Family portraits in the comfort of your own home are ideal when you have young children and babies. I remember the careful monitoring of sleep and feeding times and working out when your child will hopefully be in a more energetic mood.
This month i was lucky to meet the gorgeous ten month old Henry and his mum and dad who invited me into their lovely home on a wet Sunday morning. Henry had just woken up from his morning nap as i was setting up my studio in their living room and he was a delight to photograph. All smiles and giggles and was lovely to capture Henry and his Grandad together .
Just as much fun were two year old Rebecca and 6 year old Matthew who loved my giraffe and elephant ears. Seeing me dancing around with funny animal head bands on and making embarrassingly bad animal noise impressions was the perfect “shoe” for their sense of humour. I juts had to stop dancing in time to capture their reactions. I love this job! A cool apple juice drink and a little chocolate treat in the break kept me in favour with my young models too. We will be able to get some lovely Christmas cards for their family from this shoot.
