A Photographer's Delight

Last weekend, a close friend requested a photo shoot of her family. I have photographed her little girl numerous times and it has always been a pleasure. She's a little doll of a girl and her little brother has the most perfect strawberry blonde coloured hair with little curls that Mummy didn't want to cut until after the photographs had been taken...

It had been a hot sunny week, but as luck would have it, the rain arrived that morning, so we did what the British do best and had a cup of tea and waited. When the blue sky crept out from behind the clouds, we took a dash to the park which was wise as the sunshine only lasted an hour.

Usually an hour wouldn't be enough, but within minutes, both children were posing in complete unison and after only 15 minutes I already knew I had enough smiles that would have fulfilled any clients expectations. After a blissful hour of clicking this cute family smiling and laughing together, the clouds rolled over and before the weekend was over, they were all edited on my host page.

These are the shoots I challenge myself on the most. Once I know I have some 'banked' shots, I can then work at trying a few new things out. I came home on a high that day and decided it was high time I took some pictures of my own family!
