Kids Photography should be fun

September 21, 2016

People sometimes worry about whether their kids are going to photograph well during a portrait session. They just don’t seem to stop running and moving around. Their expressions change every few seconds. My kids just don’t sit still! That’s okay- I tell them. That’s kids photography.

I want your kids to have fun, that’s how I get the best photographs. It takes a lot of patience sometimes, but it’s a great feeling to know I can capture the life and personality of a family without torturing or stifling them. Family photographs should show the personality and life of a family. That’s what I aim to capture. So it’s okay if your kids don’t usually cooperate for photos. Your portrait session will be just fine!

After all, you don’t really want photos of forced smiles. You know the kind- when you ask for a smile they can’t help but stretch their face as far as it goes into a painful looking smile (yes, they all do it). So natural is best.  You want the photos to be a reflection of your kids personality. To be spirited and genuine- to have life.

My style of kids photography

When I say my style is relaxed and natural, it means I’m not spending a long time moving people into the perfect position. Instead I work with what makes people feel comfortable, and give direction. It’s really important that kids and adults alike feel comfortable in front of the camera. That’s when the magic happens!

I often make a game of what’s happening during a kids photography session. My style involves interacting with the kids so that they don’t feel they are simply being instructed. I might capture your natural interactions as a family while I stand back and let it happen. I also like to get in close and give you a bit of gentle direction to capture your faces towards the camera.

If you want to get your kids in front of my camera for a kids or family portrait photo session- contact me now!

Portrait Photography in Hallidays Point

September 6, 2016

Spring is here! So it’s time to bust out of winter with a Family Portrait Photography Session. I’ve got some beautiful photos to share with you, of recent family portrait photography in Hallidays Point.

If you have been meaning to get some family photos taken but haven’t got around to it- get in contact with me and organise them now, before things get hectic during the Christmas period. Then you will have plenty of time to organise what you want to do with them, and get them up on the walls of your home.

As a mum I know that time goes by way too fast as I watch my kids grow and go through different stages. And it’s so lovely to be able to hold those moments still. Of your little boy who is starting to lose his baby teeth, or your toddler who can’t stop running because they just learnt how! Every stage of family life is precious and I love being able to capture each family whatever stage they are at. When clients display the images from their photo session on their walls, I love it when they tell me how much joy it gives them to see those moments in time of their family. As you walk by photos each day in your home, it reminds you of what’s important in your life and makes us smile.

I had a great time with the Fitzhardinge family recently when I met them for a Family Portrait Photography Session at the beach in Red Head. I was in stitches most of the time from the funny things that were said, and had fun chasing them around the rocks and sand. These guys were great fun and are such a beautiful people- it was easy to capture their warmth.
