones car park created the perfect playground for this lively family. By not being contained to one small area it allowed their personailties to roam free, in both the loud and the quiet moments.

I absolutely loved capturing these wholesome family portraits, blending playful moments, with loving connections and the odd traditional portrait. Are you looking for a Cheshire family photographer to capture your own woodland adventure? I'd love to hear from you. F.A.Q.
