At the end of a viewing session, a beautiful client asked me whether I could help with a family photographic project. She explained that her parents have an extended family photo from when she was a child and that she’d love to recreate it. Her ‘Granny’, who’s 90 this year, sits respectively in the middle surrounded by her children and grandchildren. I can imagine it was a proud moment for young Granny.
I don’t even know if we have such a photo in my family but if we did and if my grandparents were alive, I would love to recreate it too. So naturally, I said yes, I would LOVE to help.
There was a lot of planning for the day… and a lot of shopping too I’m sure :) It was fun, it was uplifting. It was an experience that, as a family photographer, I am so very proud to be part of. This family has joy and laughter, but more importantly, this family has Granny.
As a family photographer there is nothing more wonderful to me than being invited to capture precious moments like these for Rach and Joe. Their adoration and love for their ‘little’ Olli is just beautiful and I wish upon all children such devotion. It warms my heart and makes me so happy ‘going to work’! Cherish these moments my friends because cheeky monkeys have a habit of growing up way too fast.

TIPS: I get a lot of questions about clothing so here’s my thoughts on the classic black top & blue jeans look from this session.
This simple design is timeless and has a youthful, modern appeal. There’s no risk of clashing or overpowering colours. The focus is purely on expressions and environment. As you can see, it can also be very effective in creating a sense of unity and ‘group’ everyone together. It also lends very well to black and white conversions because of the lack of competing colours.
