Bluebell Mini's
Here in the UK we have some incredible bluebell displays. Each spring, special woods are transformed by a shimmering carpet of purple and blues. They provide the perfect setting for imaginary adventures, and a unique location for some special photos or a fairy adventure with the kiddies. This is one of my favourite times to take photos because it’s the start of Spring, which means England is starting to get warm YAY and I am a sucker for some sun. Over the years doing bluebell shoots I have come to appreciate and have a real love for the bluebells.

DID YOU KNOW?
Bluebells are protected by law- under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it is a criminal offence to uproot, pick or trample on them deliberately. Bluebells can take years to recover after footfall damage. If a bluebell’s leaves are crushed, they die back from lack of food as the leaves cannot photosynthesise.
