S. Family

We squeezed this photo session into the very end of last year.  I don’t normally do photo sessions between Christmas and New Years, but when a friend calls and asks for a time slot as her sister is in town with her family, I couldn’t say no.  They wanted to do a combined family session as a sweet gift to their mom.  Who would have thought that the weather would have been so lovely over winter, but we were lucky.

Both the older cousins wanted to give plenty of hugs to their younger cousin, and she was only too happy to receive them!  They were all so happy just playing with each other!

Meet the teacher

Meet this lovely family.  The mother is my son’s teacher.  She is the kind of teacher that he will remember for a long time, for all the good reasons.  She knows how far he can go, and will push him to get him there while making it fun and with no stress.  So when she asked me to take her family photos, I jumped at the chance and I wanted to make it as special for her and she makes my son’s time at school.

Her son is a little firecracker, red hair, freckles and a cheeky laugh that I adored.  At one point, his hand was covered in splinters.  If it was me, I would have called it a day and left, but he didn’t. He pulled each one out and carried on.  Massive bonus points to him for being a trooper.

The kite that you see in the photo?  if you happen to know the Dad, ask him how long it took for him to make it 🙂

 

D. Family

Rather than sending out Christmas cards, this family of 4 decided to send out Diwali cards.  She just wanted photos of her family looking pretty/handsome in their indian clothes, I wanted a little more than that.  I wanted a photo of her girl holding some diva’s.  She won, I failed 🙁  Her girl wanted none of it!  But it did make for some funny photos, and a lovely Diwali card.
