Practice shoot

I have a very important photoshoot coming up next month so I put a call out for a couple to practice on.  Lucky for me I had some takers and Anna & Ken came along for a late afternoon shoot by the river.  I spent some time scouting out locations, checking lighting and watching the clock and managed to snap some nice shots of this lovely couple.  The best part of doing these sessions is the people I am getting to meet and the variety of stories I get to hear.  As someone who hasn't always been the most extroverted person, it is giving me a great opportunity to improve my people skills. Huge thanks to this gorgeous couple for being so patient and I hope you like the shots I got :)

Sleeping beauty...

I have had quite a few sessions since my last blog post but will space them out a bit so as not to flood the page! 

 Firstly, I had the pleasure of photographing little Miss S who was just over a week old on the day of the session.  I arrived to find her sleeping peacefully in her bassinet and little did I know that this treasure would be a perfect angel for me. I was hesitant with every movement, trying desperately not to wake her but each time she stirred she drifted straight back to sleep! How blessed was I!!! While her mum looked on adoringly I took some photos that I hope her and her husband will treasure forever.  Being a Defence partner isn't always easy, and with partners away sometimes it's the little things that we hold onto for comfort.  Alison, I hope to take more photos of you together as a family in the near future  xo
