A Cheshire care provider has celebrated the individual lives of the clients it cares for with a fun professional photoshoot.
SureCare Central Cheshire, which provides a range of care services to people in Nantwich and Audlem to enable them to carry on living in their own homes for longer, organised the fun photography session.
Ann, 92, a former model, who was photographed in her garden, said: "It was such a fun day and lovely to visit a part of my garden which I hadn't been to in such a long time. I was pleased that my dog Amei came along for the photos too.
"I think the photographs are excellent. I thought I looked old, but at the age of 92 you can't look anything but old.
"he whole photoshoot idea really made me feel part of something and took me straight back to my modelling days."
Ken, 71, who had a career in social care before retiring, said: "Having my photograph taken was a very uplifting experience and I'm delighted with the pictures."
Gary, 72, an army veteran, who was photographed on his red motorised scooter alongside care manager, Sarah Castelow, said: "I miss the camaraderie from my army days and love to have a laugh with my carers.
"The photoshoot was good fun, and I enjoyed speeding up the scooter to make sure Sarah had to keep up with me."
Betty, 92, a former primary school teacher, said: "I don't normally like having my photograph taken but I was very pleased with how they turned out."
Director of SureCare Central Cheshire, Kirstie Hercules, which is based in Nantwich said: "We wanted to take some photographs to show the real lives of our residents.
"We knew it would be uplifting but we didn't realise just how moving it would be, as the people we cared for opened up and shared their memories."
Co-director of SureCare Central Cheshire, Tina Jones, said: "Everyone got so much out of the day that we want to repeat it to bring more smiles and to showcase some of our superb carers who provide incredible care to the people we look after."
All clients and carers have been presented with printed copies of their photographs, which were taken by Paul Elliot Photography.
SureCare Central Cheshire has an overall 'Good' rating with the Care Quality Commission and is rated as 'Outstanding' in the caring category.
