I asked them to sit still for a photo…

..and this is what I got. I think it’s hilarious. Gorgeous, gorgeous kids. Two are mine, and two are our neighbours kids.

Ah…someone finally looked my way.

Things did get better after that. This awesome family are our neighbours (kind of. They are not living next door right now, they are living in Adelaide while their new house is being built). Recently we flew over to Adelaide to visit them and had a fabulous time playing on the beach, which is practically on their doorstep the lucky things.

Totally, like, awesome

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.

Keeping with tradition

February 6, 2010 – 10:14 pm

Having your photo session at the family home has a number of advantages all round. As much as I love location shoots, a session at home means a) I get to have a cup of tea before we start; b) wardrobe options can be viewed and discussed over said cuppa; and c) the family pet gets to have a photo too. :). It has now become a bit of a tradition for me to grab a shot of any four legged friends who wander into the frame. Today’s delightful family had two pretty little cats, one of whom posed nicely for me (the other one was too quick, lol).
