Earlier in October, I had a chance to see a lovely old client of mine, for the autumn family photoshoot in Richmond. One of the joy of my work is to see the families over time, see how the children has grown up in a year or two, plan for new ideas to photograph and be creative on how to make the new shoot different to the ones before!
One of the surprises I usually get is when talking to the older kids who remember our last shoot and the photos so this time feel more involved in the planning and preparation and offering ideas. Also giving you more ideas on what to do with the photos this time! ( Yes! expect to be surprise, hearing a 4-5 year old advice: ” I think this time we should hang the photos in the hallways in a new way and … ” it goes on..
My ultimate goal being for the children to remember these moments and value their family memories, that participation makes me feel I have done my job! The kids are engaged and believe in what we do!
