When Cara contacted me to do her family’s photos I knew it was going to be fun! I had an outdoor maternity session with Cara and her boys back in feb last year and her twins made me work for it (they’re the pure definition of double trouble 😂) but it was so much fun and I honestly loved their cheekiness. When the time came for Olivers cake smash, the twins were their usual cheeky selves nearly tucking into the cake before Oliver even had a chance 😂.
I love big family shoots, I know as a photographer it can be a little bit more difficult dealing with more people than usual but i really loved it, and I love that these photos will be cherished in the years to come. Coming from a large extended family I knew how cherished these images will be, but I also wanted to make sure we actually had fun so the smiles were genuine 😉
There is SO much to remember when it comes to these shoots, and I love them! Being the youngest in my family I’m used to my family dynamic and getting attention when needed (I’m pretty loud on the best of days) so that part is totally fine. But it’s the intricate nature of larger families, the partners who have married into the family, the sisters, the grandparents, the cousins, the aunties, the siblings, the parents - theres a lot of special relationships in there that NEED to be captured authentically and while I love posed shot, it’s all the little moments in between that really make you smile when looking at these images.
Happy Viewing!
