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?
After spending the last few days resting with a bad back, and last night taking care of a poorly son, I thought todays shoot with the Shah family would test all my professionalism, but nothing could be further from the truth!! Spending a morning running around a garden with hyper 2, 4 and 6 year old children isn’t everyones cup of tea, but I love it, especially when you end up with some great shots you know the family will cherish. The children kept me on my toes as we played hide and seek and tea parties whilst trying to get natural shots of them in perfect light. I left with a huge smile on my face and a lovely thank you letter from Aydna.
