This studio shoot in the flat was done for the lovely Sarah, Ben and baby William, friends of my sister. It took around 2 hours (including Willy Woo's lunch and a nap), and was an awful lot of fun. William was very bonnie and chirpy, endlessly posing and messing around for the camera.
One thing he struggled with was sitting up on his own, which made for some funny moments as he fully accepted the topple with a comic confused face.
Thanks to Sarah and Ben for being fantastic and letting me get some practice in - I hope they enjoy the free photos!
Whilst I didn't have to think all that hard to make good poses as William did most of the work for me, logistically it was a challenge as he wouldn't repeat anything, so my adjustments of settings and lighting had to be lightening quick not to miss moments. Quite a lot of the shoot ended up naturally lit (with only the umbrellas on constant) rather than moving the flash. Something to me to work on getting more consistent is my flash placement and general controlled illumination.
Shot with Tamron 17-50 2.8, canon 100mm and OM 50mm 1.8
