<\/a><\/div>\nKnowing what they wanted enabled me to concentrate on getting the best for them in each of those 3 portraits. In the past I’ve found that I can spread myself too thinly trying to produce a multitude of variations in order that the clients have lots to choose from. And although I still want my clients to have variety, I am increasingly aware that if I try to do too much I risk reducing the overall quality from that session. It is better to reduce the variety and maintain the quality in my opinion since quality is a very high priority of mine. <\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\nNot to mention, there is no point in causing a baby, or even a child, stress and aggravation of having to work to get a multitude of portraits when we can focus on what is actually wanted. <\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\nAmazingly we had an easy go of photographing this lovely little boy, particularly considering he was just over a month old, rather than the 2 weeks or under I prefer for newborns, and much to the surprise of Mum and Dad who didn’t often get to enjoy such a lengthy amount of peace and quiet. Once we got him off the weighing scales where he wanted to continually stretch his legs out he lied peacefully and in quite a deep sleep on the beanbag leaving me to photograph him endlessly. <\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\nI love a sleeping baby and I could shoot for ages, forever finding different angles or a slightly better way to prop babies head up. I actually have to consciously tell myself to stop before I shoot far more than we could possibly need, making more work for me during the selection stage. <\/p>\n
