One of the highlights of my career is the ongoing relationship that I have with many of my clients.
When couples come to see me to book their wedding photography, I often take them around my photographic studio and explain that this is where they will come back and visit some years later when they have children. They all look at me and smile either with that “Yes hopefully” gaze, or “Let’s take this one step at a time” look.
This week I got a call from Michelle. “Hey remember me?” she asked. I know that I’m getting older, but my memory isn’t that bad yet. I photographed Michelle & Ron’s beautiful wedding in the grounds of Inner Temple exactly 2 years ago. “We’ve just had a gorgeous daughter who is 10 days old today” she continued, “and I would like some photos please”.
The following day Michelle came round with her mum and this tiny, beautiful, blond haired, pink baby. We had a lovely session where I photographed the baby from every conceivable angle using a continuous lighting system that I have from Photon Beard. I find that this type of lighting works better when photographing babies. The baby doesn’t flinch every time the flash pops, because the light source stays constant. It creates a warm working environment, and the bright lights seem to keep babies awake for longer.
Thank you Michelle for coming back to use my services once more, and for introducing me to your beautiful daughter.
