This trio of siblings didn’t know what to expect when I arrived to take their portraits, but by the time I’d finished with them they had enjoyed the experience and had lots of fun. For this family photo shoot, I was able to take advantage of the winter light, the last beautiful colours of Autumn, as well as be entertained by a bit of teenage angst and sibling rivalry. It always takes a while for everyone to relax and get used to having my paparazzi lens pointed straight at them, but after wandering around looking for different places to pose, we began to have a laugh and got into the all important ‘photo zone’ where the magic happens! I’m always thrilled when the most camera shy of people, find their confidence and forget about feeling self-conscious!!! It was also lovely to receive such wonderful feedback from the children’s mother who commented that “The set of pictures makes an amazing snapshot in time, and I’m so glad that you did them. It was a very positive experience for the children too, great for their confidence.”
