I was surprised when asked if it was okay to bring a few boys to one of our Clique sessions. I thought it was great but based on the experiences with my step daughter who seems to want nothing to do with boys I was not expecting to have this opportunity. But I am glad I did. It made it a totally different experience and the photos turned out great. In fact it has made me think that it may even be possible to have a party entirely for boys. Although I won’t be suggesting this to my step son. I can just imagine the look on his face if I did. He prefers something a bit more on the adventurous side like rock climbing. But then again, he is rather sick of being stuck in front of the camera as he gets it a lot from me. <\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>In this case though, these boys truly seemed to enjoy being in front of the camera. That made it so much more fun for me and so much easier. I think a couple of them have been practicing in front of the mirror before coming out. They seemed to know exactly how to smile (or not) for the camera. They each gave a little attitude with a little smile, a combination that worked perfectly.<\/p>\n

And thanks to I believe it was Harry for suggesting that I photograph Bethan’s feet as he<\/a>r shoes and tights were very interesting. So I ended up photographing both her feet and Harry’s and I think I might make a point of doing that more often. I really like colours and images like these would make excellent components in one of my composite collections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>The group photo I am particularly pleased with. It was the first I have done of this nature and so much fun. And believe it or not actually easier than if I had squashed all 8 together in a single image. Getting 8 people to look in the right direction, with the perfect expression all at exactly the same time is nearly impossible. Creating a group shot with 8 individual photos is considerably easier in some ways. By creating a group from individuals photos I was able to choose the best photo of each person and piece them together a bit like a jigsaw. Time consuming yes, but satisfying and rewarding too, particularly when the end result works as well as this one does. <\/div>\n
