So a few weeks ago I met up with the Croucher family to do the family portraits.
Now, I've photogaphed Dave, Jodie and little Lauren before as part of the Dale Family Shoot at Cliveden, so we decided to use the same venue again for this shoot.
It was a lovely day and we had a good time. Little Zoe loved being in front of the camera, but unfortunately little Lauren seems to have developed an aversion to cameras and I had to use every trick in the book to try and coax her into position. Most of the time the answer I received was an absolute - NO! followed by her walking as far away from me as possible ;-).
Even with all of this going on, I am quite pleased that I still managed to get a few nice ones of her although she was hardly ever smiling. We agreed that for the next time we will probably try and do Lauren at home (in familiar surroundings) and away from a large group scenario, as she has not liked the experience on both occasions.
Sometimes children just don't like the pressure and expectation that a shoot of this proportion demands, and they show it in the only way they know how. I would always recommend that we then start with the basics in her familiar surroundings to build up her confidence and trust.
So without further ado, here are a selection of images from the day.
This is probably my absolute favourite image from this shoot, I just love those tights!
