What an amazing day I had last Wednesday.
My old school friend, Karen, asked me a few weeks ago if I could take some photos of her gorgeous boy, Thomas & his little friends. Many of the mummies had met at their local NCT group.
I was a little nervous about doing this, but excited at the same time. I have only ever taken photos of my children, their friends & my friend's children. To be honest, I could do with learning more about lighting & the many tricks regarding shutter speed. I was hoping to be able to take the photos outside in a garden or a park. But the good old British weather put pay to that! Thankfully, my friend, Karen had a lovely big lounge with a huge bay window letting in a lot of light.
One by one, a mummy with a gorgeous babe in arms arrived.
I crawled around on the floor chasing after them to get just the right angle, or capture a moment of one of them with their mummy. Pegs were the toy of the day. Oh how I'd forgotten how easily pleased babies were. Buy them the most plush toy & they they are happiest with a peg! ;)
In my wisdom, I asked the mums if they wanted a group photo of the babies. It was just before dinner time & were getting a little grouchy. Bubbles saved the day! :)
I've just got to edit the hundreds of photos now & I'm hoping they'll all be happy with their shots.
Thank you so much for asking me Karen, I loved every minute.
