There are some times when I’m sorting through proofs after a photoshoot that I open one and say ‘wow’ (yes, I surprise myself sometimes too!!)
It’s usually when I come across a moment that I either didn’t remember capturing or where the child I’m photographing does exactly what you want them to do for a split second, just long enough for you to press the button (trust me, try getting a child to do anything you tell them let alone in front of a camera!).
For me – this was one of those shots:

(Trust me, it’s far better HUUUUGE where you can see every single detail in her eye, but for blog purposes this will have to do. The huge version can be reserved for her parents…
)
I love sibling sessions like today. I got to spend my morning with gorgeous little Emma who (as you can see from the photo) had the most massive eyes and pouty lips. Watch out dad – those boys will be after her!
She was a little serious one for me today – took a bit of coaxing but we finally managed to get that elusive smile shot her parents were hoping for!

Big brother Joshua was a classic – whilst Emma was fascinated by the camera, Josh knew to stay well away! We tried tickles, we tried songs, we tried playing with mum and dad – but in typical boy style, it wasn’t until we got him to show of his manly muscles that we finally got that smile (check out those guns!!!)

We took a walk down to the river near their house…

And had a play with their absolutely adorable fur-baby Zac

It was at this point that poor little Emma decided she had had enough (and I didn’t blame her)

And so we all came back to the house to finish up, including Zac who found the best possie in the house!

{Gayle – what a lovely morning! Thank you for having me capture it for you and I hope you enjoy the sneak peeks
