Gosh I love photographing teens. It’s not only that they don’t run from my camera like little kids sometimes will, but it’s a beautiful time of their lives (which they may not appreciate until later, haha). For parents, I imagine, it’s a time of major headaches but also heartache to know their children are growing up and preparing to leave the nest. Which makes me realise how very important it is to have family portraits taken at this stage, to capture the beauty/awkwardness/confidence/insecurity of adolescence. This is my friend and fellow photographer, Hayley and her gorgeous family. We came up with the idea of taking each other’s family photos, so recently we travelled down to Phillip Island to have our photos taken on a farm adjacent to Hayley’s studio. (you can see my family shots here - thanks again Hayley!). Hope you like these ones.
