Xavier, Cameron and Summer..photographing kids

Many years ago I started out as a school photographer and it has certainly helped me in the work that I do today when I photograph bridesmaids and pageboys at weddings. Although I don't advertise the fact that I do portraits I like to do one every now and then as it is fun and something a little different. On Saturday morning I headed north over the border into Scotland to photograph these three great kids Cameron, Xavier and Summer.

Sometimes it can be difficult breaking the ice with kids and getting them to feel comfortable with you but after a few minutes we were having fun. Big thanks to Billy the bear whose help I really appreciated I couldn't have done it without him and here he is...A tip for photographers if you can get the favourite toy off the child then this can really work to your advantage!!

I love the black and white of the three of them together and although it probably won't be the one that Grandma chooses I like the cheeky look on their faces and the way they are relaxed...



After taking some inside we headed to a local beauty spot they like to go to and took some of the kids outside, I love this one of Xavier, what a little cutie..



Thanks to Yann and Sharon for the cake and tea afterwards..loved it!

  1. Just wanted to send you a quick e-mail to say a very big thank you for the gorgeous photograph's of Sharon and I's wee darlings! We are so pleased with them.

    My husband was blown away with them and honestly can't believe you managed to get all three sat there, inside Sharon & Yann's! You really have managed to capture all of their little personalities in each of the photographs. Love the black and white of the three of them being cheeky on the chair, not to mention the walking along the path at Springkell. Your chocolate crispie cake was well deserved afterwards!

    We are planning to sit down this weekend to 'try' and decide on what to order. The great-auntie's and nana will probably add to that so please standby!

    Thank you once again Naomi for doing such a fantastic job. Take care.
