Hampshire Family Photographer – The Twins {and the outtakes}

elizabethhalford — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 19:50:57 +0000

Oy vey. What a session this was! :) I finally got around to the G. home to photograph the twins. You know the ones. You met them before they were born and then guessed their names and now they’re here! It was a pretty eventful session as you’ll see from the outtakes below. But with only about 20 mins to shoot, I think we got some keepers.

And the outtakes:

There was wee in every room by the time we were done!

Natalie's got a muslin I think she knew what was about to happen next...

...yup and there it is

Sam, I'm sorry I couldn't stop laughing at you :) You're such a good sport.

"Yeah, lady...you can go now"

She’s not expected to ever get up on her feet, but she’s still a ballerina princess.

Hampshire Children’s Photographer – Our Silent Angels

My baby Gracie May was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome just before her first birthday back in October. It’s been 8 months and isn’t it funny how you think you’ve learned all you need to know to get on with your new life? And then you meet the most beautiful little girls who make you realise you actually haven’t got a clue. Yesterday was one of those days. We met other RS families for the first time ever. Luckily it was sunny because there were a few tears streaming down from behind my sunglasses and today I feel completely drained from the emotions of it all.

These girls are all so similar yet so different. Some walked, some could touch their nose if you asked them to (hi, Frankie!) and others were in a chair like Gracie. I didn’t know whether to grasp onto the hope that Gracie will ever walk like Lydia, touch her nose like Frankie or eat crisps like Amber. With all the unknowns, one thing I do know for certain: Grace is every last inch as loving and beautiful as Amber. And Amy. And Lauren. And Megan. And Frankie. And Lydia.

Florida Session – Maggie & Boys

My last session before leaving Florida. Can’t wait to do it again next time!

If you like what you’ve seen from my Florida sessions and are thinking you want in next time, I might have enough bookings to warrant a working-weekend in Orlando. Please get in touch so I can start thinking about when we’ll do this again.
