Private Portrait - December 08






When you have 4 children aged between 2 and 11 to photograph, it's hard to find one way to keep them all interested. What catches the younger ones' attention, bores the oldest and vice versa. However, getting the older children involved in keeping the youngest entertained often keeps everyone busy and happy! This photo session was great fun because it was in the client's home so all concerned were relaxed and confident and as a result it didn't take long for us to start getting some great results. What I always forget is that the more people there are to photograph, the longer a session takes - sounds obvious when you write it down - because there are more people to organise and interact with. There are also more individual shots to take and other combinations. Whereas a 1 person shoot might take 45 minutes, with time to chat and get to know each other; 4 people will take more like 90 minutes.
