It's been a nightmare couple of weeks. Two weekends ago my daughter was sick (literally) and over the last week she had the most awful cough which had me sat in the bedroom with her most evenings. The cough has now turned into a horrible cold which has been shared round us all but at least the evenings are now relatively free again ;-0)
Before all this illness struck I was fortunate to have two studio family portrait sessions with two lovely families.
My morning session was focused on a lovely little boy and all his family. The star of the show was asleep on arrival, allowing me to get some photos of his grandparents and also of his Nan and two of her daughters. My original remit was to take photos of each grandparent and each parent with our little star, unfortunately when he woke up he wasn't having any of it and would only be photographed with himself in the spotlight, occasionally letting Mum and Dad share it with him. Although we had a few tears at times, we did manage to get some cracking shots of everyone, albeit not in the original planned groupings.
My afternoon session was aimed at getting some family shots as well as some shots of the two boys together and individually. This was to be interesting from the outset as the older boy decided he didn't want to have his photo taking ;-0) I started the session with photos of Mum and baby and soon moved on to baby on his own as he was having a great time and settled in really quickly. Mum and Dad then joined in and it wasn't long before big brother started to show some interest and decided he might like to have his photo taken afterall. We got some great shots and the two boys had a great time, even having a bundle and rolling round the floor at times and the youngest showing off his newly acquired walking skills.
I really enjoy my studio sessions, children and families are such fun and a pleasure to photograph and it's a really nice feeling when you show the photos back and see the pleasure they give.
