The benefit of the subject being your own child is that the shoot can be done over several hours, meaning that you are more likely to get the exact shots you are after, and that you don't need to stop until you've nailed it. This shoot took two days, several naps, three feeds and at least one nappy change.
Now I think I'll let the photos do the talking, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
As always, click the photos for a larger version.

ReplyDeleteThanks Slyv :) I thought I'd make a blog cos I was getting tired of spamming facebook. This is much better for sharing, and storytelling.
ReplyDeleteIsaac sure is a handsome little man - gets that from me, I reckon :P - and he's fitting in really well at home too, so everyone's happy. :)
