Lynne Binnie’s Children with Cousins – ‘Framed Portrait’

Posted in Portrait with tags , , , , on December 17, 2008 by Chris

I’ve been looking forward to blogging this shoot!  Lynne contacted me through my website asking if I could get a portrait of her children along with cousins. She wanted a picture of all 5 grand children for the grand parents.  

So the shoot was set for a sunday afternoon! It was good fun and very hard work (LOL) Typical children, full of life & energy  – ideal for stunning kids portraits!

In an ideal world, children will sit and smile straight into the camera, but that doesn’t always happen and in my opinion it’s better when they  just run about as you can capture them how they are in real life!  

I must admit I was shattered at the end but I knew I had some cracking shots on the card and drove straight home to start editing!

With the amount of life and energy these guys had I knew we probably didn’t get the best images of them altogether so I suggested we do individual shots and design a frame to suit. 

Check out the images and the frame, it’s time like this I realise I really do have the best job in the world!

Alexander Kerr & Family

Alexander contacted me through the website for family portraits.  What I remember about this night which I didn’t tell them was I nearly fell flat on my face  outside their house on the pavement, it was so cold  the road was like a sheet of ice and my car was registering -4 driving up to Armadale.

Alexander wanted family pictures of his family so we had his Mum and Dad, sister and boy friend and his gran!

 

After just 10 mins of setting up and discussing a bit about ‘I’m a Celebrity get me out of here…’  we were ready to shoot!

Some brilliant family images, I enjoyed the session, I hope you all did too
