Older Children and Families

17th March 2011

Older children need a different approach to babies, obviously. Luckily I don't seem to have a problem emulating the mindset of children and my passing knowledge of Moshi-Monsters, Ben10, ZuZu Hamsters all helps. To get really lovely natural looks off children, one of the big secrets is never to say "Smile". I find saying "Bottoms!" works much better.

If your kids are a little reluctant to be scrubbed up for a shoot, why not pair up with a friends kids, they will relax quicker, you open the white wine and I'll chase them round the park until those canvasses for the wall or Granny's Christmas present are in the bag. Drop me a line to pencil in a date..

“ Jim was fantastic from start to finish.My children instantly liked him and he had them laughing in no time at all with his funny jokes and funny things to say instead of smile which gave a more genuine smile than a forced smile which my children tend to do.I was more than pleased with the end product and my parents were also thrilled at their wedding anniversry present of their grandchildren.I would definatly recommend Jim for any future work. ”

“ Our two daughters arranged a photo session at home and presented us with two stunning photo's for our 25th wedding anniversary, both now proudly framed in our kitchen. A beautiful present and all very professionally presented and great fun for the two girls at the same time.Well done Jim, yet another success story! ”
