The lovely C Family first contacted me last year to capture some family portraits of their (then) family of five! We booked it in and started to look at some suitable dates, well it wasn’t long after that they discovered they were expecting baby number four!
Since it was really important that the whole family were part of these special portraits we decided to wait till baby Violet made her appearance and was old enough to take part in a session outdoors. Fast forward to April 2016 and I finally met the gorgeous Violet (now 5 months old) and her mum, dad, brothers and sister!
Our session at Auckland’s beautiful Cornwall Park was a blast! The kids were full of energy and fun and we did a few quick naturally-posed portraits then moved on to just having FUN! With a larger family there is no better way to capture the true dynamic and real personalities than to let everyone play and interact while I act as an observer and run around capturing it all behind the scenes. It’s such a relaxed way to be photographed and takes a lot of stress and pressure off Mum and Dad, not having to worry about the kids posing perfectly or ‘behaving’ for me!
If you have an energetic young family and have put off being photographed so far due to fear of the stress of it all, why not contact me about a relaxed and natural, outdoor Lifestyle Family Session? We can choose a location and activities that have meaning to you and I will be right there to encourage you, guide you, laugh with you and document the most important people and relationships in your life beautifully.
Say hello at info@kirstymckayphotography.com and I hope you enjoy this little glimpse into the C Family’s Autumn Session – it was so hard to narrow it down to just these few to share!
