My family blogging has been a bit behind! But there was no ways I was ever not going to blog this gorgeous family!
I first met Cecile a few years ago when we did a styled shoot for her …and I loved her ….she was and is a very special lady! So when she contacted me to do a family shoot of her family as a gift for her parents …I was so excited to see her again and meet her special people! Needless to say it was like meeting up with an old friend when I saw Cecile …she still has a special place in my heart!
Her nephews were the cutest little boys you could imagine. They were busy and active, as little boys are meant to be! Someone randomly asked me the other day if all family shoots were perfect and that she kept putting off a family shoot cos her children weren’t perfect …..well ….let me just say ….no family shoot is perfect …there are moments of imperfection ….but there are always moments of pure perfection …natural moments ….moments of families interacting in their own special, unique ways!
All it takes is for everyone to relax ..and thats my job …..I know children have their moments ….tantrums, crying is all part and parcel of being a child …just like smiles, chuckles and joy, …and I am pretty patient enough to wait for those moments! So my answer to parents who are afraid that their children wont behave during a family shoot ……dont worry about it …..I have had three of my own ….I know there are no perfect families, they also have short attention spans before they are bored ….but they are your family ….the one you need to create memories with before they grow up too fast! Dont regret not taking those photos ….I know I do!!!!
