I photographed Jyoti and Sam’s wedding a few years ago and was delighted when I received a phone call asking me to photograph their 8 month old little girl, Priya. With an imminent move up North, we decided to hold the shoot in the village they presently live near Stamford, this way the photographs would always fill them with memories of where their little girl spent her first few months.
I had a great shoot on Saturday with Isobel and Zak, a couple of cool teenagers. They took me to one of their favourite hang outs, a series of linked ponds, where they like to go and have fun with their friends. For brother and sister, the pair got on great and we got some stunning shots of them, which I hope their parents will love?
I was back with the Ireland family this afternoon to capture a few more shots of baby Liam with mum and dad. We last photographed Liam just before Christmas when he was only four weeks old and how he has grown is the last four months.
I had an interesting assignment on Wednesday when I shot an authors publicity images for her new book. The book is a thriller set in the 1500’s with the main character coming from Cambridge, so finding backgrounds with the right architecture was out first priority. Even though I know Cambridge quite well, it surprised me how many areas we visited that I never knew existed.
I was confronted by another hot day when I arrived at the Cuney household in Cambridge. The brief was to capture little Daniel with his grandparents who had come across from France. With neither speaking English and my French being pretty basic, I thought we may encounter some problems, but children just seem to bring all those around them together. We spent an hour letting Daniel totter around the garden, exploring anything he could get his hands on and generally having fun with all his family.
