Far and Wide

Another family shoot, just before Christmas, so the discs made great pressies, and the shots were going as far abroad as Singapore.

This family wanted shots done of all the sisters while one was over from Singapore (no she isn't singaporean just resides there).

A Mother, her three daughters (one with hubby), and four grandkids.

The weather was perfect and the location allowed for a couple of different backdrops.

The kids were well behaved and all had a good time. We even roped two local surf life savers into the shoot aswell.

Early On

Thought I would blog one of the first shoots I was asked to do. It was a christening, which to me was going to be challenging, for a couple of reasons.

1) It was in part an inside shoot, which I was extremely concerned, I had only really shot outside and 2) the godmother of the little boy being Christened is an extremely accomplished photographer and short film maker. To me there was no greater pressure. Yes, I was extremely nervous.

Beach photos were fine, no dramas, as Mum and Dad had their wedding photos at this particular jetty, they had created their own tradition of having family shots done there every year.

Onto the church, more family shots with extended family, then inside for the ceremony itself. A very pretty little church. I was nervous about shooting inside, as I didnt want to set the camera to auto, and have the flash going off left, right and centre. So I found myself with a mixture of shots and I did use the flash on occassions. All the while wondering what others where thinking.

I wasn't unhappy with what I acheived that day, but do look at every session as a learning curve. I think we need take something from every session that we shoot, to improve.

A Blooming Belly

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of capturing a girlfriends belly in full bloom, she was only a week and a half away from welcoming her gorgeous little girl into this world.

I loved working with her and trying to capture shots I knew she would treasure for ever...we had a beautiful old chaise lounge to work with, along with black velvet, and bright pink tiger lillies, we also utilised the natural surroundings of the nearby beach and jetty.

Although tiring for the mother to be, we got some wonderful shots.

Beachside Fun

Think I should have called this beach challenge and where I should have heeded the old adage of never work with children or animals, but I am sure Master Jacob had fun while I was trying to get the shots we wanted. The goal of the day was to get some family shots for to a) put up on the wall and b) to get printed framed and given to family as christas gifts.

We made the shoot late in the day, giving Jacob time to attend to his social calendar in the morning and also get a nap in during the afternoon, in hoping that he would be fresh and ready to go, not grumpy.

Well he wasn't grumpy, but being a toddler wasn't going to listen to anyone let alone let be get the shots that Mum had requested. So I improvised following him around (trying to keep up) with camera and snapping away.

We did manage to get a few mother/son shots, and also father/son shots, nothing like I had envisioned in my head, so was a little disappointed, but I still think I got some lovely natural shots.
