My Philosophy
In my mind. there’s nothing worse than being told to stand in front of a camera and say ‘cheese’. Not only does it make you immediately feel uncomfortable, but freeze the moment anyone says ‘cheese’ and there’s a danger they will look like one of those Creature Comfort characters (remember them?).
I want you to look back on photos of family and recognise the smile or the silly face, I want to see natural images of natural interactions. This is what I want from my family’s pictures, it’s absolutely what I want from your family’s gallery too. I want you to see your pictures and smile at the memories, not cringe at the recollection of that excruciating shoot where everyone felt so uncomfortable.
I want us to have fun on a shoot so you need to know I’m going to be the kind of person you’ll get on with. That’s SO important.
