Isn’t it crazy that after 12 years in this business I still get nervous before a session. Not nervous in a way that I think, oh goodness, am I capable of doing this, but more in a way that’s directed at my personality. Such as, will they be comfortable around me, will they open up and interact in front of me as they would old friends? Will the kids enjoy my humour? Honestly, questions that I couldn’t possibly ever know the answer to, unless I put myself out there and simply be me.
So that’s what I do. I give my head a good shake, sometimes it takes a mental kick in the arse, and I jump in with both feet. And guess what, it always seems to work out just fine. We find something in common or we just slowly fall into a comfort zone of sorts, and together we capture sincere expressions, moments, and even portraits.
With this beautiful family it was a pretty immediate sense of comfort for me. The four of you made me feel at ease, almost instantly! I very much enjoyed working with you and capturing your family dynamic. Thank you for the laughs we shared and the ease in which you allowed me to photograph you. I hope you enjoy not only the images that we created together, but also the experience of having your family photographed!
Enjoy your peek!
