Cuddling brothers : Studio Portraits

April 23rd, 2009

I had a busy Saturday this weekend with a viewing and a shoot – weekends are popular with my customers as I’m sure you would expect with any photography studio. On Sunday, the studio was free in the afternoon and so my wife and I took the opportunity to get a few pictures for our own walls.

Our youngest, Jamie, nearly 2, is very generous with his cuddles at the moment and we wanted to capture him and his brother engaged in a cuddle – we think they look very cute together.  Jamie and William wanted to see the results of their efforts immediately and so we had a viewing of the unprocessed pictures – I use an Epson projector aimed at the back wall of the studio for viewings.

Tring, Watford or Mead Open Farm? Impromptu children’s location portraits!

February 20th, 2009
Edlesbrough Church

Edlesbrough Church

Today is the last day of half term for our eldest son and I’m looking after him and his younger brother, so the question was should we:

  • go shopping in Watford
  • visit the natural history museum in Tring
  • or visit Mead Open Farm

As you might guess, Mead Open Farm was the winner. So off we went via Edlesbrough (stopping for a quick picture of the church) and on to the object of the children’s desire! I’m new to this 1/2 term thing, I should have expected it, yes, every other parent from miles around decided that’s the place to take the kids today. I’ve never seen it so busy, the car park was full, as was the overflow. I decided that we wouldn’t brave the crowds, we headed back towards Berkhamsted and stopped at the Common. Both the boys were wearing their wellies and so they went for a walk and I followed them armed with my Canon EOS 5D.  The youngest is still a toddler at 20 months old and isn’t too experienced at running through fields or the woods, he ended up on his bottom quite a lot but at least he was enjoying exploring all around him (even what was on the bottom of his boot!).

Now it’s time to go and feed the ducks down by the canal :-) and no doubt William will want to go for a Bambinocino at one of the coffee shops after.
