In honour of this post, I have prepared a short poem for you…
There once was a girl
Who had a little curl
Everywhere
And she was gorgeous.
OK, I don’t think it’s a prize winner but it’s certainly appropriate for this little visitor to the studio. This was her third Joey Club session and her mum didn’t fancy a cake smash or tub splash so we kept it simple and just captured her at her charming best. And she is indeed quite a charmer and has been at all of her sessions.
She’s also a very mobile charmer, eager to explore the world around her so we made sure to work fast to keep things interesting for her and provide her with different furniture options so it didn’t get stale. My pink chair came to the rescue once again – honestly, it’s been one of my best purchases when it comes to find a few seconds of stillness with mobile little people!
When your baby gets on the move, it can be hard to stop them. Can’t say I blame then where there are million more interesting things to do than pose for a camera. Still, it is our job to get pictures and so we work fast. There’s usually a little bit of ‘shock’ factor when they first enter the studio as a new environment and so we usually get a few minutes or more of grace while they are still and working out what they can get up to. Then once they’ve found their confidence and started to move, we also move to change things up for them and give them new distractions to keep them in one spot long enough. The shutter speed is 125th of a second and so we don’t need very long at all and after all these years, I’ve got pretty good and working quickly!
