The Travelling Circus

On a late August bank holiday weekend we packed up our bags and kids and travelled to the beautiful Cotswold's Village of Shipton-Under-Wychwood for a weekend of fun, festivals and friends. It was the perfect opportunity to take the trunk of dressing up clothes and props and let the kids dress up and have fun. 

The weather on the day of the shoot was terrible, it rained until 5.30pm but as soon as it stopped we made the most of the late summer evening! Sometimes we are so busy photographing clients children or working on other projects that we don't have the time to photograph our own kids or our close friends children having fun together! I have now made a pact with myself to make the time for this more often. 

The shoot ended up being a great portrayal of childhood memories and traditional childhood dressing up themes; Pirates, Indians, gypsy women, lost boys, acrobat, the Ring Master - it was to me like a travelling circus! Stacey P&W
