This lovely couple have been married for well over a decade, and are such an inspiration in how they still speak to and look at each other. Later today they will be joined by their eagerly anticipated son, and I just know that he will be welcomed with much love and respect. Good luck Z & I and see all 3 of you soon!
Just in time for Christmas! This shoot was a little different as the focus was entirely on the littles ... Ginny needed a festive portrait of her oldest son and thought that it might be a good opportunity to capture some images of all three kids horsing around at home. It can get a little tricky to navigate a kids-centric lifestyle shoot where you are not doing any posing, but together we managed to come up with a few little games (and snacks!) to get everyone in the mood. Thanks for playing along with Aunty Kerry!
Jarvis' mother mentioned right at the beginning of the shoot that she works with a lot of photographers and had been looking for someone suitable to photograph her newborn to no avail. Much as it may be uncool to admit - well, that made me a wee bit nervous! I think we hit it off immediately though as she was very clear about wanting something completely natural, unposed, and as far away from a 'baby in a basket' as possible. I could not have said it better myself.
This ended up easily being one of my favourite shoots of all time. Just a new little person hanging out in his home, and two new parents losing themselves in wonder over his presence. What a privilege to be allowed to share this with them.
I first met Zhing a few years (and what feels like a lifetime) ago, when she was helping to design and plan our wedding. It was really lovely to reconnect recently and as an added bonus, I got to photograph her small but perfectly formed family in their small(ish) but perfectly formed apartment. She recently shared a few of her favourite images of their morning routine on her own blog, http://www.little-project.com, and I thought I would follow up by sharing a few of my own favourites. This is a bit of a bumper crop as there were just so many sweet details of their family life to capture! From morning brekkie to family time in little Blake's room to getting Blake ready for school.
I spend most of my time shooting kids and families with kids, but every now and then, a special couple comes along with a special story. Goz and Phoebe got married in Singapore almost a year ago, but moved to Hong Kong shortly after to start their life together. A casual walk around their 'old' neighbourhood felt particularly meaningful and captured both the vintage loving side of Phoebe and the so-hip-it-hurts side of Goz.
