I really wanted them to do stuff on the spot where I'd set the lights up for, but there's no chance... the last thing I wanted to do was to stop the energy they'd generated by playing: if i'd told them to both stand still and direct them, they'd loose it, I could just tell. I'd probably put the lights higher up, futher away and on higher power next time to get a bigger coverage of light. I may put one at 3PM, 9PM (both pointing in from the sides) and one behind me on lower power to get a "sin city" lighting effect (we did that once at a 4-togs session) Ah well - next shoot is Sunday if the flu passes :-) Cheers Mandy – this shoot was “experimental” to say the least, they were not paying, just a “TFCD” deal, so I can use them for promo work and they get shots to give away as Xmas presents.

Kids photography is not for the faint hearted, everyone thinks it's easy because they have photographed their own kids with a camera phone but it's hard work. I try to make the sessions I shoot as fun as possible so that everyone goes away happy and not traumatised!! I love it though because there's any honesty with kids you just can't make up!
