I’m in a very privileged position, to have had my company running now, for three and a half plus years already, and still going strong. One thing I have learnt, a very big thing that has helped me something fiercely along my way, is to keep connections warm, and to always keep your relationships in good standing. Doing Family Photography for previous clients, is always great.
I feel very grateful, and proud, when clients who have booked me before, book me again for their photographic needs. This wonderful mother has worked with me before, and when their beautiful baby boy arrived, and she phoned me again for stunning photos of the three of them, as baby keeps on growing.
We’re blessed with long summers and relatively mild winters so we get to enjoy a lots of Family Photography time throughout the year. We enjoyed an afternoon at the park for this family’s shoot, their second for this year, as mom wants to document their little man’s first year well.
He was full of smiles, and found his daddy very funny.
It’s important to keep your lenses, and their heads where it connects to the camera clean, because they can stop to work, and malfunction right in the middle of a shoot. This happens at times, without us knowing, when we have to change lenses often, and dirt can get trapped in there.
For most of this shoot, I used my longer 50-140mm lens – probably the best buy of this year for my kit. It is just a wonderful lens, very sharp, and fast, with bokeh, which we all love, giving such a great separation from the background.
I like to shoot in RAW, and give my image’s colour in post-production. It’s still not fully Spring yet, and Spring’s colours haven’t arrived yet, but we do have some of winter’s yellow left, and this also made for a beautifully toned shoot. Family Photography outdoors, what fun.
