Getting a grip


One of the most surprising aspects of diving into professional photography has been discovering the fun of family portraits. Kids can often be a handful - one day I'm going to put together a gallery of "pulled-face-photos" that would be a complete riot - but the energy and creativity they inject is a reason to pick up a camera in the first place. But keeping your own mind agile and creative can be a challenge when juggling the logistics of posing the family and constantly moving lights and backdrops. So I'm quietly chuffed when I can capture some small moment amid the hubbub, like the tiny fingers of little Matt, a three-month-old from a shoot this weekend.
