This photo shoot took place at a local hotel - Down Hall, that I sometimes use as a base for sessions. And I love the way the light is streaming in behind Emily and the fact that she stood still long enough for me to capture this moment. It was a rare moment of stillness! I originally photographed her as a new baby, and have continued to do so every few months - which is an aspect of the job I really cherish: watching them grow and photographing that for their family.
The most challenging shoots for me to photograph are when a child is moving between the toddler and little girl/boy phase. They are fast on their feet and very independent minded, and will only respond to a limited amount of direction. Over the years I have learnt to go with the flow and just adapt the shoot to them. I personally love the variety this gives to my shoots, but it's also the reason a lot of other photographers don't like to photograph this age group.
