A Favourite Location<\/h5>\n

I had a pre-shoot consultation with a lovely Mum about what kind of photoshoot she would like and she decided she would love the ocean in the photos as her family loved holidaying in the Malborough Sounds. \u00a0I told her about a new location I had discovered at Naval Point, Lyttelton which was perfect for family photography in the Christchurch area. \u00a0She was very keen and booked me as her family photographer.<\/p>\n

Harsh Lighting<\/h5>\n

I had only been to Naval Point once for a shoot and that was in very early spring when the sun set fairly early and over a different part of the hills. \u00a0I found that the initial locations I used with my gorgeous teen model were still lit quite late by what I can only call fairly harsh sunlight.<\/p>\n

A Bit of a Wait<\/h5>\n

Sometimes it’s better to wait for the light to improve, so we did that. \u00a0We walked down a wharf to the end. \u00a0There was an annoying sign in the way which we had to avoid. \u00a0The wind was almost gale force. \u00a0I heard from my photographer friends that there were a lot of shoots cancelled last spring. \u00a0I however shoot mainly in the studio and toughed it out in the outdoor conditions. \u00a0It wasn’t ideal but I still achieved some wonderful photos.<\/p>\n

My shoots are almost ALWAYS about the experience rather than just the photos themselves. \u00a0We watched the sun setting behind the Port Hills and I decided to concentrating on back lighting this lovely Mum and her two daughters. \u00a0We had a few tickle moments and lots of laughs.<\/p>\n

At one point there was a huge gust of wind which nearly swept my subjects into the ocean. \u00a0We all laughed our heads off – it was such a close thing!<\/p>\n

A Reluctant Subject<\/h5>\n

The older daughter didn’t want to come on the shoot and was tired from the busy end of year activities that school had thrust upon her. \u00a0She really didn’t want her photo taken, but by the end of the shoot she was loving being posed on the wharf and was very relaxed.<\/p>\n

A Basketball shot |Family Photographer |Christchurch<\/h5>\n

My favourite photos of the whole shoot would have to be the basketball shots I took down an abandoned rail track in Lyttelton of the older girl. \u00a0It was on the road as we were driving out and had a fantastic urban setting. \u00a0In black and white, this photo is so classic. \u00a0It shows her personality and the hobby she absolutely loves. \u00a0This is my favourite part about being a family photographer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Final Artwork |Family Photographer | Christchurch<\/h5>\n

The final artwork from this shoot is fantastic. \u00a0The basketball photo became a Christmas present for the older daughter. \u00a0Hopefully she will have it on the wall for her whole life. \u00a0The favourite photo of the Mum and her daughters was also printed and hung on the wall. \u00a0I’m incredibly happy with how the shoot turned out.<\/p>\n
